Sophie Turner admits her acting career 'stalled' because she had children at an early age

Sophie Turner admits that her acting career "stalled" because she had children at an early age.

The 29-year-old star has daughters Willa, five, and Delphine, three, with her former husband Joe Jonas and explained that she had to regain "momentum" in her professional life as she took time out to raise her kids.

Speaking to The Guardian newspaper, Sophie said of motherhood: "It's really nice. I'm not worrying about my biological clock and all that sort of stuff.

"It just felt like the right break to focus on me, because I'd been a character for so long. Nesting and being at home was amazing. But the flipside of it, and Covid didn't help, was that this was a big break from the career.

"And I've had try and rebuild, in a way. You don't realise how important momentum is in a career, and I stalled it a bit."
