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.”

Saudi Film Commission Participates in 78th Cannes Film Festival

The Saudi Film Commission is participating in the 78th Cannes Film Festival in France from May 13 to 24 with a Saudi pavilion and an official delegation alongside key partners, including the Ministry of Investment, Film AlUla, NEOM, the Cultural Development Fund, MBC Studios, the King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture (Ithra), and the Red Sea International Film Festival.

Established in 1946, the Cannes Film Festival is one of the world’s most prestigious cinematic events, attracting broad international participation from filmmakers each year.

The Saudi pavilion will feature a booth for private production and distribution companies to boost their international presence and highlight opportunities for collaboration and investment.

The commission will engage in several panel discussions and dialogue sessions featuring leading decision-makers and influencers in the film industry. They will include a session titled "Pioneering Paths: How Filmmakers Can Forge Their Own Futures" and "Saudi Films – Work in Progress," which will showcase films currently in production.

A roundtable titled "The Business of Film Production" will also discuss the economic aspects of the film industry.

A networking session titled "Meet Saudi Creatives" and a brunch event titled "Cinematic Exchange" will bring together commission representatives and the private sector to highlight major accomplishments in the local film sector and explore opportunities for collaboration.

This strategic participation is part of the Saudi Film Commission’s ongoing efforts to develop the local film sector, empower Saudi talent, and build an effective network of relationships that support the Saudi film movement and represent it on major global platforms.
