Why Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner never wants to live in US again

Sophie Turner has confessed that she never wants to move back to the US after relocating to the UK following her bitter split from Joe Jonas.

The Game of Thrones star moved back to London in 2023 after the end of her four-year marriage to the Jonas brother.

At the time of their break-up, Turner and Jonas listed their New York City condo for $US6 million ($A9.2 million), Realtor reports.

Speaking to Flaunt, the 29-year-old actress said she couldn’t be happier to restart life in her native England, admitting she never wants to leave again.

“I just feel so at home here; I never want to move again,” she told the outlet.

“Living in the States, I didn’t appreciate how much you need friends and family and how integral they are to your wellness until you’re away from them.

“I came back with an abundance of appreciation for them.”

The X-Men alum noted becoming a mum to Willa, 5, and Delphine, 3, had a positive impact on her career.

“Being a mother has affected me more than I can ever say,” Turner told the outlet.

“I can now bring so much of that into my work and into this film too.”

Turner and Jonas finalised their divorce in September, one year after they announced their split.

The former couple reached an agreement through moderated negotiations about spousal support, splitting their assets and custody of their two children.

Judge Gina Beovides declared the marriage was “irretrievably broken” and that their agreement was in the best interest of their children.

The Miami-Dade County judge approved the agreement in September, 2024.

Jonas and Turner met in 2016 after the Cake by the Ocean hit maker reached out to the actress via an Instagram DM.

They got engaged just a year later and said “I do” during an impromptu Vegas wedding in 2019.

The romance came to an end in September 2023 when Jonas filed for divorce in a Florida court.

“After four wonderful years of marriage, we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage,” they shared in a statement at the time.

“There are many speculative narratives as to why, but truly this is a united decision, and we sincerely hope that everyone can respect our wishes for privacy for us and our children.”

Following the divorce announcement, Turner sued Jonas in a New York court over the custody of their children, claiming that she learned of the split “through their media”.

Turner then accused Jonas of “the wrongful retention” of their daughters for numerous days.

She said Jonas’ lawyer, Thomas J. Sasser, noted that he wouldn’t hand over his children’s passports or “consent for the children to return home to England”.

Turner sought help from friend Taylor Swift, who allowed the actress to stay in her Tribeca apartment during the rough patch.

Turner recalled being portrayed as a bad mum in the tabloids, while Jonas was praised as an attentive father to their daughters.

She revealed to British Vogue: “Those were the worst few days of my life.”

“I remember I was on set. I was contracted to be on set for another two weeks, so I couldn’t leave,” she said.

“My kids were in the States and I couldn’t get to them because I had to finish Joan. And all these articles started coming out.

“It hurt because I really do completely torture myself over every move I make as a mother — mum guilt is so real.

“I just kept having to say to myself, ‘None of this is true. You are a good mum and you’ve never been a partier’,” she said.

According to reports, Jonas and Turner’s marriage came to an end “very suddenly” following “an argument” on the singer’s 34th birthday.

Turner then sought out help from none other than Taylor Swift, who allowed the actress to stay in her Tribeca apartment during the rough patch.

Turner told British Vogue that Swift gave her an invaluable gift in her time of need: “A home and a safe space.”

Swift “really has a heart of gold,” she added.
