It’s been about one month since Sophie Turner finalized her divorce from Joe Jonas.
But it may take a lot longer than that for the actress to come to terms with what happened in her love life.
“I’m going through a legal process right now where I can’t really say much, but it was incredibly sad,” the Game of Thrones star told Harper’s Bazaar in an interview published October 30. “We had a beautiful relationship, and it was hard.”
Turner and Jonas share a three-year old daughter named Willa and a two-year old daughter named Delphine.
The singer filed to split from Turner in September 2023, with subsequent rumors alleging that Turner was an irresponsible mother who cared more about partying than parenthood.
At one point, the actress even filed a lawsuit against her estranged husband, claiming last year that Jonas was basically hogging the kids… refusing to bring them to Turner in her native country of England.
“I’m so happy to be back,” Turner said in this new interview of residing in the United Kingdom, after having previously lived in Los Angeles and Miami with her spouse.
“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 continued:
“I was away for so long — six years — and it was when my friends were getting engaged, and when I got pregnant.
“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.”
This said, the 28-year-old admitted that being home without her daughters when they’re with their dad, based on their custody agreement, is “agony.”
“Before I had kids, I was very depressed and anxious, and I would isolate [myself] a lot,” she told the magazine. “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.”
Turner is now dating Peregrine Pearson.
She dreams of a big family Christmas someday and says she and her ex are trying to remain amicable, telling British Vogue in May:
“I’m unhappy with the way everything played out, especially when it comes to my children.
“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.”
