Sophie Turner: My life was on pause until I returned to England
'Game of Thrones' star Sophie Turner has admitted she felt like her "life was on pause" until she moved back to her native UK after spending years living in the US - revealing she doesn't feel like herself when she's away from home.
Sophie Turner felt like her "life was on pause" until she moved back to her native UK.
The 'Game of Thrones' star spent years living in the US, but returned home following the breakdown of her marriage to singer Joe Jonas - the father of her two daughters Willa, four and Delphine, two - and she has revealed she didn't feel like herself when she was in the States.
She told Harper's Bazaar magazine: "Every city we ended up in, the first thing I’d do was find a British shop and stock up on a month’s worth of chocolate ...
"[In America] the gun violence, Roe v Wade being overturned … everything just kind of piled on. I’m so happy to be back [in the UK].
"It felt as if my life was on pause until I returned to England.
"I just never really feel like myself when I’m not in London, with my friends and family. I was away for so long – six years ... "
Sophie, 28, went on to explain she missed out on a lot of "key experiences" with her friends and family while she was away, adding: "It was when my friends were getting engaged, and when I got pregnant.
"I went for dinner with someone the other day, and she said, ‘I never got to touch your belly.’ We didn’t have those key experiences with each other."
Sophie and Joe married in 2019 but split in 2023 and their divorce turned ugly as they rowed over custody of their kids.
The actress is now dating Peregrine Pearson.
