Kit Harington and Rose Leslie, who famously portrayed on-screen lovers Jon Snow and Ygritte in the hit HBO series, are expecting their second child together.

The couple, who met on the set of Game of Thrones in 2012, has always been in the spotlight, and their love story is nothing short of a fairy tale.

They tied the knot in 2018 and welcomed their first child, a boy, in 2021. And now, as they prepare to expand their family once again, fans are over the moon with excitement.

On Friday, February 3rd, the 36-year-old star showed up on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and spoke about his son and the upcoming shock he will soon get. He officially announced The Time Traveler’s Wife actress Rose Leslie’s second pregnancy.

The Modern Love actor gave the host an update on his eldest kid’s development, saying, “He’s really good, but he’s about to get the shock of his life, which is that he’s about to get a brother or sister.”

Harington said on the show that he doesn’t think his oldest child has “quite conceptually understood it just yet,” that a new baby is joining the family.

“We’re trying to get him ready for it,” he said. “We point to Rose’s tummy, and we say, ‘Mommy’s baby, mommy’s baby.’ And he points to his tummy and goes, ‘My baby.’ I’m quite sure that’s – yeah, you’ll know soon enough.”

A second time around, the actor admitted he was more terrified than before. He said about the first child, “You know, with the first baby, you’re like walking on clouds and dancing through fields of daisies for nine months– well, the man is, anyway. But this time, the reality check comes much shorter. You get practical real quick [because you will have] two of them.”

The Eternals actor and The Last Witch Hunter actress are delighted with their firstborn child, whose name has been kept under wraps.

Harington said about his young son, “He is good. He’s two. We think he might be quite smart, which is surprising since we’re both actors, like, we’re not sure quite where that’s come from.”

He shared that his boy “loves applause.” The proud dad shared, “Every time he does something good, we give him applause, and we’ve been worrying that’s kind of been pushing him toward acting. We’re a bit like, ‘You might be too smart for this. Go save the world. We’re sick; we had no choice.’”
