Georgia, who rose to fame with a starring role in the hit teen flick Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging, reportedly started dating Rupert back in 2011.
In a 2018 interview with The Guardian, Rupert hinted children could be on the horizon, as he celebrated turning 30.
He said: "Turning 30 felt strange. It just doesn’t feel like I’m there yet and I don’t know what the future holds.
"I’m just going to go with the flow, keep playing interesting characters and see what happens.
"I’d like to settle down and have kids soon. If I had a son, would I call him Ron?
"It’s quite a good name, but probably not. And Grint’s a tough name to pair a one-syllable first name with."
