Rupert, who dressed head to toe in black, smiled as he held the new arrival to his chest on the family walk.
While new mum Georgia planted a loving kiss on the little one’s head when she took her turn with them in her arms.
The baby, who was wrapped in a cute blanket, looked to have Rupert’s ginger hair colour.
Georgia and Rupert welcomed their first child, daughter Wednesday, almost five years ago.

Child star Rupert joined Instagram to announce his firstborn and quickly racked up more than a million followers.
He wrote at the time: “Hey Instagram….only 10 years late, but here I am. Grint on the Gram! Here to introduce you all to Wednesday G. Grint. Stay safe, Rupert.”
It is one of only two appearances Wednesday has made on his grid. The second came over three years ago to commemorate a reunion with his Harry Potter co-stars.
Rupert now has 5.3 million followers.
The star, who recently appeared in Apple TV’s Servant, keeps his personal life private, but did make a rare comment on fatherhood in 2021.
He told Entertainment Tonight: “It’s great. I’m absolutely loving being a dad. It’s just the best thing.

“It’s amazing how it completely kind of takes over everything. It’s all I really care about, so it’s been great.”
During his partner’s second pregnancy, Rupert had to deal with high profile planning and legal battles.
In November, he was hit with a £1.8m tax bill dating back to 2011-12 when he received £4.5million from a company which managed his business affairs.
Just days before the financial blow, Rupert had better newswinning a planning row with neighbours.
Plans for an eco village of 15 homes at his historic 18th Century former vicarage had sparked outrage.
More than a dozen locals objected to the proposed scheme, saying it was inappropriate development on green belt land and in a conservation area.
The council greenlit the project on the condition Grint will pay almost £100,000 towards local schools, library and youth services including an annual £10,000 for maintenance of the gifted land.
Grint was just 11 when he was cast as Ron Weasley in the Potter films and now has a reported £42million fortune and a massive property portfolio.
He bought 22-acre country estate in 2009 but is believed to have never actually lived there and tried to sell it for £6million in 2018.
