Actors Rose Leslie and Kit Harington have welcomed their second child.

A publicist for Harington confirmed Monday that the couple, who famously met on the set of “Game of Thrones” and are now both 36, have added a daughter to their family. Further details weren't immediately available.

In early 2021, the pair confirmed the birth of a son.

Harington and Leslie's relationship began in 2011 on the set of the HBO megahit series, on which they played star-crossed lovers Jon Snow — a brother of the Night's Watch with kingdom-shattering secrets — and Ygritte, a rebel wildling. They married in 2018 at Leslie's ancestral castle in Scotland.

Since leaving “Game of Thrones” in 2014, Leslie has starred in the legal drama “The Good Fight,” sci-fi romance series “The Time Traveler's Wife” and the Kenneth Branagh-directed Agatha Christie remake “Death on the Nile.” Since “Game of Thrones” concluded in 2019, Harington has had roles in the anthology shows “Modern Love” and “Extrapolations” and in Marvel's “Eternals.”

Robert De Niro will receive an honorary Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, a culmination for the 81-year-old actor whose history with the French film festival stretches back half a century.
In 1976, De Niro starred in two films — Martin Scorsese's “Taxi Driver” and Bernardo Bertolucci's “1900" — that premiered in competition at Cannes. “Taxi Driver" was an immediate sensation, and went home with the festival's top prize, the Palme d'Or.
Since then, De Niro has been a regular on the Croisette, returning with “The King of Comedy” in 1983, Sergio Leone's “Once Upon a Time in America” in 1984 and Roland Joffé's “The Mission” in 1986. Joffé's film also won the Palme, making De Niro the rare actor to star in two Palme d'Or winners, The Associated Press said.
Though De Niro helps run his own film festival back in New York, the Tribeca Festival, he has remained a mainstay in Cannes. He presided over the jury in 2011 that selected Terrence Malick's “The Tree of Life” for the Palme. Most recently, he and Scorsese returned to premiere “Killers of the Flower Moon” in 2023.
“I have such close feelings for Festival de Cannes," De Niro said when his honorary Palme d'Or was announced last month. “Especially now when there’s so much in the world pulling us apart, Cannes brings us together — storytellers, filmmakers, fans, and friends. It’s like coming home.”
De Niro is to receive the award in the festival's opening ceremony on May 13.
