In September 2023, Sophie Turner clarified comments she made regarding the challenges of being a single mother, which were misinterpreted by the media. The actress, known for her role in 'Game of Thrones,' stated that her remarks were about her character, Joan Hannington, in the upcoming ITV series 'Joan,' rather than her personal experience. Turner emphasized that she is fortunate to have support in her life, unlike many single mothers. She expressed admiration for those who manage parenting alone. Following her recent divorce from Joe Jonas, finalized on September 10, 2023, Turner has been navigating her new life as a single mother to two daughters, Willa and Delphine. The couple, who were married for four years, announced their split amicably, requesting privacy for themselves and their children. Turner has also been seen dating again, mentioning that she is enjoying the experience after marrying young. The role of Joan, a notorious diamond thief, allows Turner to explore a glamorous character, contrasting with her personal life. The series promises to showcase the complexities of motherhood and the lengths a parent will go to for their child, reflecting Turner’s own insights as a mother. As she prepares for this new role, Turner balances her professional commitments with her responsibilities as a parent, highlighting the duality of her life as both an actress and a mother.
