Kit Haringtonis finding new things to appreciate about parenthood every day.
“I think the thing that’s surprised me most is, you know, they tell you but they don’t; everyone goes, ‘Look, it’s big. What you’re about to go through is big.’ And you have no way of knowing that until it happens,” he says. “Then what surprises you is you go, ‘Oh, this goes on forever!’ You don’t get a break from it. You’re just like … every day I wake up and look after this little human and now we’re part of a unit together.”
“You are now a unit, the three of you,” adds Harington of his family. “That’s a whole new dynamic you need to find, and pretty much find every day as he grows and changes, and how does that change you? It’s a beautiful thing, it really is.”

Harington previously shared that he was ready for fatherhood. Ahead of the May 2019 series finale ofGame of Thrones, the actor told InStyle: “The most important job I’ll ever have is about to finish. Well, not the most. Hopefully, I’ll be a father.”
He and Leslie famously portrayed star-crossed lovers Jon Snow and Ygritte on the Emmy-winning HBO seriesGame of Thronesandfirst stirred up relationship rumors in 2012. After a brief split, they reconciled and continued to fuel romance speculation until they officially confirmed the relationship in April 2016.
They got engaged in September 2017, confirming the happy news the old-fashioned (and very British) way: through a classified advert inThe Times. Less than two years later, they wed in Scotland in June 2018.
