In a heartfelt interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Sophie Turner opened up about her emotional journey following her split from Joe Jonas, describing the experience as “incredibly sad.” The Game of Thrones star shared that while she cannot divulge many details due to ongoing legal proceedings, the end of their relationship was undeniably difficult for her. “We had a beautiful relationship, and it was hard,” she reflected.

Turner, who shares two daughters with Jonas, found solace in returning to her hometown of London after several years in Los Angeles. “I was away for so long. It felt as if my life was on pause until I returned to England,” she said. Reconnecting with friends and family has been essential for her, especially as she recalled missing key moments during her time in the U.S., like pregnancy milestones with friends.

However, the actress also revealed the challenges of co-parenting, describing the pain of being away from her children as “agony.” She noted that her perspective has changed significantly since becoming a mother. “Before I had kids, I was very depressed and anxious, and I would isolate myself a lot. Now, I think I live my life for them. I want them to see me having a social life and enjoying work,” she explained.

Sophie and Joe announced their separation in September 2023, issuing a joint statement that emphasized their mutual decision to part ways amicably. “After four wonderful years of marriage, we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage. There are many speculative narratives as to why, but truly this is a united decision.”

Since the split, Turner has started a new chapter with property developer Piers Green Pearson, sharing affectionate moments on social media and referring to him as her “angel pie.” As she navigates this challenging time, Sophie remains focused on her family and personal well-being.
