Sophie Turner Reveals Part of America She Misses After Moving to U.K.
Joe Jonas Gives Rare Coparenting with Sophie Turner Update
Sophie Turner misses that vitamin D lifestyle.
Since moving back to the U.K. in 2023 following her split from Joe Jonas—with whom she shares kids Willa, 6, and Delphine, 4—the Game of Thrones alum admitted she’s much happier in her home country, except for just one thing.
“No, I don’t miss living in America,” Turner told The Sunday Morning Herald in an interview published Aug. 9. “I do miss the sun, but that’s it.”
In fact, the 30-year-old was delighted to be once again surrounded by all her favorites from home like “sarcasm, baked beans on toast, Jaffa Cakes and British chocolate.”
“The thing that I missed the most was pub culture,” she added, “especially in spring, when the pubs are rammed and people are spilling out onto the streets and it is all so joyful. I love that gathering of people.”
“New York has it, of course,” Turner explained, “but when I lived in L.A., you’d have to drive everywhere. I missed just wandering down the street and seeing a bunch of people chatting at the pub. To me, that’s England.”
And being back in London helped her work through some of the isolation she felt while living in America, as did her acting roles.
“It is like a catharsis,” Turner said. “I need to do it creatively to process what’s been going on in my life, and to expel something from me.”

In addition to moving countries, the Tomb Raider star is also glad to be saying goodbye to her 20s, which saw her and Jonas file for divorce in September 2023 before their shared custody agreement and split were finalized in 2024.
“All my best friends are my age and we went to school together and we’re having a year of 30th birthdays—we’re just so happy to be out of the mess of our 20s,” Turner added. “Each of us has had a mini breakdown but we all feel really positive now. I was very ready to leave that decade of my life behind.”

Moving On
Later that month, Sophie signaled that perhaps a new relationship was coming—and moved on to a new chapter in her personal life.
In fact, she began dating British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson, with whom she was photographed engaging in PDA during a Paris trip.

Ready to embrace a new year with a new lease on life, Sophie declared in January 2024 that the previous year was “the year of girlies,” adding that the forecast for the year ahead instead “is looking fairly consistent."

Another Me
By Spring 2024, the mom of two had left her drama with Joe behind.
"I'm unhappy with the way everything played out, especially when it comes to my children," she told British Vogue in May 2024. "They're the victims in all of this. But I think we're doing the best we can. I'm confident that we can figure it out. Joe is a great father to our children and that's all that I can ask for."

Friendly Exes
In September 2024, Sophie and Joe finalized their divorce.
Joe later shared that he and Sophie have become friendly, developing a "beautiful co-parenting relationship" for their daughters.
“As young girls, looking up to great women is what I want for them,” the Jonas Brothers singer during a May 2025 appearance on Jay Shetty's On Purpose Live Tour in Hollywood, Fla. "Having an incredible mom, Sophie, for those girls is like a dream come true."
