Winter actually came for Sophie Turner in the fall of last year. But she just put on her coat and crushed it.
While the breakdown of her four-year marriage to Joe Jonas came about “very suddenly,” as the Game of Thrones alum put it in a court filing, she didn’t waste much time before embarking on her healing era.
It came about quite swiftly, in fact.
“2023 was the year of the girlies,” Turner captioned a Jan. 2 ode to the friends who were there before life took an unexpected turn and who lifted her up afterward. “2024s forecast is looking fairly consistent.”
And while the English actress, who’s turning 28 on Feb. 21, has a stalwart lineup of girlfriends to go skiing, rent chairs in Hyde Park and take selfies with, it didn’t go unnoticed that squad captain Taylor Swift stepped up for Turner in the weeks after Jonas filed for divorce Sept. 5.
The pair went out to dinner together in New York multiple times—their rotating cast of supporting players including Selena Gomez, Blake Lively and Brittany Mahomes—while Turner was also among the VIPs who joined Swift at the Jets vs. Chiefs game at MetLife Stadium on Oct. 1.

They temporarily resolved matters in October, the exes stating the children would “spend time equally in loving homes in both the U.S. and the U.K,” and in January Turner dropped a lawsuit she had filed in the matter after they agreed on a plan moving forward.
Aside from the occasional cryptic Instagram post and a few logistical details included in court documents, Turner and Jonas have put up a united front when it comes to keeping their post-split parenting world private.
While Turner was quick to publicly compliment Jonas on his birthday (When he turned 30 in 2019, Turner called him “my love and the best thing that’s ever happened to me”) or Father’s Day (“Joe you are the best baby daddy,” she wrote in 2021, “it’s my greatest joy to watch”), she’s easily the more reserved of the two. And when Diplo—not realizing he was witnessing real nuptials, not least because they were in Las Vegas—livestreamed their May 1, 2019 wedding, it was apparent that he did not get the bride’s permission first.
