Sophie Turner Details “Incredibly Sad” Divorce From Joe Jonas

Sophie Turner is focusing on the positives.

One month after the Game of Thrones alum and ex Joe Jonas finalized their divorce, she shared more insight into the seemingly abrupt end of their four-year marriage in September 2023.

"I'm going through a legal process right now where I can't really say much, but it was incredibly sad," Sophie told Harper's Bazaar in an interview published Oct. 30. "We had a beautiful relationship, and it was hard."

But following her breakup with the Jonas Brothers member—with whom she shares daughters Willa, 3, and Delphine, 2—she found comfort in being back in the U.K. after years abroad.

"I'm so happy to be back," Sophie, who previously lived in Los Angeles and Miami with Joe, explained. "It felt as if my life was on pause until I returned to England. I just never really feel like myself when I'm not in London, with my friends and family."

"I was away for so long—six years—and it was when my friends were getting engaged, and when I got pregnant," she continued. "I went for dinner with someone the other day, and she said, 'I never got to touch your belly.' We didn't have those key experiences with each other."

Still, it hasn't always been easy to adjust to her new chapter as the 28-year-old noted that being home without her daughters when they're with their dad, per their custody agreement, is "agony."

"Before I had kids, I was very depressed and anxious, and I would isolate [myself] a lot," she reflected. "Now, I think I live my life for them. I want them to see me having a social life and enjoying work and thriving in my career and relationships. I want them to see a hard-working mum."

But for the Joan actress—who is now dating real estate developer Peregrine Pearson—maintaining an amicable relationship with the "Work It Out" singer has been a priority for their family.

"I'm unhappy with the way everything played out, especially when it comes to my children," she told British Vogue in May. "They're the victims in all of this. But I think we're doing the best we can. I'm confident that we can figure it out. Joe is a great father to our children and that's all that I can ask for."

She also hopes that in the future, they can repair their relationship for Willa and Delphine's sake.

"My dream is to have a huge Christmas where my daughters can have their dad there, Joe's whole side of the family, their grandparents," she added. "I don't care about the politics, I just want the girls to feel loved and have everyone show up for them."

Just weeks after Sophie Turner confirmed her split from Joe Jonas after four years of marriage in September 2023, the Game of Thrones alum shook her breakup off with a girls night out alongside pal Taylor Swift in New York City.

After the former couple filed for divorce, their legal battle became thorny, with the Do Revenge actress filing a lawsuit against the musician over their two kids Willa Jonas, 3, and Delphine Jonas, 22 months, to be returned to England. (Joe’s rep slammed the suit as “misleading.”) However, the pair reached a temporary agreement that October.

Later that month, Sophie signaled that perhaps a new relationship was coming—and moved on to a new chapter in her personal life.

In fact, the 28-year-old began dating British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson, with whom she was photographed engaging in PDA during a Paris trip.

Ready to embrace a new year with a new lease on life, Sophie declared in January 2024 that the previous year was “the year of girlies,” adding that the forecast for the year ahead instead “is looking fairly consistent."

And now, the mom of two is looking forward to looking ahead and leaving the past behind. 

"I'm unhappy with the way everything played out, especially when it comes to my children," she told British Vogue in May 2024. "They're the victims in all of this. But I think we're doing the best we can. I'm confident that we can figure it out. Joe is a great father to our children and that's all that I can ask for."
