Sophie Turner's fans have rallied behind the star after she recently got mom-shamed for enjoying a vacation with her friends and her new man.

Taking to Instagram earlier this week, Turner, 27, shared some snapshots from her winter vacation showing her enjoying some quality time with some close friends, as well as her new boyfriend, Peregrine Pearson.

The carousel ran through a total of six photos, with most of them showing the Game of Thrones star smiling alongside her friends all dressed in snow gear while they skied.

Others also showed Turner parting before enjoying some relaxation time at what seemed like a spa with an amazing view of the snowy mountains.

While the photos were undoubtedly amazing, the comment section was not as trolls took this as their chance to leave nasty remarks to "mom-shame" Turner.

"The kids will look back at these pictures fondly," wrote one user, while another questioned: "Where are your kids?"

A third even had the audacity to state: "Be a mom," like going on vacation immediately changes the fact that Turner is a mom of two.

Thankfully though, fans jumped in to defend their favorite actress.

"I'm so confused on why people are asking where her children are. She’s never posted her children, yet it was never a question of where they were before her divorce. Why is it in question now?" asked one user.

"You guys realize as a woman that we have an identity outside of having our children right? A woman is more than a just a mother. Let her move on," added another.

And a third pointed out the double standards in the comments: "Okay so I just came from scrolling through Joe’s photo comments, and very surprisingly NO ONE is asking about his kids... so weird. I wonder whyy..."

Have a look at the post below:

Turner shares daughters Willa and Delphine with her former husband, Joe Jonas.

The news comes months after it was announced that the popular couple would be calling it quits after four years of marriage.

Taking to Instagram on September 6, Turner shared a joint statement in which she revealed that the pair would be going their separate ways.

"Statement from the two of us: After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage," the statement read. "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."

While Jonas also shared the same message, he elaborated on the difficulties of going through a public breakup during a concert in Los Angeles at the Dodger Stadium just a week later.

Right before singing the group's song 'Hesitate' from their 2019 album Happiness Begins, which was allegedly inspired by Turner, an emotional Jonas told fans: "It's been a crazy week.

"I just want to say, if you don't hear it from these lips, don't believe it. Okay?" The musician - who was not wearing his wedding ring that night - continued: "Thank you, everyone, for the love and support to me and my family. I love you guys."

The 34-year-old singer initially filed for a dissolution of marriage claiming that "the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken," according to documents obtained by PEOPLE Magazine.

Both parties have since moved on with Jonas spending some quality time with model Stormi Bree and Turner being romantically linked with British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson.
