Congratulations are in order for Game Of Thrones stars Kit Harington and Rose Leslie, as the married couple have announced they are expecting their first child together.
The pair, who played the roles of Jon Snow and Ygritte in the hit TV series, announced their news via a photoshoot for Make Magazine, with editor Ursula Lake writing on Instagram, 'So wonderful working with the beautiful Rose Leslie for the cover story of @make_magazineuk out now! A very special all woman team photographic shoot capturing Rose at this wonderful time as she prepares for motherhood for the first time! My team were: @billiescheepersphotography @liztaw doing beautiful hair and @justinejenkins wonderful makeup. Rose wears @stellamccartney. Huge thanks to @vrwpublicity for organising the shoot and to Hannah Rand for her interview.' (sic)
After meeting on the popular show in 2012 and falling for each-other off screen, Kit and Rose tied the knot on Saturday 23rd June in 2018, at a stunning ceremony which took place at Rayne Church in West Garioch, Scotland.
The ceremony then moved to one of Scotland's oldest castles, Wardhill Castle, to continue the wedding celebrations, a location which has been owned by the Leslie family for the past 900 years.
