Somewhere on the internet, a fanfic prophecy has come true.

You do not know nothing …. that is, about Kit Harington and Rose Leslie’s new baby. The married War of Thrones actors silently welcomed a boy, a confirmed representative to the AND! News, adding that they are “very, very happy!” The couple, who played lovers Ygritte and Jon Snow in the HBO drama, confirmed the pregnancy with an ethereal photo shoot for British digital magazine MAKE. They were married in Leslie’s ancestral castle (of course) in Scotland in 2018, after dating intermittently since 2012. For those who don’t sign City and Countryside, having a family castle is actually something that happens outside of George RR Martin’s books. The off-screen relationship survived Ygritte’s emotional death in season four and the series’ literal death when it ended in 2019. Fortunately, Harington is much luckier with love than Jon Snow.
Pandemic babies can be the only consistent source of joy today. Jenny Slate had a daughter named Ida Lupine; Kristen Wiig welcomed twins via surrogacy; Mindy Kaling had a son; and Emma Roberts gave birth to her first, a boy named Rhodes with her boyfriend Garrett Hedlund. Fortunately, the joy won’t stop anytime soon. With Halsey and Meghan Markle announcing pregnancy recently, we keep happiness until 2021! Congratulations to all the growing families.
