In a recent interview with ‘Harper’s Bazaar UK’, Game of Thrones actor Sophie Turner opened up about her emotional journey following her split from Joe Jonas. The couple, who married in May 2019, ended their four-year relationship this September when Turner filed for divorce. Reflecting on the breakup, Turner shared, “I’m going through a legal process right now where I can’t really say much, but it was incredibly sad. We had a beautiful relationship, and it was hard.”

The pair held two wedding ceremonies, a private Las Vegas chapel celebration attended by close family members, including Jonas’ brothers and their spouses, and a more elaborate wedding in France in June 2019. Together, they welcomed two children. After the split, a custody dispute arose, but both parties eventually settled on a shared custody arrangement finalized last month.

Turner described her relocation to the US during the marriage, but she has since returned to London, where she feels a stronger sense of self and connection. “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 reflected on her time away from her roots.

Since her return, Turner has started dating British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson, the son of Michael Pearson, the 4th Viscount Cowdray. Pearson, a London-based property developer, and Turner recently made their relationship public with a heartfelt Instagram post celebrating his 30th birthday on October 27.
