Kit and Rose welcome second child

Kit had revealed that he and Rose were expecting their second child in February during his appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

Now, according to a report by Page Six, the Game of Thrones alums have welcomed their second baby. “They’re delighted to have welcomed a little girl into the family,” said the actor’s representative.

Kit on becoming a father for the second time

Earlier, the Emmy nominee had revealed that he was terrified of becoming a father for the second time. He said to Jimmy Fallon, “You know, with the first baby, you’re like walking on clouds and dancing through fields of daisies for nine months — well, the man is, anyway. But this time, the reality check comes much shorter. You get practical real quick.”

Meanwhile, no new details about the upcoming Jon Snow spinoff series that was announced earlier last year has been out yet. Kit played fan favourite Jon Snow on Game of Thrones (2011-19), the hugely popular fantasy series that aired on HBO. Kit also appeared in Eternals and the feature Baby Ruby. Rose was last seen in the feature film Death on the Nile and also headlined the HBO series The Time Traveler’s Wife.
