Game of Thrones stars Kit Harington and Rose Leslie expecting second baby, actor says 'I'm terrified'

Game of Thrones actors Kit Harington and Rose Leslie are set to welcome their second child. The couple tied the knot in 2018 and welcomed their first child, a boy in 2021.

The 36-year-old actor, who played the role of Jon Snow in the series, made the revelation on the NBC talk show The Tonight Show.

When host Jimmy Fallon asked him about their two-year-old son, the actor said, "He's about to get the shock of his life, which is that he's about to get a brother or sister."

Opening up about the differences in his mindset between expecting the first baby and now preparing for the second, he said, "With the first baby, you're like walking on clouds and dancing through fields of daisies for nine months - well, the man is, anyway. But this time, the reality check comes much shorter. You get practical real quick."

He also revealed that he is "terrified."

When asked on The Tonight Show what his oldest son thinks of a newborn entering the family, Harington revealed that he doesn't think his child has "quite conceptually understood it just yet." "We're trying to get him ready for it. We point to Rose's tummy and we say, 'Mommy's baby, mommy's baby.' And he points to his tummy and goes, 'My baby.' I'm quite sure that's — yeah, you'll know soon enough," he added.

Harington and Leslie's love story

They met in 2012 on the set of Game of Thrones, the HBO epic fantasy drama series, in which they played on-screen lovers Jon Snow and Ygritte.

The couple engaged in 2017 and tied the knot next year in Scotland's Aberdeenshire.

Leslie's first pregnancy was revealed by a magazine when the actress debuted her baby bump on the cover.
