Sophie Turner recently posted a cryptic and contemplative message about endings and new beginnings on her Instagram story. The post caused speculation among her fans as they wondered what she might be hinting at.

The actress finalized her divorce from celebrity singer Joe Jonas and has since then entered new relationships. Sophie shared a WhatsApp message screenshot which read:

“Life, really, is just a series of endings and beginnings. On a loop. Every up and down comes at a point in this cycle. Perhaps embracing the start of something new must be balanced with accepting the reality of something coming to an end.”

The message continued:

“The sooner we realize this—and welcome it—the better we process our experiences, and we see life is working for us, not against us. Adversity (emotional, physical or psychological) brings strength of character for the next challenge.”

The text concluded on a light note, promising new beginnings and joy at the end.

“As you feel the heaviness of an ending, remember that the joy of a new beginning is just around the corner.”

Sophie Turner shared this message at a point when it looked like the Game of Thrones alum might be ushering in a new era of change herself.


Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas’ divorce explored

Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas went their separate ways in 2023, four years after they got married. The former couple share two children, daughters Willa and Delphine. According to reports, the stars were involved in a tense custody battle in 2023. However, the legal battle was resolved the following year.

While speaking to British Vogue in 2024, Sophie Turner revealed that she was not happy with how the divorce process played out. She felt her children were out in the spotlight when they were the victims of the separation.

Turner told the publication that she and Joe were doing their best to be there for them, describing the singer as a great father to their kids. The Game of Thrones star was also confident in figuring out the best thing for her children.

During the promotion of her new movie, Trust, the actress stated that she went through ‘media hell’ during her divorce.

“I'm not sure if anyone's aware, but when I started shooting this movie, I was going through, like, a media hell.”

Adding:

“So this was super cathartic because I wanted to run away in my real life when that was all happening. But I got to do it in a movie and I got to smash some sh*t up, so that was fun.”

Joe also had something good to say about his ex-wife in a 2025 appearance on Jay Shetty's On Purpose Live Tour.

“As young girls, looking up to great women is what I want for them. Having an incredible mom, Sophie, for those girls is like a dream come true.”
