GoT stars Kit Harington, Rose Leslie to welcome their first child

Game of Thrones co-stars Kit Harington and Rose Leslie are expecting their first child together. The news was revealed via a feature and photoshoot for the summer 2020 issue of UK's Make Magazine that was published on Saturday.

A black-and-white picture from the shoot for Make magazine showed Leslie with her growing baby bump on full display.

Harington , 33 and Leslie, 33, first met on the sets of Emmy-winning HBO series Game of Thrones wherein they played star-crossed lovers Jon Snow and Ygritte.

Even though the couple never confirmed their relationship in their early years of dating, the rumours of their budding were rife since 2012. In 2013, it was reported that the couple had split only to get back together the same year.

The couple finally made their relationship official when they showed up as a couple at the Olivier Awards in April 2016. Harington also told Vogue Italia that he fell in love with his costar while filming "GoT" in Iceland.

In an interview with GQ Australia published in 2019, Harington said that he is looking forward to the time when his and Leslie's child will see his/her parents meet on GoT.

"I have no idea if we will, but say me and Rose do have children," he said. "They'll know. They'll be able to see the genesis of their parents getting together. Which is quite a wonderful thought, really."

The couple got married in a star-studded wedding at Wardhill Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland in June 2018.

Leslie, who played Ygritte in GoT, was killed off on the series in 2014. She will next be seen in Death on the Nile, a film which is adapted from Agatha Christie's novel of the same name.

Harington, who portrayed Jon Snow on the HBO fantasy series, appeared as the main protagonist of the show.

The couple keeps their marriage private and are not active on any social media platforms.
