Kit Harington may be known worldwide for playing Jon Snow on Game of Thrones, but behind the fame, the actor has been open about facing personal struggles that followed the show’s success. Over the years, Kit Harington has spoken honestly about his battles with alcohol and depression and now, he is once again acknowledging the person who stood beside him through it all: his wife, Rose Leslie.

In an industry where relationships often crumble under pressure, Kit Harington and Rose Leslie’s bond has remained one of the more private yet enduring love stories.

But what truly keeps a partnership intact when things stop being picture-perfect? And what does it mean when someone chooses to stay not just for the good days, but for the hardest ones too? Kit Harrington spills.

In a recent interview with Mr. Porter, Kit Harington shared that he and Rose Leslie have built a relationship based on affection and emotional honesty. He explained that they make a conscious effort to remind each other of their love, even in everyday life.

“We’re very loving and tactile, and we make sure we tell each other that we love each other.”

He also praised Leslie’s personality, calling her genuine and rare, the kind of person who brings calm rather than chaos.

Kit Harington did not frame their relationship as perfect, but instead acknowledged that Leslie has been beside him through some challenging personal periods. He said to Mr. Porter that she has been present during the difficult journeys they’ve faced together, implying that her support has been consistent even when life wasn’t stable.

“Rose was there through all of the hard stuff,” he said.

Rather than suggesting she saved him, his comments reflected something more realistic, that her loyalty and steadiness helped him keep moving forward.

For Harington, the answer seems to lie not only in his marriage but also in the family life he has built with Leslie.

Kit Harington has previously spoken openly about how alcohol became tied to a difficult period in his life, especially during the years surrounding Game of Thrones. In a 2021 interview with The Sunday Times, he admitted that some of what he experienced was traumatic and involved drinking.

“Things that have happened to me since Thrones ended… did include alcohol,” he said.

But in his latest Mr. Porter interview, Harington revealed that fatherhood has given him a new kind of stability. The actor and Leslie share two children, a son born in 2021 and a daughter born in 2023, and he explained that becoming a parent came at exactly the right time.

He also shared how parenting helped him disconnect from the emotional heaviness of filming industry. With Leslie working on a play in Stratford, Harington took on childcare while filming in Cardiff, and he said returning home to his children instantly changed his mindset.
