Sophie Turner and Chris Martin are sparking romance rumors after reportedly going on a secret date in London, just days after both stars ended their respective relationships.
According to the Daily Mail, the Game of Thrones actress, 29, and the Coldplay frontman, 48, spent an evening together in early October, only a week after Turner’s on-again, off-again relationship with British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson came to an end.
Sophie Turner’s relationship with Peregrine Pearson ends
Turner and Pearson, 30, had been romantically linked since October 2023, shortly after her highly publicized divorce from Joe Jonas. The pair’s relationship appeared to have been full of ups and downs, with multiple reports of breakups and reconciliations.
Their final split reportedly came after the two attended a high-society wedding in late September, where onlookers claimed they were “bickering and arguing between feverish snogs on the dance floor.”
A week later, the Daily Mail reported that Turner was seen out with Martin, suggesting a possible new connection. Representatives for both stars have not commented on the rumors.
Coldplay frontman's split from Dakota Johnson
Chris Martin, who famously fronts the Grammy-winning band Coldplay, also recently became single. He and actress Dakota Johnson ended their relationship in June after nearly eight years together, per Yahoo.
Before dating Johnson, Martin was married to actress and wellness entrepreneur Gwyneth Paltrow. The former couple (who popularized relationship expert Katherine Woodward Thomas' term “conscious uncoupling” when they separated in 2014) share two children: Apple, 21, and Moses, 19.
Sophie Turner’s personal life after Joe Jonas divorce
Turner, best known for her role as Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones, has been navigating life as a single mom following her 2023 split from musician Joe Jonas, Cosmopolitan detailed. The former couple, who were married for four years, share two daughters: Willa, 5, and Delphine, 3.
Since the separation, Turner has been spending more time in the U.K., often spotted at social events and festivals, including Glastonbury, where she and Pearson appeared affectionate earlier this summer before their latest breakup.
Turner is a longtime Coldplay fan
Interestingly, Turner has been a fan of Martin’s music for years. Back in 2020, her then-husband Joe Jonas surprised her with a personalized birthday message from the Yellow singer on his series Cup of Joe on the now-defunct streaming platform, Quibi.
“This is Chris from Coldplay,” Martin said in the clip. “I wanted to say on behalf of me and the even more handsome members of our band, have the best day and I’m sending you all my love.”
Turner’s shocked and emotional reaction to the message quickly went viral at the time, with the actress exclaiming, “It’s Chris Martin!” and fighting back tears as she thanked Jonas for the sweet gesture.
While neither Turner nor Martin has confirmed whether their rumored outing was romantic, fans have already taken to social media to share their surprise — and curiosity — about the unexpected pairing.
