In early 2017, Harington moved in with Leslie and mentioned her as his “best friend.” On The Late Late Show, Harington gushed, “I’ve moved in with my best friend, Rose. So, I’m very, very happy, and it’s going well.
She has all sorts of ideas for the house … I said to her, because she moved into my house, ‘Look, darling, this is important that it’s our space, that it feels like our space, that you haven’t just moved into mine. Move anything you want around — change anything, chuck anything out.”
A year after moving in together, Harington and Leslie tied the knot in Scotland.
