Sophie Turner Gives A Dating Life Update Amid Chris Martin Rumors
She’s focusing on “work and family” for now.
Sophie Turner’s still single. Despite rumors of a new celebrity romance is brewing in the U.K. between Turner and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, the Game of Thrones actor gave a dating life update in January, confirming that she’s not in a relationship.
“I haven’t seen my friends or gone on a date in weeks, months!” she told Net-A-Porter in a Jan. 5 interview. “I just sack off parts of my life sometimes. I only have the capacity for work and family right now. But I’m working on it. I’ll get there.”
Turner’s comment on her love life comes after months of rumors surrounding her and Martin. After some dating speculation at the end of October, more details about Turner and Martin’s courtship was revealed by an Us Weekly source in a Nov. 3 report. “They have gone out on a few dates in London,” the insider said. “It is still very new, but they have a lot of chemistry, and there’s a definite spark between them.”
Reports of this potential connection started a little over a month after Turner’s breakup with British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson, and about five months after Martin split with his longtime partner Dakota Johnson (who is now rumored to be seeing Role Model). Both celebs have also experienced very high-profile divorces, with Turner’s divorce from Joe Jonas becoming a media sensation in 2023, and Martin ending his marriage with Gwyneth Paltrow in 2015.
The Us Weekly source acknowledged that Turner and Martin weren’t exactly strangers when they started dating, noting they “met years ago in passing” due to “mutual friends in the music industry.” This is likely referencing when Martin sent Turner a loving birthday video message back in 2020, which was aired on her ex-husband Jonas’ Quibi series Cup of Joe. After watching the surprise clip, Turner could barely contain her excitement, emotionally saying, “I’m not going to cry on camera.”
“Sophie has always admired Chris and was a big fan of both him and his music long before they ever met,” the source said. “She’s even joked that she used to have a bit of a crush on him, so it’s funny and surreal that they actually connected in a romantic way in real life ... They have a lot in common, and Chris is definitely her type. They have bonded over being British and their love for music.”
