Evanna Lynch has admitted to having had a secret nine-year relationship with Harry Potter co-star Robbie Jarvis.
The actress, who was cast as Hogwarts witch Luna Lovegood for the fifth instalment of the children's fantasy film franchise, dated Robbie Jarvis, who starred as a young James Potter, for almost a decade before they split in 2016.
According to The Mirror, the actress has confirmed they had a romance, which they kept out of the limelight.
The two first met in 2007 after they were cast in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and became so close that she even managed to get him to quit eating meat, dairy and eggs after educating him about the animal agriculture industry during a trip to New Zealand.
The pair kept their love lowkey, but fans had their suspicions, which were only fuelled when the actress paid tribute to Robbie on Instagram in a May 2015 post.
She referred to him as her "sweetest boy" and wished him a "happy 29th birthday" before revealing that they planned to see a show together.
After their break-up they remained amicable and even went on to attend vegan events together, according to The Mirror.
Evanna's influence has had a lasting impact on Robbie, who has remained vegan and occasionally posts updates about animal rights on Instagram. He also appears to now be dating professional basketball player Zoe Fleck, who is also vegan.
Evanna is also said to have found love.

She's believed to be in a relationship with an unknown French man since 2021.
"We met in London," she told RTE presenter Miriam O'Callaghan in 2022. "He's quiet. But he’s meeting the whole family this weekend."
Evanna recently hit headlines for slamming rumours that her fellow Harry Potter star Emma Watson has fallen out with the novel's author JK Rowling over her controversial views on the trans community.
Last year the Irish actress recently appeared in the Harry Potter: Return to Hogwarts HBO special to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the franchise's first instalment.
And while many cast and crew members were invited back to film scenes for the one-off taping, Rowling, 56, was nowhere to be seen.
Evanna appeared on GB News on Tuesday to address claims of an alleged rift between the cast and Rowling, saying that everyone isn’t going to agree with someone else’s opinion on things.
“I’ve talked to all the cast, they all have great respect for her even if they don’t agree with her beliefs,” Evanna said. “I really strongly disagree with the narrative that there’s a rift.”
