Sophie Turner and Perry Pearson Are ‘In Love’ After Joe Jonas Divorce
Home is where Sophie Turner’s heart is. In a new interview with Harper’s Bazaar, the Joan star, 28, opened up about moving back across the pond to England after her “incredibly sad” split from ex-husband Joe Jonas. “I’m so happy to be back,” she gushed. “It felt as if my life was on pause until I returned to England. I just never really feel like myself when I’m not in London, with my friends and family. I was away for so long — six years — and it was when my friends were getting engaged, and when I got pregnant.”
Sophie shares two young children, daughters Willa, 4, and Delphine, 2, with the Jonas Brothers singer, 35. “[Becoming a mother] changed me in every way. Before I had kids, I was very depressed and anxious, and I would isolate [myself] a lot,” said the actress. “Now, I think I live my life for them. I want them to see me having a social life and enjoying work and thriving in my career and relationships.”
Platonic relationships and romantic ones! Last year, Sophie was spotted sharing a passionate smooch with British aristocrat Peregrine “Perry” Pearson on the streets of Paris — and the couple have been going strong ever since. Less than a month ago, on October 27, the Game of Thrones alum wished her “angel pie” boyfriend a happy 30th birthday on Instagram. “They’re in love,” a source exclusively tells Life & Style about the couple.
Sophie and Perry were first romantically linked in October 2023 when they were spotted packing on the PDA during an outing in France. “They arrived together at the chauffeur pick-up location outside of the station. It looked like they might have both come on the Eurostar from London,” an eyewitness told The Sun at the time. “They stood there for a few minutes and were chatting and laughing a lot.”
After the pair were spotted on several other outings together, Sophie made their romance Instagram official in January by sharing several photos from a ski trip that they took with friends.
While Joe filed for divorce from Sophie in September 2023 after four years of marriage, an additional insider exclusively told Life & Style that the “Waffle House” singer wasn’t taking his ex’s new romance well. “Joe’s trying to act all macho and is saying he totally doesn’t care that Sophie’s with Peregrine now — but he absolutely cares. It’s humiliating she’s bounced back so fast and he’s still single,” the source revealed in October.
“It’s hard enough without her flaunting this relationship,” the insider continued. “He feels like she’s purposely rubbing it in his face.”
The source added that many people in Sophie’s inner circle, “especially Joe,” assumed that her romance with Perry would “be a quick fling.”
“But they’ve now been together nearly a year and are very serious,” the insider said. “She’s saying she’s so much happier dating a Brit, that Peregrine is a better match for her than Joe ever was. It’s clear to everyone this is not a rebound romance. It’s the real deal — and Joe’s burning with jealousy!”
