Sophie Turner has expressed her desire to remain in the UK for the foreseeable future following her split from pop star Joe Jonas. The 29-year-old actress, who shares two daughters—Willa, aged five, and Delphine, aged three—with Jonas, returned to her homeland after their marriage ended earlier in 2024. She stated, “I just feel so at home here; I never want to move again,” highlighting her deep connection to her roots.
Turner, who lived in the United States during her marriage, emphasized the importance of being near friends and family. In an interview with Flaunt, she reflected on her time away, stating, “Living in the States, I didn’t appreciate how much you need friends and family and how integral they are to your wellness until you’re away from them.” Her return has allowed her to reconnect with her support system, which she now values even more.
Turner Draws on Personal Experience for New Role
In her latest film, Trust, Turner portrays an actress who retreats to a remote cabin following a scandal. The role resonates with her personal experiences, providing an opportunity to channel her real-life emotions into her performance. She expressed her gratitude for being part of a project that reflects themes she has personally encountered. “I feel lucky to have worked on something that comments on so much that I have been personally affected by,” she noted.
Motherhood has also profoundly influenced Turner’s life and work. She remarked, “Being a mother has affected me more than I can ever say. I can now bring so much of that into my work and into this film too.” This connection to her children adds depth to her performances and enriches her storytelling.
Filming Trust proved to be a uniquely therapeutic experience for Turner. At the time of production, she was navigating the emotional challenges of her divorce from Jonas, which lasted from 2019 to 2024. She described her time on set as “super cathartic.” During a recent appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, she candidly shared, “I’m not sure if anyone’s aware, but when I started shooting this movie, I was going through, like, a media hell.”
Turner found solace in immersing herself in the film’s narrative, saying, “This was super cathartic because I wanted to run away in my real life when that was all happening. But I got to do it in a movie and I got to smash some s*** up, so that was fun.” This blend of personal turmoil and creative expression provided her with a unique outlet during a challenging period.
As Turner establishes her new chapter in the UK, her commitment to her homeland and her artistic endeavors remains steadfast. With a supportive network of family and friends and a growing film career, she appears ready to embrace this next phase of her life.
