Game of Thrones Baby: Kit Harington & Rose Leslie Welcome First Child

Move over Mother of Dragons. Jon Snow is officially a Father! Of a baby boy. Not a dragon.

Kit Harington, who played the iconic Jon Snow in Game of Thrones, welcomed his first child – a son – earlier this year. He and his wife, Rose Leslie, who played Ygritte on the show, were recently seen walking their tiny cherub in a carrier.

Kit and Rose, who met in a steamy cave on Game of Thrones almost a decade ago, were married in 2018. A representative confirmed the news that, yes, the pair had welcomed a son and are “very, very happy”.

Although neither Kit nor Rose is too active on social media, an Instagram fan page shared the photos of Kit and Rose holding hands and strolling with their son. Naww!

The page also shared one of Kit rocking his signature long curly locks, plus carrier and his dog. Sigh. He’s still so dreamy. I’ll even forgive him for the turtleneck.

No news on the name yet but I’m praying that they go with Ned.

Congrats team Harington!
