Sophie Turner was moved to tears by a heartfelt birthday message from Chris Martin, her rumored new romantic interest, in a video orchestrated by her ex-husband Joe Jonas.
The actress, known for her role in Game Of Thrones, is reportedly in a relationship with Chris, 48, following her breakup with Peregrine Pearson, her boyfriend of two years. In a 2020 video from Joe’s Cup Of Joe podcast, Sophie was surprised with a birthday message from Chris, whom she recently went on a ‘secret’ date with, as per reports.
The touching moment captured Sophie’s reaction as Joe handed her his phone, revealing Chris’s message. Overwhelmed with emotion, Sophie exclaimed, “It’s Chris Martin!” upon seeing the video. Chris, from the band Coldplay, expressed his well wishes, sending love and birthday greetings to Sophie before signing off with a blown kiss.
Sophie, visibly elated, fought back tears and handed the phone back to Joe, exclaiming, “I’m not going to cry on camera.” The duo shared a happy moment, laughing and high-fiving each other in the video.
Chris had been single for a few months following his split from Dakota Johnson, 35, in June after an eight-year relationship that ended with the cancellation of their engagement. Sophie’s relationship with Peregrine seemed tumultuous, culminating in an official split after a high-society wedding in late September.
Despite their separation, Sophie and Joe, who tied the knot in 2019, share two daughters. Their divorce was finalized in September 2024, about a year after Joe initiated the process. Chris and Dakota began dating in 2017 post his divorce from Gwyneth Paltrow, with whom he shares two children, Apple and Moses.
The breakup between Chris and Dakota had been a prolonged process, with sources revealing that the couple struggled to officially end their relationship despite underlying issues. The insider detailed that while there were attempts to reconcile, the relationship eventually reached a point where they weren’t right for each other anymore.
