Sophie Turner Makes Rare Comment About Dating Life

Sophie Turner is opening up about her dating life — or lack thereof.

“I mean, I haven’t seen my friends or gone on a date in weeks, months!” Turner, 29, told Net-a-Porter’s Porter in an interview published on Monday, January 5.

She continued, “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.”

Turner, who was married to Joe Jonas from 2019 to 2023, was most recently linked to Chris Martin. (Turner and Jonas, 36, are parents to daughters Willa, 5, and Delphine, 3. Us Weekly confirmed earlier this month that Jonas has moved on with model Tatiana Gabriela, whom he started seeing “at the end of the summer.”)

Sophie Turner is sharing lessons that she’s seemingly learned with her social media followers. “Life, really, is just a series of endings and beginnings. On a loop,” read an anonymous message shared via text, which 29-year-old Turner posted to her Instagram Stories Friday, December 12. “Every up and down comes at a point in this […]

A source exclusively told Us in November 2025 that the pair have “gone out on a few dates in London. It is still very new, but they have a lot of chemistry, and there’s a definite spark between them.”

On Monday, Turner reflected on speculation about her life — including dating rumors.

“It’s a total fishbowl. And people take so much as fact these days. Any article that comes out, people go, ‘Right, that must have happened,’” she said, explaining that she struggles not being able to respond. “You feel like you’re gagged because silence is always the way to let something die out. But it means that you can’t stand up for yourself ever, so there’s a feeling of helplessness and shame.”

She continued, “I get calls from my mum going, ‘Oh my God, darling, I didn’t know this happened.’ And I’m like, ‘It might have happened, but I wasn’t ready to tell you, let alone the world…’ You just don’t have the narrative over your own story.”

Turner, who starred in Game of Thrones, added that she had a “bit of an identity crisis” when the series came to an end in 2019. With the ups and downs over the past few years, Turner explained that she learned a valuable lesson about herself.

“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,” she said. “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.”

Turner, who is turning 30 next month, explained that she’s hoping for “some peace” in her new decade.

“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,” she said with a “wry smile” and raising her eyebrows. “We’ll see if that happens.”

Turner went on to add that she has a long-term goal for herself in this new decade, saying, “I’m looking forward to knowing myself better, knowing my boundaries and [having] a little more autonomy over my own life.”
