Sophie Turner Says She Never Wants To Live In The US Again After Moving Back Home To The UK

Sophie Turner has not looked back since leaving the United States two years ago.

The actress, 29, returned to London in 2023 after her four-year marriage to singer Joe Jonas came to an end.

Moving back to her home country gave her a chance to reset and start over after a difficult period in her life.

The "Game of Thrones" star says she feels truly content being back in England and made it clear she doesn’t ever want to leave again.

"I just feel so at home here; I never want to move again," Turner told Flaunt.

"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."

She went on to add, "I came back with an abundance of appreciation for them."

The "X-Men" actress also shared that becoming a mother to her daughters Willa, 5, and Delphine, 3, changed her life in more ways than she could have imagined.

"Being a mother has affected me more than I can ever say," Turner explained. "I can now bring so much of that into my work and into this film too."

Turner and Jonas finalized their divorce in September 2024, exactly one year after they separated.

The settlement included agreements on spousal support, splitting assets, and a custody arrangement for their children.

Judge Gina Beovides declared the marriage "irretrievably broken," and approved the former couple’s agreement, stating that the parenting plan was in the best interest of the children. The ruling was made official in Miami-Dade County in September.

Turner and Jonas had first crossed paths in 2016 after Jonas contacted her through Instagram. They became engaged a year later in 2017 and tied the knot in 2019 in a surprise Vegas ceremony, followed by a more formal wedding in France.

Jonas went on to file for divorce in a Florida court in September 2023, as confirmed by Fox News Digital.

"After four wonderful years of marriage, we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage," the pair wrote in a joint 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."

Not long after the announcement, Turner filed a lawsuit in New York seeking custody of their children. In the documents, she alleged that she only learned about the divorce filing "through the media"

According to court records, the marriage between Turner and Jonas fell apart "very suddenly" following "an argument" on the "Cake by the Ocean" singer’s 34th birthday.

Turner further accused Jonas of "the wrongful retention" of their daughters during that time.

She claimed that Jonas’ lawyer, Thomas J. Sasser, acknowledged that the singer refused to hand over the children’s passports or give "consent for the children to return home to England."

The actress said the media painted her as an absent mother while Jonas was celebrated as a hands-on dad. Speaking to British Vogue, she admitted "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. 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.'"
