This House of the Dragon couple has “the healthiest relationship in all of Westeros”
“Jacaerys and Baela Targaryen are truly in love!” Actor Harry Collett deciphers for Première the romance between Rhaenyra’s eldest son and Daemon Targaryen’s daughter.
They are both cousins, and both half-brother and half-sister… And yet, they are also engaged to each other! The love story between Jacaerys and Baela is twisted to say the least, but it remains no less sincere.
In episode 2 of season 2 of House of the Dragon, we discover that Rhaenyra’s eldest son, heir to the Iron Throne if she wins her war, maintains a truly sentimental relationship with Daemon’s daughter. And for good reason, according to Harry Colletttheir complicity is not feigned:
“They are always there for each other. They are experiencing the same pain, the same grief, after Luke’s death,” analyzes for Première the interpreter of Prince Jacaerys Velaryon.
“To me, they have the healthiest relationship in all of Westeros. We know there is something between them, ever since they held hands. In my opinion, they are sincerely in love with each other. other. Not just because they are obligated or forced to each other during a banquet.
The actress Bethany Antonia nods: “You don’t see this kind of relationship often in Westeros.“, she emphasizes for Première. The one who has played Lady Baela since season 1 admits that he is “nice to play this couple who have been on the same wavelength since their earliest childhood. They were friends growing up and that friendship blossomed into something more as they got older. In season 2, we see them evolve together, as a duo, even within the council of Team Black. They speak with one voice and we will see what will change for them later…“
Season 2 of House of the Dragon will continue on Max in France next Monday.
