Game Of Thrones star Rose Leslie has spoken out on her pregnancy, saying she’s ‘thrilled’ to be expecting her first child with her husband Kit Harington.
The actress, who confirmed she was pregnant earlier this year, simply said: ‘I am thrilled to be expecting, and I can’t wait to meet the new member of our family!’
So cute!
Meanwhile, the pair have also welcomed a new addition to the family in the form of their new Whippet puppy.
‘It was a wonderful thing,’ the 33-year-old added to the New York Post of bringing the pup home during lockdown. ‘If we hadn’t been forced to stay behind our front door, we couldn’t properly train her and make sure she didn’t poop all over the house.’
The actress, who played Ygritte on the fantasy series opposite Kit’s Jon Snow, announced her pregnancy and showed off her baby bump in September in stunning photos for Make Magazine.
Speaking to the publication, she explained that the pair of them have moved home to England ahead of having their baby. ‘What a glorious thing to be able to run to the countryside and recoup,’ she said.
‘It’s a great privilege to be surrounded by greenery, birdsong and hedgerows, and our delightful neighbours. It’s so peaceful.’
The couple met on the set of the fantasy series, and played on-screen lovers.
They went on to tie the knot in a gorgeous fairytale wedding, which was attended by plenty of their GOT pals.
While the sweet couple have kept much of their romance private, Kit previously revealed that he fell in love with Rose when the pair were filming for Game Of Thrones in Iceland.
He told Vogue Italia: ‘Because the country is beautiful, because the Northern Lights are magical, and because it was there that I fell in love.
‘If you’re already attracted to someone, and then they play your love interest in the show, it’s becomes very easy to fall in love.’
Most recently, dad-to-be Kit was seen running out for supplies, with the 33-year-old donning a mask for his trip.
He looked to be stocking up and running errands as the pair prepare to welcome their little one.
Kit’s the latest Game Of Thrones star to be expecting a baby, with his on-screen sister, Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark), recently welcoming a daughter with her husband Joe Jonas.
