Actress Sophie Turner admits it’s a ‘struggle’ being a single mother amid Joe Jonas divorce
British actress Sophie Turner has opened up about the challenges of being a single mother following her divorce from singer Joe Jonas.
The 28-year-old Game of Thrones star shared this during a recent interview, which is set to air a new six-part crime series titled “Joan,” where she will be portraying the real-life Joan “The Godmother” Hannington.
Earlier this month, Sophie and her ex-husband Joe Jonas, 35, of the Jonas Brothers, finalized their year-long divorce.
The proceedings were delayed by intense conflict with the two in regards to the custody agreements for their children, daughters Willa, four, and Delphine, two.
On her new role as mother Joan, Sophie told The Sunday Times Culture Magazine: ‘Joan changed me quite a lot. From utter desperation comes so much will and ambition.
‘The series came around at a time in my life where I had to be ambitious and I had to have such strong will and fight against the forces. She gave me a lot of strength.
‘If I hadn’t been a mother, I don’t know if I would have been able to bring the same energy that I did into it. It’s such a struggle being a single mother.’
Turner and Jonas, who have two daughters, tied the knot in May 2019 in Las Vegas following the Billboard Music Awards.
After four years of marriage and two kids, Jonas filed for a dissolution of marriage from Turner on Sept. 5, 2023.
According to papers obtained by the Associated Press news agency, Jonas filed for divorce in Florida’s Miami-Dade County Court citing the marriage being “irretrievably broken”.
Meanwhile, Sophie recently went Instagram official with her boyfriend, aristocrat Peregrine Pearson.
