Do we know anything about Iwan Rheon's child?

Iwan and Zoe are extremely private about their son, thought to be aged four or five and born in August 2018. The family of three live in London.

Zoe did share one photo of their little boy back in June 2019, which showed herself and her son in a taxi. Their baby would have been roughly 10 months old at the time.

Zoe wrote: "Thanks @wftv_uk For organising a #mumandbaby afternoon. Too busy having #networking #fun to take any photos so here we are on the way home! #womeninfilm #mothers #tiredmumsclub."

With such creative and talented parents, we imagine that baby boy Rheon-Grisedale will have one fun upbringing in a music-filled household.
