Kit Harington and Rose Leslie welcome second baby as Game of Thrones couple 'delighted'

Game of Thrones co-stars Kit Harington and Rose Leslie have welcomed their second child together.

The couple said they are "delighted" with their new bundle of joy after Rose gave birth to a baby girl.

Kit and Rose fell in love after meeting on the hit HBO show and have been in a relationship since 2011.

They became engaged in 2017 and tied the knot the following June in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

Rose confirmed they were starting a family together in 2020 and their first child, a baby boy, was first spotted in February 2021. The couple have worked hard to keep him out of the spotlight and are yet to reveal his name.

Speaking about their newborn daughter, a representative for Kit told The Mirror: "They’re delighted to have welcomed a little girl into the family."

Kit first announced Rose's second pregnancy in February this year during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

The 36-year-old had been talking about his son when he confirmed the news.

Kit said: "He is about the get the shock of his life, which is that he's about to get a brother or sister."

He then went on to admit that he was scared about welcoming another baby.

The couple met while filming Game of Thrones (Home Box Office Inc.)

He said: "You know with the first baby, you're like, walking on clouds and dancing through fields and daisies for nine months? Well, the man is anyway.

"This time, the reality check comes much shorter and you get practical, like, real quick."

Kit went on to say that he and Rose tried to explain to their son that he is going to have a sibling but he "doesn't quite conceptually understand it just yet".

Kit rose to fame starring as Jon Snow in Game of Thrones and was one of the few characters who survived from the pilot episode to the end.

Rose appeared in the show as Ygritte, a woman of the Free Folk, until season four.
