Sophie Turner has opened up about the emotional challenges she faced during her divorce from Joe Jonas, emphasizing that the split significantly affected her life in ways that she is only now beginning to fully process. In an intimate interview with *Harper’s Bazaar UK*, the actress reflected on her tumultuous journey, describing how she felt her life was effectively "on pause" while she navigated the complexities of their separation in the United States.
Turner candidly admitted, “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.” Her heartfelt words underscore the gravity of the situation, revealing that the end of her marriage was a painful chapter filled with both sadness and reflection. She further explained how being away from London and her support network made her feel increasingly disconnected from herself. "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," she shared, expressing the deep longing she experienced while living in the U.S. The emotional toll was amplified by the timing, as she was away for six years during a period when many of her friends were experiencing major life milestones, such as engagements, while she herself was navigating the complexities of motherhood.
Sophie and Joe tied the knot in May 2019 in a spontaneous Las Vegas ceremony, later celebrating with a more formal wedding in France that June. Their marriage was marked by joy and companionship, but it ultimately faced significant challenges that led Sophie to file for divorce in September 2023. The divorce proceedings were complicated by a custody battle for their children, but the couple eventually reached an agreement for shared custody, finalizing the divorce last month. After their separation, Sophie made the decision to return to London, seeking the comfort of her roots, her family, and the friends who had always supported her through thick and thin.
In a more positive turn, Sophie has found love again with British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson, whom she began dating towards the end of last year. Expressing her happiness about this new chapter in her life, Turner revealed, "It came around very quickly. I just needed to go on a date to know how to do it again. That was the first date and the last date, and it’s been great.” She described Pearson as "lovely" and "funny," noting that he has a remarkable ability to bring out her playful side. "He lights me back up," she said, indicating how his presence has positively influenced her mood and outlook on life. Their relationship became public earlier this month, highlighted by a heartfelt post-Sophie shared on social media to celebrate Peregrine's 30th birthday on October 27. The post was filled with affection and joy, showcasing how Sophie has embraced this new romance with open arms.
Turner's reflections on her divorce and subsequent new relationship reveal a journey of resilience, growth, and the pursuit of happiness after a difficult chapter in her life. As she continues to navigate her personal life and career, fans and followers are rooting for her as she embraces new beginnings in both love and life. The narrative of her journey resonates with many who have faced similar challenges, making her story one of hope and renewal. Through it all, Sophie Turner demonstrates that even after heartbreak, it is possible to find joy and fulfillment once again, and she looks forward to the adventures that lie ahead.
