Sophie Turner had fans buzzing this week after sharing a story so unexpected it almost sounds like a plot twist from one of her shows.
The Game of Thrones star, 29, claimed she inadvertently caused a celebrity couple to call off their engagement after a brief encounter at a Hollywood party.
Turner revealed all during a playful appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, showing her quick wit and candid personality.
The Comic-Con Mix-Up That Went Too Far
Turner and Meyers reminisced about first meeting more than a decade ago at San Diego Comic-Con.
The conversation quickly turned to an afterparty where she admitted things “went south” in a big way.
She recounted bringing her best friend from school, who wanted her to greet a favorite actor.
Turner waved from across the room, never expecting it would spark drama.
But the night didn’t end there. Sophie remembered seeing a famous actress glaring at her, confronting her about “flirting” with her fiancé—the very actor Turner had only waved at.
“Turns out, they broke their engagement off that night because of my [wave],” she said with laughter, adding, “I didn’t realize I held this power.”
Standing Up as a Single Mom
This jaw-dropping confession comes shortly after Turner clapped back at online trolls criticizing her for being a single mom.
On August 4, she shared concert photos online, which prompted one follower to comment, “I think she has forgotten that she has two kids.”
Turner’s response was sharp, reminding critics about shared custody and defending her right to enjoy life while co-parenting her daughters Willa, five, and Delphine, three, with ex-husband Joe Jonas.
Fans rushed to her defense, pointing out the double standard between mothers and fathers in similar situations.
Turner’s confidence and humor resonated with her audience, reinforcing her reputation for being unapologetically authentic.
Navigating Co-Parenting with Joe Jonas
Turner and Jonas finalized their co-parenting agreement in October 2023 after a public split the previous year.
Despite past tensions, Jonas has praised Turner for her parenting.
In a TikTok interview, he highlighted their “beautiful co-parenting relationship” and emphasized the importance of strong female role models for their daughters.
Both Turner and Jonas have maintained focus on their careers while raising their children.
Turner, balancing film roles like X-Men: Dark Phoenix and her ITV drama Joan, continues to take on demanding projects, while Jonas tours globally with the Jonas Brothers.
From High-Profile Romance to Life Apart
Turner and Jonas’ relationship began in 2016, leading to a proposal in 2017 and a Vegas elopement in 2019, followed by a lavish wedding in France.
Their high-profile status kept fans engaged, but the couple ultimately parted ways in 2023, finalizing their divorce in 2024.
Through it all, Turner has remained candid about the challenges of parenting and public scrutiny.
She has spoken openly about the emotional strain of her split, recalling moments of intense “mom guilt” while balancing work commitments and raising her daughters.
Sophie Turner Shows Humor and Strength
Despite the ups and downs, Turner continues to navigate life with humor and honesty, whether recounting a Hollywood mishap or defending her role as a mother.
Her recent revelations remind fans that even celebrities face awkward, chaotic, and laugh-out-loud moments—sometimes with unintended consequences that make headlines.
