Looks like there’s a new couple in the spotlight, and fans are already buzzing. According to multiple reports, Sophie Turner and Chris Martin are officially dating. The "Game of Thrones" alum, 29, and the Coldplay frontman, 48, have reportedly been quietly seeing each other for a little while now.
A source told Us Weekly on November 3 that the pair “have gone on a few private dates” and are taking things slow but enjoying each other’s company. Reps for both stars have yet to comment, but the rumor mill is already in full swing.
The timing of this budding romance is interesting for both Sophie and Chris. Just five months before news of their connection surfaced, Chris ended his long-term relationship with actress Dakota Johnson. The two had been together for nearly eight years and were rumored to be engaged before calling it quits earlier this year.
Neither has publicly spoken about the breakup, but Dakota offered a glimpse into her mindset in June during an appearance on Today, saying she’s just looking for “not an a--hole” in a partner. Sounds like she’s setting a pretty healthy bar for her next chapter.
Meanwhile, Sophie has been navigating a fresh start. Following her 2024 divorce from Joe Jonas after five years of marriage, the "Dark Phoenix" star has been focused on co-parenting their daughters, Willa, 5, and Delphine, 3.
Sophie’s Focus on Family and Balance
Despite the public attention surrounding her split from Joe, Sophie has remained refreshingly grounded. Speaking to British Vogue earlier this year, she reflected on how they’ve managed to find their rhythm as co-parents. “I think we’re doing the best we can,” she said. “Joe is a great father to our children and that’s all that I can ask for.”
Joe has shared equally kind words, calling their co-parenting dynamic “beautiful” during his On Purpose Live Tour chat with Jay Shetty in May. “Having an incredible mom, Sophie, for those girls is like a dream come true,” he said, adding that he hopes their daughters grow up “open-minded, confident, and kind.”
It’s clear both parents are prioritizing love, respect, and stability for their kids—something that seems to have shaped Sophie’s outlook moving forward.
From Heartbreak to Harmony
Before her rumored connection with Chris, Sophie was briefly linked to British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson in late 2023. The relationship fizzled quietly, but it was her first public step back into dating after her divorce. Now, her chemistry with Chris Martin marks a new era.
Chris, a father of two himself—Apple, 21, and Moses, 19, with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow—has always kept his personal life relatively under wraps. Both he and Sophie are seasoned pros at managing fame while protecting their families, so their discretion isn’t surprising.
