Harry Potter star Jessie Cave has confirmed her newborn son is safely back at home after testing positive for coronavirus.

The  actress, best known for playing Lavender Brown in the blockbuster film adaptations, and partner Alfie Brown welcomed baby Tenn in October after a “traumatic” delivery that left him in the neonatal unit.

On Tuesday, the 33-year-old revealed he was back in hospital after contracting Covid-19. However, she reassured her fans that Tenn was “doing well” and the doctors were being “vigilant and cautious”.

Cave shared an update on Thursday, writing on Instagram: “Baby is home now. Thank you for all the well wishes and messages of support. Be safe everybody. Amazing care from everybody at Chelsea & Westminster.”

She also shared a series of photos from their stay, including a note with her busy feeding schedule on it.

Singer Paloma Faith had been among the well-wishers sending messages of support.

The pop star, who is pregnant with her second child, wrote: “Sending so much love to you all …. having one soon and the anxiety is real! God bless the NHS!”

Podcaster and author Elizabeth Day shared a series of heart emojis.

Cave and her comedien partner Brown, are already parents to Donnie, five, and Margot, three.

They had originally named their baby boy Abraham “Bam” Benjamin but announced in December they had changed his name to Tenn.

After giving birth, Cave detailed how he was delivered 40 minutes after her waters broke, saying: “This has been a very different experience to my first two births… much more humbling, terrifying and out of my control.”
