Sophie Turner has revealed the real reason she left the US amid her divorce with ex- husband Joe Jonas in a new tell-all interview.
The Game Of Thrones star, 28, has given a rare insight into her rollercoaster year and touched upon homesickness and motherhood as she graced the cover of Harper’s Bazaar’s December and January issue.
Sophie, who is set to receive the coveted Performance Award at the Harper’s Bazaar Women of the Year Awards 2024, finalised her divorce with Joe, 35, in September, a little over a year after the singer filed for separation. They married in 2019.
The proceedings were delayed by intense conflict with the two in regards to the custody agreements for their children, daughters Willa, four, and Delphine, two.
Before the breakdown of their marriage, Sophie, who hails from Northampton, and her ex-husband Joe, 35, had been living in America with their two daughters but she was desperate to move back to the UK.
WHY SHE MOVED TO UK
Lifting the lid on the homesickness she felt, the Joan star said: ‘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…
Sophie revealed gun violence and changes to laws in the US were a key motivator in her wanting to return home.
She continued: ‘The gun violence, Roe v Wade being overturned… Everything just kind of piled on.’
In June 2022, America’s top court overturned the 1973 Roe v Wade ruling which had guaranteed women the right to an abortion up until the point of fetal viability, which is about 24 weeks.
WHO IS SOPHIE TURNER DATING NOW?
Since moving back to the UK, Sophie has found success not only in her career with the drama Joan, but also in her personal life, moving on with aristocrat Peregrine Pearson.
