Sophie Turner in Paris for Fashion Week earlier this yearSophie Turner has opened up about the support she received from Taylor Swift in the aftermath of her highly-publicised split from Joe Jonas.
Rumours of the celebrity couple’s shock split first emerged back in September, before they officially announced their separation days later.
While their joint statement said they had “amicably” decided to end their marriage, the custody arrangement of their two daughters – and Sophie’s parenting ability in particular – became the subject of much speculation.
Now, the former Game Of Thrones star has opened up about how pop sensation Taylor was there for her in her darkest hour.
Taylor Swift at the Grammys in FebruarySophie revealed that Taylor – who famously also dated Joe when she was 18 – offered up her New York apartment last September when she was in need of a place to stay.
The Emmy winner had initially reached out to Taylor in the hopes that the pop star might know someone renting a place, but she instead let Sophie stay at her own pad for free instead.
“Taylor was an absolute hero to me this year,” Sophie shared in a new British Vogue cover interview.
“I’ve never been more grateful to anyone than I am for her because she took my children and me, and provided us with a home and a safe space,” she said. “She really has a heart of gold.”
The pair grabbed dinner in New York in the weeks after the split, and Sophie even seemingly made a nod to Swift in her first Instagram post after the news of the divorce became public, which might have also been a subtle dig at her now-ex.
Sophie and Taylor’s renewed friendship was spotlighted again when the actor joined Taylor’s A-list encourage of celebrity guests at one of Travis Kelce’s American football games.
Sophie and Turner out for dinner in November last yearElsewhere in the new interview, Sophie described the immediate aftermath of their split as the “worst few days of my life”.
“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 shared.
She also opened up about how she “hated” being reduced to merely one of the Jonas Brothers’ wives.
