Kit Harington, famous for his role in Game of Thrones, says despite the show’s famous line about winter, his marriage to Rose Leslie is strong and happy.
The actor, known for his role in Game of Thrones, recently shared details about his almost eight-year marriage to a former colleague, explaining that he felt an instant connection when they met in 2011.
In a January 30th interview with Mr. Porter, Kit shared that Rose and he are very affectionate with each other. He described their relationship as loving and physically close, emphasizing that they frequently express their love verbally.
Okay, seriously, he said it again! My absolute FAVORITE person, 39 years old and perfect, just described his wife – the mother of his adorable kids, by the way – as “the most genuine soul.” I mean, can he be any more perfect? It just confirms everything I already knew – they’re soulmates! I’m not crying, you’re crying!
He acknowledged how fortunate he was, saying, “I truly am a very lucky person.” He also expressed gratitude for Rose, who supported him through difficult times and shared many experiences with him, adding that everything ultimately fell into place.
Oh my gosh, watching Kit play Sir Henry in Industry was just… incredible. Knowing he’s been so honest about his own struggles with alcohol made it even more powerful. He understood that role, you could just feel it, and he knew it wouldn’t be easy to portray such a complex arc. I was completely captivated, honestly!
Kit explained that he and Rose anticipated a demanding period. Rose, who was performing in Stratford, offered to handle the children while he filmed in Cardiff. He said that after returning from work – often unsure of what had even happened while he was away – he’d always find the kids waiting for him at home.
And having that touchstone, Kit explained, kept him from any potential spiral.
He explained that any stress or negativity from his day would simply disappear. It was a strange but wonderful feeling – he could come home and fully focus on being a dad.
Kit struggled with alcohol for years and was initially hesitant about getting help, even in 2019. However, he now firmly believes his path to sobriety has been worthwhile, stating simply, “My life is better like this.”
Kit felt like things finally started going well for him after rehab, and he and Rose had a son the next year.
You know, looking back, everything really did align perfectly. I’d made some key decisions, and then things just… flowed. It’s funny, because that’s exactly what I was told would happen if I followed my gut. Honestly, I feel incredibly lucky that my children came into my life when they did – it was just the right moment for me.
Kit and Rose aren’t the only celebrities who found love while working on a movie. Here are some other couples who met on set…
Ryan Gosling has a history of dating co-stars, including Sandra Bullock and Rachel McAdams. He met his current partner, Eva Mendes, while filming The Place Beyond the Pines. Since starting their relationship in 2013, they’ve successfully kept it out of the public eye.
The couple now have two daughters, Esmeralda and Amada. Mendes has shared how being with the Notebook star altered her views on becoming a mother.
The designer for New York & Company shared on Sydney’s Nova 96.9 radio station in October 2020 that she worked incredibly hard for two decades. She hadn’t planned on having children until she met her husband, Ryan. She then had her first child at age 40 and her second at 42, allowing her to first establish her career and then shift her focus to raising a family.
And she’s not ruling out a future on-screen collaboration with Gosling.
She told TopMob News that she thoroughly enjoyed working with Ryan and would jump at the chance to do so again. She especially loved being on set during his directorial projects, describing the experience as creatively fulfilling and praising his talent as a director.
The singers first became a couple in November 2015 after meeting on the set of The Voice, and they’ve been together ever since.
Shelton and Stefani have both said they first connected because they were going through divorces, but their relationship quickly became something more serious and long-lasting.
Blake Shelton recently told Billboard how he quickly fell in love with Gwen Stefani, and how they both supported each other through difficult divorces. He explained, “Gwen saved my life. She was the only one who truly understood what I was going through, having also gone through a very public divorce from a fellow musician.”
Blake Shelton proposed to Gwen Stefani after dating for five years, and they married in a small, private ceremony in July 2021.
Carson Daly, who performed the wedding ceremony, described the wedding as a beautiful mix of country charm and elegance.
