In March, Harington chatted with Entertainment Tonight ahead of the premiere of his Apple TV+ series, Extrapolations, where he said his 2-year-old son is "about to get the shock of his life," when they bring home his new sibling.

"I don't know if he's really conceptually understood anything yet," Harington said of his son knowing what's ahead.

"He's just loving life. My boy loves life," the proud dad beamed. "He charges around, and I think he's going to be a great older brother. It's just really exciting."

PEOPLE confirmed in February 2021 that Harington and Leslie, who wed in 2018, had welcomed their first baby, a son. They initially confirmed their pregnancy in September 2020 after Leslie debuted her baby bump for U.K.'s Make Magazine.

When asked on The Tonight Show what his son thinks of a newborn entering the family, Harington revealed that he doesn't think his child has "quite conceptually understood it just yet."

"We're trying to get him ready for it," he continued. "We point to Rose's tummy and we say, 'Mommy's baby, mommy's baby.' And he points to his tummy and goes, 'My baby.' I'm quite sure that's — yeah, you'll know soon enough."

He and Leslie famously portrayed star-crossed lovers Jon Snow and Ygritte on the Emmy-winning HBO series and first 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.
