Sophie Turner revealed in a new interview that she wasn’t quite ready for motherhood when she found out she was expecting her first child, Willa, at just 24 years old.
“Maybe because I was so young, I sat on it for a week,” the “Game of Thrones” alum, now 28, told British Vogue for her June 2024 cover story, published Wednesday.
“Thankfully there were therapists there to help me talk things through.”

Turner — who on a retreat in Bali when she learned she was pregnant — said she told her now-estranged husband, Joe Jonas, how she was feeling as soon as she got back from the trip.
“I remember throwing the pregnancy test at him, saying, ‘What do you think we should do? Do you think we should have it?’” she recalled. “When you’re in your early 20s, life is so frivolous.”
Turner admitted she “didn’t know” if she “wanted to be a mother,” but after discussing it with Jonas, now 34, “something changed” in her.
“I just knew I had to have her,” the “Dark Phoenix” star said.
Pvnew has reached out to Jonas’ rep for comment on his estranged wife’s revelation but did not immediately hear back.
Turner gave birth to Willa July 2020, and reps for her and Jonas told Pvnew at the time that the couple was “delighted to announce the birth of their baby.”
The “X-Men: Apocalypse” actress and the Jonas Brothers member decided to welcome a second child, Delphine, two years later.
“Because my ex and I travel so much, I wanted Willa to have a sibling,” she explained to British Vogue.
“I wanted them to have each other. They’re so much fun, total girlie girls and absolute rays of sunshine in my life.”
In September 2023, Jonas filed for divorce from Turner after four years of marriage, forcing the exes to embark on a custody battle.
The mother of two fought to take her children with her back to England, but the “S.O.S.” singer argued that the kids should remain with him in New York City.
After going through mediation, Turner and Jonas were able to reach a temporary custody agreement.
“After a productive and successful mediation, we have agreed that the children will spend time equally in loving homes in both the US and the UK,” the pair said in a statement to Pvnew in October 2023.
“We look forward to being great co-parents.”
As for the divorce, the “Do Revenge” star and the “Cake by the Ocean” singer have been unable to finalize it thus far.
Turner asked a judge in March to reactivate the filing so that they can negotiate a settlement.
The “Survive” star spoke to British Vogue about how difficult the split was for her and how her children ultimately were the ones who helped her pull through.
“There were some days that I didn’t know if I was going to make it. I would call my lawyer saying, ‘I can’t do this. I just can’t,'” she said.
“I was just never strong enough to stand up for myself. And then, finally, after two weeks of me being in a rut, she reminded me that it was my children I was fighting for.”
Turner concluded, “once anyone says to me, ‘Do it for your kids,’ I’m doing it. I wouldn’t do it for myself, but I’ll find the strength for them.”
