Game of Thrones star Kit Harington welcomes baby boy with wife Rose Leslie

Game of Thrones stars Kit Harington and Rose Leslie have become proud parents of a baby boy.

The couple, who both confirmed they were having a baby in September when Rose debuted her baby bump for Make Magazine, have been spending lockdown in their Tudor manor house in East Anglia.

And this week the pair were spotted running errands in central London with a newborn baby strapped to Rose's chest, and later Kit was spotted on dad duties carrying the baby while walking a dog. 

A representative later confirmed to People that they have welcomed a baby boy and added that they are "very, very happy."

Their sweet news comes after Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke lands a new role in Discworld adaptation.

Meanwhile Kit, previously spoke of his excitement about becoming a father for the first time, even before a baby was on the cards. Speaking ahead of the May 2019 series finale of Game of Thrones, the actor told InStyle, "The most important job I'll ever have is about to finish. Well, not the most. Hopefully, I'll be a father."

Kit and Leslie met on the set of Emmy-winning HBO series Game of Thrones, when they played star-crossed lovers Jon Snow and Ygritte, and rumors of a real-life relationship were sparked in 2012.

But after a brief split, they officially confirmed they were in a relationship in 2016 before getting engaged in September 2017 when they posted a classified advert in The Times and married two years later in Scotland.
