The ‘Game of Thrones’ star Sophie Turner appears to be taking a break from dating, having not been on a date for “months.”
Following the 2023 end of her marriage to Joe Jonas, Sophie was previously in a relationship with Peregrine Pearson. Currently, she is prioritizing her work and focusing on raising their two daughters, Willa, aged five, and Delphine, who is three.
In an interview with Net-a-Porter’s digital magazine Porter, she expressed her feelings about balancing motherhood and her career. “The mum guilt is there forever. I work all week and then, on the weekends, I’ll spend all day with my kids each day. But if I go out for lunch with a friend, I will run back home because my heart is sinking that I’ve left them. I mean, I haven’t seen my friends or gone on a date in weeks, months. I just sack off parts of my life sometimes. I only have the capacity for work and family right now. But I’m working on it. I’ll get there.”
At 29, she hopes her ability to work serves as inspiration for her children and that being a mother has rekindled her passion for acting.
“In order to be a great role model for them, I have to have a passion for myself. I love that they see me going out to work every day and working my a*** off… They love making up plays. I’ve got the joy and the childlikeness of it back, which is so nice. (Although) they still want to play Disney princesses, where the prince comes and kisses them on the cheek. And I’m like, ‘No, you can save the prince.’”
Sophie turns 30 next month and aspires to find “peace” in her new decade. She stated, “I just want to have some peace in my thirties. I feel like it’s been really hectic for a long time and I’m ready to not have that anymore. Just settle a bit. We’ll see if that happens.”
Despite whatever challenges lie ahead, the Steal actress is confident in her resilience. “As stressed as I am, I know I can get through it. That’s the good thing about having a relatively hard twenties: I learned that I can survive a lot. I’m like, there’s pressure, there’s stress, but I’ve been through worse. I have to remind myself that we’re very malleable and we can take on a lot more than we think we can.”
