Kit Harington and Rose Leslie may be "Game of Thrones" fans favorite actors-turned-couple pairing, but there's a reason why the newly engaged stars don't turn up in fan photos together.
In an interview with The Guardian, Harington revealed that his fame has made him "moody" sometimes, especially when it comes to fans requesting photos or selfies. The Guardian reports that Harington sets days where he won't take photos with anybody.
"Especially me and Rose, we never do a photo together," Harington said. "Because then it makes our relationship feel like … puppets ... like we're a walking show."
Harington and Leslie began dating in 2012 after they met on the "Game of Thrones" set and played on screen couple Jon Snow and Ygritte. Their relationship was unconfirmed until four years later when they appeared on the red carpet together for the first time.
Even after going public, Harington and Leslie have kept details of their relationship private. In May of this year, Harington told Esquire they planned to move in together but didn't elaborate, saying "it's as much her relationship as it is mine and I can't speak for both of us."
On September 27, 2017, Harington and Leslie's engagement was formally announced afters several months of speculation through unconfirmed reports. For a full history of the "Game of Thrones" couple's real-life love story, read our timeline of everything we know about their romance.
