In the new issue of Parade magazine, Daniel opens up about his relationship with Rosie Coker.
Daniel met Rosie, a production assistant, on the set of Harry Potter and says he is in love with her!
"Yes, absolutely," he tells Parade magazine. "When Rosie’s here, every day seems better… I’m not an easy person to love. There are lots of times when I’m a very good boyfriend, but there are times when I’m useless. I mean, I’m a mess around the house. I talk nonstop. I become obsessed with things."
What's his current obsession?
"This year it’s fantasy football, which means Rosie has to listen to me talking 24 hours a day about this team. 'Should I take this player out, do you think, darling?' And she listens to it, and she loves me for my oddness, my awkwardness, all of those things that I hate about myself," he says. "She finds them cute. I guess that’s love."

Daniel also admits that he's not good at dating.
"I hated dating because I’m crap at it!" Daniel says with a laugh. "With Rosie, I didn’t know what was appropriate, like on which date you’re supposed to try and kiss her. At the end of the second date I pulled a move out of the Bela Lugosi's Book of Woo — I went to kiss Rosie and at the last minute lost my nerve and ended up kissing her neck, which is such a weirdly intimate place to kiss somebody on a second date."
How did he recover?
"Afterward, I texted her, saying, 'I’m sorry, what I just did probably seems very odd to you.' Fortunately, she just found it really funny, so she kept coming back."
