Now, however, [PEOPLE reports](http://people.com/tv/kit-harington-rose-leslie-engaged/) that a source has confirmed the two are engaged. “If you’re already attracted to someone, and then they play your love interest in the show, it becomes very easy to fall in love,” Harington told _L’Uomo Vogue_ [back in 2016](http://www.vogue.it/en/l-uomo-vogue/cover-story/2016/05/11/kit-harington/). Leslie moved in with him this year according to a June [appearance on James Corden’s show](http://people.com/tv/kit-harington-talks-living-with-rose-leslie-engagement/). At that time, fellow guest Nicole Kidman prodded Harington about his proposal plans — but he said he was taking things “step by step.” Harington and Leslie are major fan favorites, thanks to some seriously [memorable (and steamy) scenes](http://time.com/4298174/game-of-thrones-season-6-happy/item//) they’ve shared in the fantasy show. While Daenerys Targaryen [may have caught](http://time.com/4919242/game-of-thrones-season-7-finale-tyrion-watching-jon-daenerys/) Jon Snow’s eye onscreen for now, it’s clear that Ygritte has been the one for him all along. _Game of Thrones_ returns with its final season next year. Until then, we’ll have to satisfy ourselves with the real-life drama these actors are happily playing out. People are already excited about it. > [](https://twitter.com/cerseimy/status/909962453668253696) > [](https://twitter.com/marta%5Fmgab/status/912753605815521281) > [](https://twitter.com/IsabelWood00/status/912735233983832064) > [](https://twitter.com/MikeSington/status/912636028170547201) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4957955/kit-harington-engaged-rose-leslie/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4957955/kit-harington-engaged-rose-leslie/"},"headline":"Kit Harington and Rose Leslie Are Engaged.
