Sophie Turner finds new love after Jonas divorce drama
She may not yet be 30, but she already has much life experience. She's been married, had two children, divorced, and has since found love again with an aristocrat who reciprocates her feelings. Sophie Turner has taken to Instagram to wish her new beloved a happy birthday.
Sophie Turner, the 28-year-old star of "Game of Thrones", shared a series of photos on Instagram to celebrate the 30th birthday of her new partner, Peregrine "Perry" Pearson. The couple officially confirmed their relationship earlier this year during a lavish ski holiday, although rumours first circulated in November when they were seen kissing in Paris.
Perry is the eldest son of Michael Pearson, the 4th Viscount Cowdray, a former film producer with an estimated fortune of over £224 million. To mark her boyfriend's birthday, Sophie posted pictures of their shared moments, captioning them: "Happy Birthday my angel pie. 30, flirty and thriving."
The photos showcase the couple in various relationship moments: kissing in a luxurious yurt, relaxing in pyjamas, and embracing at a party. Other images capture them against a hot air balloon backdrop, by the water, and in a snowy scene. The couple is also pictured enjoying themselves in a club, sharing a beer, and exchanging shy glances on the street.
The first marriage was too soon - divorce was no surprise
Joe Jonas, an American teen idol, and the then-21-year-old actress became engaged after just a year of dating. During that time, they behaved like infatuated teenagers and played house with a dog they adopted together. They then repeated the common mistakes of hasty marriages by quickly becoming parents to strengthen their bond. When things began to unravel, they decided to have another child. The eventual collapse was, predictably, unavoidable. After four years, they officially announced their separation.
A smear campaign soon erupted in the media against Sophie, attempting to paint her as a poor mother. Articles emerged claiming she was either partying or working while Joe took on the responsibility of caring for their daughters. In reality, there was an ongoing custody battle.
"I mean, those were the worst few days of my life. There were some days that I didn’t know if I was going to make it," admitted Turner. "I would call my lawyer saying, ‘I can’t do this. I just can’t.’ I was just never strong enough to stand up for myself. And then, finally, after two weeks of me being in a rut, she reminded me that it was my children I was fighting for. Once anyone says to me, ‘Do it for your kids,’ I’m doing it. I wouldn’t do it for myself, but I’ll find the strength for them."
Last month, media reports confirmed that Sophie had finalised her divorce from Jonas. Turner has long since entered a different phase of her life.
The latest production featuring the actress is a fact-based series, "Joan", available to watch on the Epic Drama channel.
