May 26 (UPI) -- Kit Harington is "very, very happy" with girlfriend Rose Leslie.
The 30-year-old British actor said in the June/July issue of Esquire that he and Leslie, also 30, are taking their relationship to the next level by moving in together.
"[I'm going through a] conscious uncoupling," Harington joked of leaving roommate and writer Dan West. "He's going off with his girlfriend and I'm living with my girlfriend."
"It's as much her relationship as it is mine and I can't speak for both of us," he said of Leslie. "But yeah, we are very, very happy. So that's what I'll say about that."
Harington and Leslie were initially looking for apartments in New York, but haven't decided on a final home.
"I'm the most fickle person," the actor confessed. "Now I'm looking for a house in the English countryside; next week it will be Florida."
Harington and Leslie were first linked in 2012 after playing love interests Jon Snow and Ygritte on the HBO series Game of Thrones. The pair made their red carpet debut as a couple at the 2016 Olivier Awards.
"Kit is a lovely and funny man, and a dear friend," Leslie previously told People magazine.
Leslie portrayed Ygritte in two seasons of Game of Thrones, while Harington will return as Jon for a seventh season in July. The show released a first Season 7 trailer featuring Harington, Emilia Clarke and Lena Headey this week.
