Sophie Turner Finds Solace in the UK After Emotional Turmoil and Divorce Drama
Maya Rivers here—your self-proclaimed bard of broken hearts and second chances. I may not have a published chapbook (yet), but give me a story like Sophie Turner’s return to England after years in the U.S., and I’ll spin you a sonnet wrapped in paparazzi flashes.
Life, as we know it, is rarely linear—it loops, spirals, and sometimes crashes headfirst into a courtroom drama. For Sophie Turner, that crash came in the form of a very public divorce from Joe Jonas, followed by a quiet but decisive homecoming to London. Two years removed from American soil, the “Game of Thrones” starlet now says she never wants to live in the United States again—a sentiment forged in the fire of heartbreak, motherhood, and rediscovering her roots.
In an interview with Flaunt, Turner spoke candidly about her emotional reset since returning to the UK. “I just feel so at home here; I never want to move again,” she confessed. The actress, who once called Los Angeles home during her marriage to Jonas, admitted that living abroad made her realize how vital family and friends are to one’s well-being. “Living in the states, I didn’t appreciate how much you need friends and family and how integral they are to your wellness until you’re away from them,” she said. It’s a poetic truth, really—one that only comes after being stripped of comfort and forced to rebuild alone.
Motherhood also played a pivotal role in her transformation. Raising daughters Willa, 5, and Delphine, 3, gave Turner a new sense of purpose—and a deeper well of emotion to draw from in her acting career. “Being a mother has affected me more than I can ever say,” she told the outlet. “I can now bring so much of that into my work.”
Their divorce was finalized in September 2023, a year after their initial split. According to court documents reviewed by Fox News Digital, the couple reached a mediated agreement on spousal support, asset division, and child custody. Judge Gina Beovides confirmed the marriage was “irretrievably broken” and praised the parenting plan as being in the best interest of the children.
Their love story began innocently enough—with a DM on Instagram in 2016, engagement in 2017, and a surprise Las Vegas wedding in 2019. But what starts with confetti often ends with paperwork. Jonas filed for divorce in Florida in September 2023, citing mutual agreement. In a joint statement, the couple said, “After four wonderful years of marriage, we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage.” They asked for privacy—for themselves and their children.
That request, however, was quickly challenged when Turner sued Jonas over child custody shortly after the divorce announcement. She claimed she learned of the filing “through the media,” according to court documents. The breakdown, she alleged, happened suddenly after an argument on Jonas’ 34th birthday. Turner accused him of withholding their daughters’ passports and refusing to let them return to England. She later told British Vogue, “those were the worst few days of my life.”
Tabloids painted her as a neglectful mother while elevating Jonas as the devoted dad. On set of her project *Joan*, Turner had to endure headlines questioning her parenting while being contractually bound to stay put. “Mum guilt is so real,” she said. “I just kept having to say to myself, ‘None of this is true. You are a good mum.’”
Now back in the UK, far from the chaos, Turner seems to be writing a quieter chapter—one where she’s surrounded by the people who remind her who she truly is. And perhaps, in that stillness, she’s found something truer than fame or fairy-tale weddings: peace.
And so, the ink dries on a tale of love, loss, and letting go—set against the backdrop of Hollywood lights and tabloid storms.
