Sparks first flew between Kit Harington and Rose Leslie in 2012 when they costarred in “Game of Thrones.” The two dated for a bit, but called it quits a year later. Fortunately, they rekindled their romance in 2016, the same year they made their red carpet debut as a couple, and now they’re married. The pair tied the knot during a romantic ceremony in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, in June 2018. The affair brought out several of the pair’s “Game of Thrones” costars, including Emilia Clarke, Peter Dinklage, Sophie Turner, and Maisie Williams.
In February 2021, the couple’s rep confirmed to E! News that they welcomed their first child, a baby boy. In an interview with Access later that August, Harington opened up about fatherhood. “I think the thing that’s surprised me most is, you know, they tell you but they don’t; everyone goes, ‘Look, it’s big. What you’re about to go through is big.’ And you have no way of knowing that until it happens,” he said. “Then what surprises you is you go, ‘Oh, this goes on forever!’ You don’t get a break from it. You’re just like . . . every day I wake up and look after this little human and now we’re part of a unit together.”
“You are now a unit, the three of you,” he added. “That’s a whole new dynamic you need to find, and pretty much find every day as he grows and changes, and how does that change you? It’s a beautiful thing, it really is.”
In addition to expanding their family, Harington is set to star in Apple TV+’s star-studded “Extrapolations” climate change series, while Leslie is starring alongside Theo James in HBO’s “The Time Traveler’s Wife” drama series.
