British actress Sophie Turner, known for her role in “Game of Thrones,” recently opened up about the challenges of balancing her career, motherhood, and personal life, admitting she hasn’t had a date in months. The 29-year-old shared her struggles with the fashion platform “net-a-porter.com.”
“Sometimes I just neglect parts of my life,” Turner explained. “At the moment I only have capacity for work and family.But I’m working on it.” Turner shares two daughters with US musician Joe Jonas, whom she divorced in 2024. The divorce,finalized after months of speculation,stemmed from irreconcilable differences,with reports citing differing lifestyles and career demands as contributing factors. Turner filed for divorce in September 2023,initiating a custody battle over their two daughters.
The actress expressed a deep sense of guilt regarding her daughters, stating, “A mother’s guilty concious lasts forever.” She described a routine of working throughout the week and dedicating her weekends entirely to her children. “But when I go out to lunch with a friend, I run back home as my heart is heavy that I left her alone.” This sentiment highlights the intense emotional toll the divorce and demanding work schedule have taken on Turner, as she strives to balance her professional commitments with her role as a mother.
Turner first gained widespread recognition for her portrayal of Sansa Stark in the acclaimed fantasy series “Game of Thrones.” She is now starring in the upcoming thriller series “Steal,” where she plays an office worker caught in the midst of a robbery. The series is set to premiere on Amazon Prime on January 21st. “Steal” represents Turner’s latest venture into diversifying her acting roles,moving beyond the fantasy genre that initially brought her fame.
