Sophie Turner says her life was on pause until she returned to the UK
Sophie Turner recently revealed to Harper’s Bazaar that she felt extremely homesick when she was living with her ex-husband, Joe Jonas. Prior to their divorce, Turner and Jonas lived in Los Angeles and Miami. However, the location as well as the politics took a toll on her.
Issues like gun violence, the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and the Uvalde school shooting reportedly had a massive impact on her mental health. As issues kept piling on, the school shooting was the incident that pushed her over, with the star deciding to leave the country for good.
In the interview, she noted that chocolate was her coping mechanism. She told the outlet, “Every city we ended up in, the first thing I’d do was find a British shop and stock up on a month’s worth of chocolate.” Moreover, she stated that returning to London not only makes her happy but also makes her feel like herself again.
While staying away from her kids causes her “absolute agony,” she wants them to see her succeed in her career and relationships. Turner noted, “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.”
She also gave a brief look into her current relationship. Sophie Turner revealed that she is “very happy” with her boyfriend Peregrine Pearson. The couple have been together since last year, with Pearson set to become the 5th Viscount of Cowdray. While talking about her boyfriend, Turner stated, “It came around very quickly. I just needed to go on a date to know how to do it again.”
