Harry Potter star Bonnie Wright has revealed that her newborn son has been taken to hospital six times in the first five weeks of his life. The 35-year-old actress, best known for playing Ginny Weasley in the wizarding franchise, welcomed her second child, Aster Sky, with husband Andrew Lococo on September 28.
The family has faced a challenging period as the baby boy receives treatment for a medical condition that was identified before his birth. Sharing a photograph of herself cradling Aster in hospital, covering his face with a white heart emoji, Bonnie wrote on Instagram: "Our sweet little Aster has been to the hospital 6 times in his 5 weeks of life. Getting treatment for a condition we knew he'd be born with."
A Strong and Chill Little Baby
Although the actress chose not to reveal the nature of her son's condition or the treatment he is receiving, she reassured followers that the baby was coping well. "He is such a strong, chill little baby," she continued.
Bonnie also used the emotional update to thank the friends and family who have supported her and Andrew as they care for a newborn alongside their three-year-old son, Elio. "Feeling so lucky to have such supportive family and friends," she wrote. "Helping take Elio to preschool, cooking us meals, checking in on us." She added: "The village is possible, text/call your pals."
Announcing Aster's Arrival
The update comes weeks after Bonnie announced Aster's arrival with a collection of family photographs. On October 17, she introduced her youngest son, revealing he had been born at home nearly three weeks earlier. "Say hello to our son Aster Sky Wright Lococo born at home on the 28th September," she wrote.
Explaining the inspiration behind his name, Bonnie revealed that Aster was named after the star-shaped flower. "Our little star has been showered in love by his big brother Elio," she added. "Thank you universe for my loving bundle of boys!"
Family Life and Activism
Bonnie and Andrew married in March 2022, two years after she began sharing glimpses of their relationship on social media. The couple welcomed their first son, Elio Ocean, in September 2023, before announcing in April this year that their family was growing again. Sharing a photograph of Elio resting against her baby bump, the actress declared: "Two babies on my lap," adding: "Our second little earthling joining us this autumn!!"
Since finding fame as Ginny Weasley, Bonnie has focused increasingly on environmental activism and sustainable living. In 2022, she published Go Gently: Actionable Steps to Nurture Yourself and the Planet, and she has launched Earthling, a family-focused initiative encouraging children to connect with nature. While Bonnie has kept the specifics of Aster's medical condition private, her update offered a glimpse into the support helping the family through his first weeks of life.
