Daniel Radcliffe seems to have it all these days. In addition to a booming career, including a stint on Broadway, he’s happily in love with girlfriend of two years, Erin Darke. The couple met in 2012 while filming the movie Kill Your Darlings and have been together ever since. In a recent interview, Radcliffe even told UsMagazine.com that Darke is “absolutely” his best friend. “I think that’s the kind of relationship I always aspire to have with someone I’m in a relationship with. You want that person to be your best friend,” he candidly shared. “In the case of Erin, we definitely are.”

What are some advantages of your partner being your best friend?

Cupid’s Advice:

Having your partner be your best friend can create a sense of ease and comfort in your life that is unimaginably good. So what are a few of the benefits of this two-in-one relationship?

1. There is no such thing as “too much information”: When there is a strong foundation of friendship supporting the romance, there is more trust. If you and your partner start as friends, you can break down more barriers, which leads to more honest communication. There are no secrets because you do not fear judgment or betrayal from someone who is already your best friend.

2. Activities are more fun: In a typical romantic partnership, there is a ton of fun, but you probably find the need for a night out with your buddies to get into some different antics that you wouldn’t embrace with your significant other around. However, if your beau is your best friend, you’ll probably feel comfortable including each other in your friends-only activities, which leads us into our final point…

3. There is no need to keep your friends separate: Chances are, your sweetheart is already in your group of close friends. That means no neglecting your pals for your partner or vice versa. It also means that, when you’re just hanging out, you get to be surrounded by everyone you love, not just your love. Of course, when the night is over, your best friend turns back into your other half, and the fun continues with the two of you alone!

Keeping it in the family. According to People, after continuing his quest to find distant relatives, best-selling author A.J. Jacobs sat down for an interview with his newly found cousin, actor Daniel Radcliffe. In the interview, it was revealed that the 25-year-old Harry Potter star is also related to pop singer Katy Perry (who is noted for Radcliffe having a crush on) and scientist Albert Einstein. When asked if he would like to keep the Radcliffe name going in the family, the actor responded, “Maybe because I’m an only child, I love the idea of lots of kids. But it will depend to a larger part on who I end up having kids with. I think men would be a lot less excited about having kids if we had to actually do it!”

J.K. Rowling drops a bomb into the Harry Potter fandom. How did she bring about this chaos and confusion? She did so by saying, Harry and Hermione would have made a “better match” instead of her and Ron. According to UsMagazine.com she revealed this information in an interview held by Emma Watson, who plays Hermione in the block buster franchise, for The Sunday Times. She was also quoted in saying Ron and Hermione were sort of “wish-fulfillment” for her and the reasons behind them ending up together have more to do with her following through with the plan she had in the beginning than with the real “literature”. Rowling went on to acknowledge the fact, this revelation might upset some fans, but was quick to apologize and then admitted she just wanted to be honest.

Even though Daniel Radcliffe probably has the power to “cast a spell” over any woman he chooses, the Harry Potter star has vowed to remain single during his upcoming stint on Broadway.  Radcliffe will be returning to the stage in “How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying,” and has told Dazed and Confused magazine that he wants to enjoy being single during the show, particularly because of his tempting cast mates.  “I’ve been in relationships from the age of 14, and now I’m single,” said Radcliffe.  “I said to a friend the other day, ‘Dude, I’m doing a show with dancers.  I’ve got to be single.'”  Radcliffe added, “He was like, ‘Don’t sleep with anyone in your own show.  That’s a mistake.’  It’s good advice.  But I’m not sure I’ll stick to it.”
