"MR. K.C. HARINGTON AND MISS R.E. LESLIE. The engagement is announced between Kit, younger son of David and Deborah Harington of Worcestershire, and Rose, middle daughters of Sebastian and Candy Leslie of Aberdeenshire," the announcement reads via BBC.
Harington and Leslie first met on the set of "Game of Thrones" back in 2012 playing star-crossed lovers Jon Snow and Ygritte. Their relationship quickly ignited a slew of online memes with Ygritte's dying words, "You know nothing, Jon Snow," becoming Internet famous.
Leslie would depart from the show two years after, and Harington would eventually become one of the series' protagonist. But while Leslie may have left the show, it looks like their relationship persisted.
However, it was only in 2016 that the two officially confirmed their relationship while attending the Olivier Awards held in London together.
Both 30, Harington revealed to L'uomo Vogue that they fell in love in Iceland while filming the show's second season. "Because the country is beautiful, because the Northern Lights are magical, and because it was there that I fell in love," he says.
Harington further explained that it wasn't that hard to fall for Leslie. According to him, since he was already attracted to her in the first, playing love interests in the show had made it quite easy to fall for each other.
