Our favorite "Game of Thrones" couple might be set to marry in real life. The Sun and People Magazine are reporting that Kit Harington and Rose Leslie, who played Jon Snow and Ygritte on the HBO series, are engaged.
Harington and Leslie began dating in 2012 shortly after meeting on the set of "Game of Thrones." The couple has kept their on-and-off relationship very private for years before finally going public in 2016.
Harington's representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Here's the history of their non-fictional love story:
July 2011: Harington and Leslie presumably met for the first time when the second season of "Game of Thrones" began filming.
On season two, Jon Snow ventures beyond the Wall and meets Ygritte, a member a group called the Free Folk. He eventually lives among them as a spy for the Night's Watch, but he falls in love with Ygritte along the way.
August 2012: Rumors began flying about a blossoming off-screen romance between Harington and Leslie when TMZ published photos of the couple holding hands.

They were spotted on a date in a restaurant and the "Game of Thrones" fandom basically exploded.
September 2012 to January 2013: The two stars film season three of "Game of Thrones," including the fictional couple's steamy love scene.
This was the season when Ygritte and Jon Snow became romantically involved. Years later, Harington would admit that he fell in love with Leslie during the months they spent filming in Iceland.
