Harry Potter star Bonnie Wright opens up about newborn son’s health after six hospitalisations in five weeks
Bonnie Wright has opened up about her newborn son’s health, revealing he’s been hospitalised ‘six times in his five weeks of life’.
The Harry Potter actress, 36, who played the role of Ginny Weasley for all eight of the films, and her husband Andrew Lococo, welcomed their second child on 28 September - a baby boy named Aster Sky Wright Lococo.
The couple are already parents to another son, Elio, who is three years old.
On Saturday (7 November), the actress shared a photo of herself holding the little one on Instagram, alongside a caption about how he’s doing.

Wright penned: “Our sweet little Aster has been to the hospital 6 times in his 5 weeks of life. Getting treatment for a condition we knew he’d be born with.
“He is such a strong, chill little baby. Feeling so lucky to have such supportive family and friends. Helping take Elio to preschool, cooking us meals, checking in on us. The village is possible; text/call your pals.”
However, she didn’t share what the condition was or elaborate on treatment.
It comes less than a month after the couple introduced their new baby to the world, sharing a carousel of photos on social media and the sweet meaning behind his name.
Wright shared that Aster Sky was born at home and is ‘named after the star-shaped flower’.
She added: “Our little star has been showered in love by his big brother Elio. Thank you, universe, for my loving bundle of boys! And thank you @umamother @meaghan_snider_ for guiding us through the birth portal.”
The actress included a photo of baby Aster in a striped onesie, another of him cuddled up on his mum’s chest, and a third and fourth of him being pushed around in a pram by his big brother and his dad.
Wright and Lococo met through a mutual friend at the end of 2018, tied the knot in California in March 2022, and welcomed Elio in September 2023.
Speaking to US Magazine in 2024, the actress revealed she can’t wait to watch the wizarding movies with her own children.
She told the outlet: “I hope he actually likes it! I mean, I can’t force it on him, but I’m definitely gonna positively encourage reading it.
“I hope to read it to him … but I definitely will make sure we read the books before we watch the movies. Could be like reading a book, [then] watching a movie.
“But I’m definitely gonna make sure we go through the books. I also remember growing up with the audiobooks, so maybe the audiobooks would be nice.”
As for her husband, she explained at the time that he hadn’t actually seen any of the films before they met.
The actress explained: “We did it a bit out of order when, randomly, we went once with all our family to one of those city concerts they do where you listen to the score while you watch it.
“So, he’d only got up to, like, Goblet of Fire, and then we suddenly went to watch Deathly Hallows Part 1, and I was like, ‘You have missed a vital section!’ So we need to go back a bit. “But he’s never read the books, so I hope he can be part of it with our son. I’m sure he will.”
