GOT stars Kit Harington, Rose Leslie engaged

London Sep 27 (IANS) "Game of Thrones" stars Kit Harington and Rose Leslie who played onscreen lovers in the show are now engaged.

A source confirmed to people.com that they are officially a couple now.

The actors first stirred up relationship rumors in 2012 in sync with their fictional "Game of Thrones" counterparts Jon Snow and Ygritte.

Though they reportedly split after a year they later reconciled and continued to fuel romance speculation until they officially confirmed the relationship in April 2016 making their red carpet debut as a couple at the Olivier Awards in here.
