In an interview with Vogue Italia, Harrington stated, “Because the country is beautiful, because the Northern Lights are magical, and because it was there that I fell in love.  If you’re already attracted to someone, and then they play your love interest in the show, it’s becomes very easy to fall in love.”   Likewise, in an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, Harington stated, “I fell in love in Iceland.” And when Ross asked whom he fell in love with, Harington smiled and said, “I fell in love with my co-star” and showed a picture of Jon Snow with Ygritte in the snow in Iceland.

Co Star, Emilia Clarke, appears to be  a fan of her best friend dating Kit Harrington as expressed in this interview:

The couple shared plenty of chemistry with their character roles in “Game of Thrones”. It will be interesting to see if their real life relationship continues to grow closer and moves to the next level.
