The former co-stars — who met playing star-crossed lovers Jon Snow and Ygritte on _Thrones —_ put out a notice in the Wednesday edition of [The Times of London newspaper](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/game-of-thrones-stars-kit-harington-and-rose-leslie-to-marry-m9vlgw2dp "undefined") making their intention to tie the knot public. “The engagement is announced between Kit, younger son of David and Deborah Harington of Worcestershire, and Rose, middle daughter of Sebastian and Candy Leslie of Aberdeenshire,” the announcement — under the names Mr. K.C. (Kit Catesby) Harington and Miss R.E. (Rose Eleanor) Leslie — read. Harington and Leslie made their public debut as a couple at the 2016 Olivier Awards and moved in together earlier this year. “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_ [in May 2016](http://www.vogue.it/en/l-uomo-vogue/cover-story/2016/05/11/kit-harington/ "undefined"). > [](https://twitter.com/elliotwagland/status/912905350298337280) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4959071/kit-harington-rose-leslie-engagement-announcement/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4959071/kit-harington-rose-leslie-engagement-announcement/"},"headline":"Kit Harington and Rose Leslie Confirmed Their Engagement in the Best Way Imaginable","datePublished":"2017-09-27T18:36:04.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:47:37.524Z","description":"\"There’s going to be a Game of Thrones wedding\"","url":"https://time.com/4959071/kit-harington-rose-leslie-engagement-announcement/","keywords":["celebrities","Newsfeed","Television","game of thrones","Kit Harington","TV","Jon Snow"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte708f11131913784/6988df954ee262533c30f2d4/rose-leslie-kit-harington-engaged.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte708f11131913784/6988df954ee262533c30f2d4/rose-leslie-kit-harington-engaged.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Rose-Leslie-Kit-Harington-Engaged","caption":"Rose Leslie and Kit Harington arrive at the premiere of HBO's 'Game Of Thrones' Season 7 at Walt Disney Concert Hall on July 12, 2017 in Los Angeles, California.","creditText":"Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/celebrities/","name":"celebrities"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4959071/kit-harington-rose-leslie-engagement-announcement/","name":"Kit Harington and Rose Leslie Confirmed Their Engagement in the Best Way Imaginable"}}]}] ```
