Rose Leslie never wants to say Ygritte’s Game of Thrones catch phrase to husband Kit Harington again
By Dan Selcke
Kit Harington and Rose Leslie have had a charmed romance. They met on the set of Game of Thrones, him playing Jon Snow, a brooding man of the Night’s Watch, and her playing Ygritte, a passionate free woman. They fell in love just as their characters did, and eventually married each other with all their cast mates present. Their relationship is inextricably tied up with the show, whether they like it or not.
"[No spoilers] And their happy ending has just begun… from gameofthrones"
It seems like Leslie, at least, likes to keep some aspects of their onscreen relationship at arm’s length. Harington gave us some insight into the couple’s private life during a recent appearance on the Today show, where host Keir Simmons brought up Ygritte’s famous catch phrase: “You know nothing, Jon Snow.”
“It’s the kind of thing my wife would say to me after many years of marriage,” Simmons jokes. “[Y]ou made the smart move of marrying somebody who already said that to you.” Harington’s reply:
"She already said that and doesn’t ever want to say that to me again."
Okay, but is “For the Watch” off limits?

Harington has been talking a lot about his relationship with Leslie of late, revealing on the KISS Breakfast radio show that she wouldn’t talk to him for three days after he revealed the ending of Game of Thrones to her. “And she’d asked!” he remembered.
And we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention that Harington was actually on the Today show to promote How To Train Your Dragon 3, which Harington calls the “family friendly version of Game of Thrones.” You can judge for yourself when it hits theaters February 22.
