Kit Harington has shared a rare comment about his marriage to his wife and Game of Thrones co-star, Rose Leslie. As well as his “very loving” relationship, Kit opened up about being a father to their two children.
Kit Harington says wife Rose Leslie has been “there through all the hard stuff”
“We’re very loving and tactile,” Kit told Mr Porter of his romance with Rose. They began dating in 2011 after meeting on the set of the hit HBO series, and married in 2018.
“And we make sure we tell each other that we love each other,” the Jon Snow actor added. “Rose is just the most genuine soul. I’m very, very lucky. I really am.”
Next, Kit commented on how his relationship with Rose was impacted by his struggles with addiction, which he has been open about previously. “Rose was there through all of the hard stuff, and she’s been through some journeys with me,” he explained. “But it has truly worked out.”
In 2021, Kit told The Sunday Times about “things” that had happened to him since the end of Game of Thrones. He described them as being “of a pretty traumatic nature” and said “they did include alcohol.”
“You get to a place where you feel like you are a bad person, you feel like you are a shameful person,” he added at the time. “And you feel that there’s no way out, that’s just who you are.”
Kit went to rehab and got sober, later telling GQ he was “lucky” to have done so before having kids.
And speaking of his children, Kit told Mr Porter that “fatherhood happened at just the right time.”
“[I’m] good at being a dad,” he went on.
