News of Sophie Turner's divorce made the famous actress one of the most searched names on Google. So, who is Sophie Turner, how old is she, where is she from? Let's get to know our actress better...
Sophie Turner was born on February 21, 1996, in Northampton, England. She moved to Warwick with her family when she was two years old. After attending Warwick Preparatory School until the age of eleven, she attended King's High School. Turner has been a member of the theater company Playbox Theater Company since the age of thirteen.
Sophie Turner started her acting career at the age of three. Since 2011, she has played the character of Sansa Stark, an emotional and dreamy young girl from a noble family, in HBO's fantasy series Game of Thrones. Her drama teacher encouraged her for this role because she had red hair and blue eyes, which are typical of the character Sansa Stark. Also, this was her first experience as a television series.
Sophie Belinda Jonas (born 21 February 1996) is an English actress. She made her acting debut as Sansa Stark in the HBO epic fantasy television series Game of Thrones (2011–2019), for which she received a Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series in 2019.
In 2013, she starred with Jonathan Rhys Meyers in the thriller Another Me, adapted from Catherine MacPhail's novel of the same name. In March 2013, she played the character Adeline in the television movie The Thirteenth Tale and starred in the Comedy movie Barely Lethal.

Turner married Joe Jonas in 2019. The couple's first child was born on July 22, 2020.
Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner announced in a joint statement on Instagram last week that they mutually decided to end their marriage amicably. "There are many speculative rumors about the reason for the separation, but truly this is a joint decision, we sincerely hope that everyone will respect our wishes regarding our and our children's privacy," the musician and the actor shared simultaneously.
Is Jonas resorting to old Hollywood tactics?
In a summer that saw high-profile and contentious celebrity breakups such as Sofia Vergara-Joe Manganiello, Ariana Grande-Dalton Gomez, Kevin Costner-Christine Baumgartner, etc., the breakup between Jonas and Turner does not seem unusual. However, unlike others, this incident began to appear in anonymous news almost immediately. The succession of negative news about Turner before the divorce case attracted the suspicions of fans who thought Jonas and his team were resorting to old Hollywood tactics.
News disparaging Turner attracted the attention
Negative reports about Turner did not sit well with her fans, who routinely commented in the comments to declare their loyalty to the Queen of the North. For example, TMZ quoted a "source with direct knowledge" in the middle of the divorce announcement as saying that among the couple's problems, "the woman likes to party and the man likes to stay home." Fans and advocates questioned this anonymous claim by sharing past interviews and videos of Turner in which she said she was more of a homebody.
