New York, Oct 31, (V7N) - As Sophie Turner approaches the finalization of her divorce from Joe Jonas, the "Game of Thrones" star is looking ahead and embracing new chapters in her life.

In a candid interview with Harper's Bazaar U.K., published Wednesday, the 28-year-old actress reflected on the emotional toll of her year-long, high-profile separation. "I'm going through a legal process right now where I can't really say much, but it was incredibly sad. We had a beautiful relationship, and it was hard," she shared.

Turner’s divorce was officially finalized in Florida on September 6, nearly a year after Jonas filed for dissolution due to an "irretrievably broken" marriage. While the specifics of their split remain private, the couple has reached a shared custody agreement for their two daughters, Willa, 4, and Delphine, 2, ensuring they spend equal time in both the U.S. and the U.K.

Reflecting on her recent move back to the U.K., Turner expressed relief and happiness. “I’m so happy to be back. It felt as if my life was on pause until I returned to England," she said. After spending six years in the U.S., she longed for the familiarity of home and the experiences missed with friends during her absence.

The actress also mentioned that social issues, including gun violence and the overturning of Roe v. Wade, contributed to her desire to return to her homeland.

Amidst the challenges of her divorce, Turner found solace in her work, particularly in her upcoming psychological thriller, Trust. She described the role as "cathartic," allowing her to channel her emotions into a character navigating a scandalous situation.

Turner shared her feelings about parenting, describing the pain of being away from her daughters as "absolute agony." Staying at a friend’s home during these times helps her cope. She emphasized how motherhood has transformed her, inspiring her to live for her children and show them a hardworking, thriving version of herself.

In a nod to her journey, Turner noted the importance of instilling healthy body image values in her children, drawing from her own experiences growing up in the spotlight.

On the personal front, Turner has been linked to British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson, and the two appear to be enjoying their relationship. She described their connection as effortless, stating, “It came around very quickly. I just needed to go on a date to know how to do it again.”

Celebrating Pearson's 30th birthday recently, she expressed her affection through an 11-slide Instagram post, and later addressed critics in the comments, urging kindness and positivity.

Turner’s journey reflects resilience and growth as she navigates life after divorce, finding joy in her work, her relationships, and her role as a mother.
