Nick Frost, who is set to appear in J.K. Rowling's upcoming adaptation, Harry Potter, quietly welcomed his fourth child.

The 54-year-old English actor confirmed the joyful family update this week.

In a recent conversation with Michael Rosenbaum on his podcast, Inside of You, he hinted he and Hayley have quietly married, repeatedly referring to her as his "wife". 

"My f***ing kids keep me young. I’ve got a six-month-old, one’s four, one’s eight, and I’ve got a big, big boy who’s 15,"  he said.

The Hot Fuzz actor continued, "And, it’s like, it’s interesting that I can still... I don’t feel old at all in terms of being able to whiz these kids about." 

Nick Frost's extensive dating history 

For those unfamiliar, Nick Frost has recently shot to prominence after he was announced as the new Hagrid in HBO's new television adaptation of JK Rowling's books.

The Paul actor is also a father of his eldest son Mac with his first wife, TV executive Christina Lesbirel, and the younger three with Hayley. He did not reveal the name or sex of the baby.

Notably, Nick Frost and his partner, Hayley, have maintained a highly private long-term relationship.

While they rarely make public appearances or discuss their relationship in detail, here is the timeline of what is publicly known about their life together.

After his separation from his ex-wife Christina in 2015, the actor and writer began dating Hayley. 

However, in 2018, the couple was expecting their first child together, but in March 2019, Nick publicly mentioned his "girlfriend" for the first time, noting that they had recently welcomed a baby four months prior and were successfully navigating a blended family dynamic with his ex-wife. 

They expanded their family with the birth of their second child together, a daughter, whose name and face have been kept away from the spotlight. 

Along with Nick Frost's teenage son from his previous marriage, they live together as a family of five in southwest London.     

The upcoming HBO Original Harry Potter TV series is officially scheduled to premiere on December 25th, 2026.
