It is not yet known what the baby’s name is or when he was born.

Leslie, who played Ygritte on the HBO series, announced in September that she and Harington (AKA Jon Snow), were expecting their first child in a cover story for the UK’s Make Magazine.

She told the publication she was enjoying spending quality time with her husband in their Tudor manor in East Anglia amid the pandemic.

“It’s incredibly old. We have a thatched roof, which currently has an enormous hornet’s nest in it. I do love to think about the house and all the people who have lived there,” she said.

“Were they happy, how did they live? All the families passing under those ancient beams.

“What a glorious thing to be able to run to the countryside and recoup. It’s a great privilege to be surrounded by greenery, birdsong and hedgerows, and our delightful neighbours. It’s so peaceful.”
