Daniel Radcliffe brings partner Erin Darke to 2026 Tony Awards as nominee

Daniel Radcliffe brought his longtime partner Erin Darke to the 2026 Tony Awards on June 7 as he competes for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Play for his role in the one-man show Every Brilliant Thing. The couple walked the red carpet together at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, marking a glamorous date night for the theater world’s biggest celebration.

Quick Facts

• Radcliffe is nominated in the Best Leading Actor in a Play category for Every Brilliant Thing
• He previously won a Tony Award in 2024 for Merrily We Roll Along
• Radcliffe and Darke met in 2012 while filming the movie Kill Your Darlings
• The couple welcomed a baby boy together in 2023

For the evening, the 36-year-old actor wore a blue-gray tuxedo with silver lapels and a matching silver bow tie, while Darke, 41, coordinated in a flowing navy dress with a silver purse. The pair’s coordinated look reflected their longtime partnership, which began when they met playing love interests on screen over a decade ago.

Every Brilliant Thing is a heartwarming play that follows a man reflecting on his life through a list of small joys that made it worth living.
