Sophie Turner has openly stated that being a single mother is a’struggle’ following her divorce from Joe Jonas.
The Game of Thrones actress, 28, spoke in a new interview ahead of her new six-part crime thriller Joan, which premieres on Sunday night. She plays the real-life Joan ‘The Godmother’ Hannington.
Sophie and her estranged husband Joe, 35, of the Jonas Brothers, completed their year-long divorce on September 11, according to reports.
The proceedings were delayed due to heated fighting between the two over custody agreements for their daughters, Willa, four, and Delphine, two.
Sophie went Instagram official with her boyfriend, aristocrat Peregrine Pearson, last Monday, delighting fans. She married Joe in 2019.
On her new role as mother Joan, Sophie told The Sunday Times Culture Magazine: ‘Joan changed me quite a lot. From utter desperation comes so much will and ambition.
‘The series came around at a time in my life where I had to be ambitious and I had to have such strong will and fight against the forces. She gave me a lot of strength.
‘If I hadn’t been a mother, I don’t know if I would have been able to bring the same energy that I did into it. It’s such a struggle being a single mother.’
