Harry Potter star Jessie Cave gives birth to fourth child weeks after having Covid

Harry Potter star Jessie Cave has announced she's given birth to baby number four with partner Alfie Brown.

The actress, best known for playing Lavender Brown in the hugely popular franchise, shared the sweet news with her Instagram followers on Tuesday.

The 34-year-old uploaded an adorable snap of her breastfeeding her newborn, who she has proudly named Becker.

Her partner Alfie wrote on the post: "Welcome Becker Brown. Thank you to UCLH. Thank you to the midwives Amy and Emi-Lou. Thank you to Alisson Becker."

Among those sending well wishes was fellow Harry Potter star Anna Shaffer who wrote: "WELL DONE TEAM!!! Gorgeous gorgeous, welcome Becker, can’t wait to meet you."

Comedian Lloyd Griffith seemingly approved of the newborn's name too as he simply commented: "BECKER!!!!!"

And musician Paloma Faith penned: "Wow congratulations both the tribe is steadily increasing!"

Comedian Alfie and actress Jessie are already parents to Donnie, six, Margot, four, and 17-month-old Abraham.

Jessie had a scare during her third trimester with baby Becker after she was admitted to hospital following a positive Covid-19 test.

She kept her 210,000 Instagram followers in the loop as she updated them at the time.

She wrote: "Triage, once again…Anyone else had covid in 3rd trimester & had it hit them like a tonne of bricks for weeks? [sic].

" Coronavirus followed by Norovirus on top of the near constant nausea this entire pregnancy.

"But I'm still managing to be a total ray of sunshine don't worry," she joked.

The announcement is the latest bit of good news for the Harry Potter crew.

Earlier in the week Bonnie Wright - who plays Ginny Weasley in the films - confirmed she had married partner Andrew Lococo.

The 31-year-old shared a clip of the happy couple showing off their wedding rings while they relaxed around a pool at the weekend.

Alongside the upload, the actress said: "Yesterday was the best day of my life thanks to my husband!!"

She showcased her stunning new piece of jewellery as a dark blue square diamond sat beautifully in her gold band.

She placed her hand - with her sparkly nail varnish also on full show - above the tanned hand of her beau who sported a more traditional wedding band.

The pair were quickly inundated with an abundance of well wishes from fans and famous faces alike, including Bonnie's on-screen brother James Phelps, who responded with a number of flame emojis.
