Last year, Sophie Turner made headlines when her very public divorce from Joe Jonas defied the usual misogynistic playbook and attempts to cast Sophie as a “wayward” mother—because she’s a working parent—blew up in Joe’s face big time. It’s a rare example of misogyny and himpathy failing in the court of public opinion.
Now, Sophie is still dating English aristocrat Peregrine Pearson, they went Instagram official earlier this summer, at least by way of posting photos Peregrine took of Sophie (flip to the last slide).
Work-wise, Sophie is back at it, too. She has crime drama Joan coming, it airs in Britain next month and in October in the US. She’s also currently in London, working on Haven, a heist series for Prime Video co-starring Saltburn’s Archie Madekwe.
Actors usually pick the best roles they’re offered based on an alchemical combination of quality, money, and publicity, but Sophie Turner is headlining a crime drama and a heist series as her first work back as a newly single woman. Should we read into this? Is Sophie Turner working something out at work? Actors love to say their work is like therapy. How seriously should we take that in the context of Sophie Turner unhitching herself from a JoBro and then immediately making two crime-centric shows?
