Game of Thrones stars Kit Harington and Rose Leslie have welcomed their second child, a baby girl. Harington and Leslie, who met while playing star-crossed lovers Jon Snow and Ygritte on the Emmy-winning HBO drama, are already parents to a 2-year-old son. The couple has not yet released any details about their daughter’s name or birthdate.
In February, Harington announced that he and Leslie were expecting their second child during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. He said that his son was “about to get the shock of his life” when he learns that he is going to be a big brother.
Harington and Leslie have been married since 2018. They live in a farmhouse in Scotland, where they raised their son.
The couple has been open about their struggles with mental health. Harington has spoken about his battle with depression and anxiety, which he said began after Game of Thrones ended in 2019. He has since sought treatment and has said that he is doing better.
Leslie has also spoken about her own mental health struggles. She has said that she has suffered from anxiety and panic attacks. She has said that she is grateful for her husband’s support and that she is “in a much better place” now.
The couple’s announcement of their second child comes as a happy surprise to fans. They have been praised for their openness about their mental health struggles and for their commitment to their family.
