Kit terrified as he reveals Rose expecting 2nd child
Kit Har ington has revealed his wife Rose Leslie is pregnant with their second child, admitting that he is terrified.
English star Kit and Scot Rose, 35, met while starring together in HBO’s sprawling fantasy series Game Of Thrones, which ended in 2019 after eight seasons.
The couple met in 2012 and went on to tie the knot in 2018 at Leslie’s ancestral home of Wardhill Castle near Inverurie in Aberdeenshire.
They announced the birth of their son, whose name has not been revealed, in February 2021.
Appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in the US, Kit said of his two-year-old son: “We think he might be quite smart.
“It’s surprising, seeing as we’re both actors, we’re not sure quite where that has come from.”
The 36-year- old added: “He loves applause, every time he does something good we give him applause and we’re worrying that is k ind of pushing him towards acting.
“We’re a bit like, ‘ You might be too smart for this, go save the world.
“We’re thick, we had no choice’.” Speaking about how their first son might react to the new addition to the family, Kit said: “He’s about to get the shock of his life, which is he’s about to get a brother or sister. I’m terrified. “With the first baby you’re walking on clouds and dancing through f ields of daisies for nine months, well the man is anyway.
“But this time the reality check comes much sooner, you get practical real quick.
“I ’ m not sure he’s quite conceptually understood it yet.
“We’re trying to get him ready for it, we point at Rose’s tummy and we say, ‘Mummy’s baby’ and he points at his tummy and says, ‘My baby’.”
Kit played Jon Snow in Game Of Thrones while Rose played Ygritte.
