Harington and Leslie met on season two of hit HBO series ‘Game of Thrones’, where they played Jon Snow and Ygritte respectively. Their characters fell in love on screen, too. Rumours around the existence of a real-life romance began in 2012 and the pair became engaged in 2017, then married the following year.

According to Make Magazines’s profile, Leslie and Harington now share a “Tudor manor house deep in East Anglia.”
