Sophie Turner is reflecting on becoming a parent in her early 20s.
“It just felt like the right break to focus on me because I’d been a character for so long,” Turner, 29, told The Guardian in a Friday, January 16, profile, referring to her acting hiatus after wrapping Game of Thrones. “Nesting and being at home was amazing,but the flip side of it,and COVID didn’t help,[that it] was … a big break from [my] career.”
Turner was 24 when she and her then-husband, Joe Jonas, welcomed daughter Willa in 2020. Turner gave birth to baby No. 2, daughter Delphine, two years later. (Jonas, 36, filed for divorce from Turner in fall 2023, which was finalized the following year.)
“I’ve had to try to rebuild, in a way,” Turner told The Guardian of her acting career postpartum. “You don’t realize how vital momentum is in a career, and I stalled it a bit.”
