Sophie Turner Rips Trolls Who Mom Shamed Her During Joe Jonas Split
Sophie Turner has hit back at trolls who shamed her mother during her divorce from Joe Jonas.
RadarOnline.com can provide the Game of Thrones star opened up about the setbacks during her divorce from the pop star – and the real reason she returned to England without her two young daughters, Willa and Delphine, whom she shares with Jonas.
After four years of marriage, Jonas, 35, filed for divorce from Turner, 28, in September 2023.
A few weeks after Jonas filed for divorce, Turner filed legal papers claiming that the boy band member was “unlawfully keeping their children in New York City” and stating that she wanted her daughters to be “returned” to her in England.
Turner was working on a project in her native England at the time – and felt faint because she didn’t have her young daughters with her. Insiders reportedly claimed that she agreed “with some hesitation” to let her daughters stay with their father in the US due to her “very intense” filming schedule.
During an interview with Harper’s BazaarTurner discussed her divorce and the backlash she received for remaining in Britain without her daughters.
Turner admitted that the split was “incredibly sad,” before adding, “We had a beautiful relationship, and it was hard.”
Despite the brutal split, the mum-of-two said she was ‘so happy to be back home’. ‘It felt like my life was on pause until I returned to England.’
She then wrote down the “key experiences” she missed to share with her friends and family in England, including her pregnancies and her friends’ engagements.
Since her first divorce from Jonas, the actress has remained in London, staying with a friend to avoid being home alone while her daughter stays with the singer in the US.
She admitted the situation was “definitely painful” as she talked about how motherhood “has changed me so much in every way.”
Turner said: ‘Before I had children I was very depressed and anxious and isolated [myself] a lot of. Now I think I live my life for them.”
As for the critics who “shamed” her for being in England away from her children, the actress pushed back and shared that it was important for her to set an example for her young daughters.
In the wake of her divorce, Turner has started dating Peregrine Pearson, who is about to become the 5th Viscount of Cowdray.
Of her new relationship, Turner said she and Pearson are “very happy.”
She further revealed how they became an item, saying, “It came around really quickly. I just had to go on a date to know how to do it again. That was the first date and the last date, and it was amazing.
“He’s sweet. He’s funny, and he brings out the cheeky side of me, the fun side. He lifts my spirits.”
