There’s no doubt that “Game of Thrones” co-stars Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke, who portray the characters of Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen in the wildly popular show, share an impeccable on-screen chemistry. Fans were thrilled to see the “Game of Thrones” season 7 finale which showed the King of the North, Snow, hooking up with the Mother of Dragons, Daenerys. Fans do believe that their favorite actors are a couple both on-screen and off-screen, but this is not true.
Snow’s off-screen lady love
According to a report from Bustle, Kit Harington is in a steady relationship with Rose Leslie.
Leslie played the character of Ygritte, who was Snow's first love in the show. The two first met while filming on the sets of the insanely popular HBO show seven years ago in 2012. They kept their relationship private until 2016. It was at the 2016 Olivier Awards that the couple made their relationship official publicly through a red carpet debut. The lovebirds even shared a red carpet kiss for the cameras.
In an interview with Esquire magazine, the 30-year actor confirmed that he and Leslie have moved in together. Kit added that they are very, very happy being together. When the actor was asked about his favorite moment of filming “Game of Thrones,” he replied it was when he was filming Season 2 in Iceland.
He said that when somebody is already attracted towards a person and the same plays his love interest in a show then it becomes very much easier to fall in love in real life. Leslie, who has complete faith in her man, remains unaffected by speculations and rumors about Kit dating Clarke.
No formal proposal yet
Back in July, there were rumors that Harington and Leslie had gotten engaged.
The Life & Style Magazine had a detailed report that confirmed that Kit proposed his lady love during a romantic candlelight dinner and the actress said a "yes" immediately. The report was later declared false by the actor’s representative who straight-up confirmed that the two are not yet engaged.
Recently, Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke were roped in as brand ambassadors for the new Dolce & Gabbana's fragrance, "The One".
The actors can be seen in two separate D&C video ads both shot in Naples, Italy. In the ad video, the actors appear hanging with people, enjoying music, eating food and playing instruments. The ad campaigns have been directed by Italian filmmaker Matteo Garrone.
