SHOCKING: Harry potter star jessie cave announces engagement to comedian boyfriend alfie brown - You Need To See This

Harry Potter star Jessie Cave has announced she’s engaged to her boyfriend Alfie Brown.

The actress, 38, and the comedian have been together for twelve years, and share children, Donnie, 11, Margot, nine, Abraham, five and Becker, three.

Cave - who played Lavender Brown in the Harry Potter films - shared a happy selfie of the pair, along with another snap showing off her diamond ring.

She joked in the caption: “12 years and 4 kids later... it's getting serious.”

Footage of Brown using a racial slur in a stand-up routine in 2015 resurfaced in 2023, which meant he lost his agent, manager and tour dates - his last comedy special, released in December, was called The Last Cancelled Comedian.

Last year, Cave made headlines for setting up an OnlyFans - for her hair.

She later spoke about the downsides of creating an account, and said she would often receive frightening messages.

“It's gotten a little nasty. I feel a little gross, a little scared. I am receiving too many lurid messages and don't like being sent unsolicited d***s...” she wrote on Substack.

“No matter how many times I say I am not doing sexual content, I get a message within two seconds asking to see [sperm] in my hair or if I would just please f***ing consider full frontal.”

The actress, podcaster and writer also wrote about how tough it is to make money in the entertainment industry describing her "sense of shame “ of having to set up an OnlyFans account.

“It's proof of my failure to make (or rather, keep hold of) money as an actress and writer. I've got nothing to show for 18 years of work in the arts industry...” she wrote.

“I've rented for 18 years and drained all my money on that and self-funding my YouTube videos or Edinburgh shows.”

Her bio on the site read: “Former Harry Potter actress, writer, doodler and now Only Fans Long Hair Specialist. I do NICHE HAIR CONTENT which you may well quite like. How magical!

“If you have a hair thing, this is the place for you. If you want something specific, you can message me and I will be happy to see what we can do.”