He described their relationship as having the same qualities as Gwen and Blake themselves: sophisticated and cool like Gwen, and relaxed and fun like Blake. He said they simply complement each other, an unexpected but perfect match—like pairing fried chicken with champagne. It seems odd at first, but it surprisingly works! They offer a comforting yet classy vibe, and people naturally want to see them succeed.
The couple first connected in 1995 while acting as a romantic pair on the soap opera All My Children. A year later, on May 1, 1996, they surprised everyone by secretly getting married in Las Vegas.
Mark Consuelos quickly realized Kelly Ripa was the one for him. He told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live that when they first started dating, they’d go out with groups of coworkers, but each time, the group would shrink until it was just the two of them. Consuelos admitted he was shy and didn’t make bold moves.
But Ripa revealed the couple almost split before their wedding.
She shared that they briefly broke up, then reconciled just before impulsively deciding to get married in Las Vegas. “Yeah, we eloped,” she explained on the Comments By Celebs podcast in 2018.
After almost thirty years of marriage and raising three children, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are still happily together. Now, they’ve come full circle and are co-hosting the show Live together.
Megan Fox immediately felt a deep connection with Machine Gun Kelly (Colson Baker) when they met on a movie set in 2020, believing their relationship would be incredibly special and unlike anything she’d experienced before.
In a July 2020 podcast conversation with director Randall Emmett and his then-fiancée Lala Kent, Megan Fox remembered asking who would be replacing someone on the set of Midnight in the Switchgrass. Emmett told her they’d cast Machine Gun Kelly, and Fox immediately had a bad feeling. She explained she sensed something unpredictable would happen as a result of meeting him, though she didn’t know what it would be. She just had a strong intuition about it.
Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green, who share three children, quietly separated in late 2019. Later, Fox described Machine Gun Kelly as her “twin flame,” meaning their connection was even deeper than that of soul mates.
Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly weren’t afraid to publicly display their affection. They collaborated on a music video, got matching tattoos celebrating their relationship, and first appeared together as a couple on the red carpet. They announced their engagement in January 2022.
Although they are no longer together, they had a daughter, Saga Blade Fox-Baker, in March 2025 and continue to raise her together.
MGK praised Megan as a fantastic mother during a June 2025 appearance on Today, saying she was doing an amazing job and that he couldn’t be happier.
Kit Harington, much like his character Jon Snow, fell in love with Rose Leslie, his co-star on Game of Thrones. He shared that filming scenes with her, after she joined the show in its second season, was his most cherished experience from the series, as he told Vogue Italia.
He explained that he fell in love with the country because of its beauty and the enchanting Northern Lights. He also added that when you’re already drawn to someone and then act as their love interest, it naturally leads to falling in love.
Despite their characters not ending up together on screen, Kit Harington and Rose Leslie got married in June 2018 and now have two children, though they haven’t revealed their names.
Okay, so you will NOT believe this! Macaulay Culkin – yes, the Macaulay Culkin from Home Alone – and Brenda Song, a total Disney Channel icon, actually met on the set of this movie called Changeland. And get this, they fell in love! Seriously, it was a total shock to everyone, even the director, Seth Green! He told Esquire he had absolutely no idea they’d end up together. I mean, Home Alone and Disney? Who saw that coming?! It’s just…amazing.
Song told Entertainment Tonight that she and the other person quickly connected because they both grew up as child actors. She explained, “It’s like we just understand each other with a look.”
Engaged since 2022, the couple have two children: Dakota Song Culkin and Carson Song Culkin.

For this couple, work and romance blend seamlessly. Shahi shared with TopMob News that collaborating with her boyfriend is something she truly enjoys, describing him as one of her favorite people to act with.
She described how natural and effortless it was with him. Simply looking at him made her job almost entirely done.

Goodwin later told Kelly Ripa that she knew she’d marry her husband, Josh, after taking him to Disneyland for the very first time early in their relationship.

At the Zurich Film Festival in September 2020, director Victor Kossakovsky announced that Joaquin Phoenix and his partner had a baby boy. They named him River, likely as a tribute to Joaquin’s brother, River Phoenix, who died in 1993 at the age of 23.
