Bonnie Wright Welcomes Baby Boy with Husband Andrew Lococo: 'Birth Is the Wildest Experience!'
A New Weasley Joins the World
The wizarding world just got a little more magical. Bonnie Wright, forever beloved as Ginny Weasley in the Harry Potter franchise, has officially entered the world of motherhood. The 32-year-old actress and her husband, Andrew Lococo, welcomed their first child together—a baby boy named Elio Ocean Wright Lococo—on September 19. The couple announced the joyous news on Wednesday via Instagram, sharing an adorable snapshot of their newborn sporting a white and dark yellow striped hat, swaddled in a cozy blanket.
Wright, who played the fiery redhead throughout all eight films, described the birth as “the wildest experience” in a heartfelt caption that resonated with fans around the globe. The post quickly amassed thousands of likes and comments, with followers and fellow celebrities alike celebrating the arrival of the newest member of the Wright-Lococo family.
The Heartfelt Birth Announcement
In her signature candid style, Wright took to Instagram to share every detail of her birthing journey. She expressed profound gratitude for her “birth team,” which included midwives Tiffany and Taylor of @dosmidwifery, doula Patti of @umamother, and doctor Phabby of @phabulouscare. “We’re all healthy and happy,” she wrote. “Andrew and I are so in love with our sun 🌞! So grateful for our birth team that have held our hands throughout and made the journey so joyous and expanding.”
The new mom didn’t shy away from the raw emotions of the experience. “Birth is the wildest experience!” she exclaimed, before adding a personal thank-you to her husband: “Thanks to Andrew my rock throughout birth quite literally as I squeezed onto you so tight and you never wavered. Elio has the most tender loving papa.” She humorously wrapped up the caption by calling it her “hormonal emotional extra long caption over!” — a relatable moment that endeared her to parents everywhere.
A Star-Studded Congratulations
The Harry Potter family quickly rallied around the new parents. Evanna Lynch, who portrayed Luna Lovegood in the films, was among the first to comment. “Awwww congratulations Bonnie and Andrew!!! Welcome to Earth, Elio Ocean!!! 💙🌊,” she wrote, before adding a fun piece of trivia: “ps. Hermione’s birthday twin, I’m sure you’ve been told!!” Indeed, September 19 is the official birthday of Hermione Granger, making Elio Ocean’s arrival even more magical for Potterheads.
James Phelps, who played Fred Weasley on screen, also chimed in with a simple but heartfelt “Huge congratulations!!” Fans, too, couldn’t resist weaving in Potter lore. One wrote, “AH!! ANOTHER WEASLEY?!?” while another joked, “100 points to Gryffindor 🦁🙂.” The comments section became a celebration of both the new baby and the enduring legacy of the franchise.
From Hogwarts to Motherhood
Bonnie Wright’s journey from child star to mother is a story of evolution and purpose. After the Harry Potter series concluded, Wright shifted her focus to environmental activism, writing, and producing. She earned a degree in film and television from the University of the Arts London, directed several short films, and became a vocal advocate for sustainable living. Her Instagram feed often features eco-friendly tips and ocean clean-up initiatives—a passion that may have influenced her son’s middle name, Ocean.
Wright met Andrew Lococo, a 38-year-old marketing executive and surfer, in 2020. The couple tied the knot in an intimate outdoor ceremony at The Ecology Center in San Juan Capistrano, California, in March 2022. Exactly one year after their first anniversary, they announced their pregnancy with a stunning photo shoot atop a mountain, surrounded by wildflowers. “We’re having a baby! So excited to share this beautiful land with them,” Wright wrote at the time. “What a wild and humbling journey pregnancy is, transforming to make space for new life.”
A Love Story for the Ages
The couple’s relationship has been a beacon of low-key romance. Unlike many Hollywood pairings, Wright and Lococo have largely kept their private life out of the spotlight, choosing instead to share only fleeting moments of their love story. Their wedding was a reflection of their shared values: sustainability, intimacy, and a deep connection to nature. Lococo, a surfer and business owner, complements Wright’s activist spirit perfectly.
Fans have watched Wright’s journey from on-screen witch to real-life mom with awe. Her pregnancy announcement in April sparked a wave of nostalgia, with many remarking how “Ginny Weasley is having a baby!” Now, with Elio Ocean here, the couple is embracing the chaos and joy of parenthood. “Birth is the wildest experience!” Wright wrote, and her followers couldn’t agree more.
