"The worst days of my life." Sophie Turner spoke out for the first time about her divorce from Joe Jonas
Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner commented for the first time on her high-profile divorce proceedings with musician Joe Jonas, during which she had to fight for her children. She spoke about this in an interview with Vogue.
Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas announced their divorce in September last year. At the same time, rumors appeared in the press that she was shirking her maternal responsibilities. Now 28, Sophie Turner says those were the "worst days of her life" and that the children were "victims" in the process: "There were days when I didn't know if I could make it. I rang my lawyer and said: ' I can not do it. I just can't." I've just never been strong enough to stand up for myself. After two weeks of being confused about myself, she reminded me that I'm fighting for my kids. If someone tells me, "Do it for the sake of my children, "I do this. I would not do this for myself, but for them I will find the strength."
At that time, Sophie Turner was in the UK filming the TV show Joan, and Joe Jonas and his two daughters, four-year-old Willa and one-year-old Delphine, were in the United States. According to Sophie Turner, according to the contract, she could not leave and had to spend another two weeks on the set. And at this time, articles began to appear in the press, which said that Sophie Turner was more interested in spending time at parties than with her own children.
In addition, photos were published of her having fun with her colleagues just days before Joe Jonas, 34, filed for divorce: “It was painful because I really suffer from every action I take as a mother It’s incredible how many people just make things up and write stuff based on photos alone. A picture can tell a thousand words, but this is not my story. It felt like I was watching a movie about my life that I didn’t write, produce, or star in. filmed. It was shocking. I'm still in shock."
In October, the couple agreed to temporary custody of their children after Sophie Turner sued her ex-husband over his attempts to stop her from taking their children from the US to the UK. She noted that she was unhappy with the way things had worked out, especially for the children, but expressed hope that they would eventually be able to reach an agreement: “Joe is a great father to our children, and that’s all I can ask for.”
Sophie Turner said the support of her friends helped her get through her divorce, including her close friend Taylor Swift: “Taylor has been my absolute hero this year. I have never been as grateful to anyone as I am to her because she took my children and me and gave us a home and a safe space. She truly has a heart of gold."
Rumors that Sophie Turner was dating Joe Jonas first appeared in 2016, and a year later they announced their engagement. They got married in 2019 and soon had two daughters in 2020 and 2022. Sophie Turner is currently dating English aristocrat Peregrine Pearson.
