Sophie Turner Confesses To Breaking A-List Couple’s Engagement With Her ‘Accidental Flirting’

Game of Thrones alum Sophie Turner29, recently revealed that she has a superpower—the ability to break up engagements with a wink and a wave.

She disclosed this information on the Late Night Show with Seth Meyers as they reminisced about a 2015 San Diego Comic-Con convention where they first met.

The sit down comes after she hit back at fan criticism after posting images of herself–as a single mother of two–enjoying a night on the town.

Highlights

  • Turner says a wave at Comic-Con 2015 accidentally ended an unnamed couple’s engagement.
  • She faced “mom shaming” after posting photos of herself at a concert as a single mother.
  • Turner defended herself, citing shared custody of her daughters with ex-husband Joe Jonas.

Chatting with Meyers on August 14, Turner recalled what happened at the event’s after party.

“We were going to have a great night
 and I can’t name names ’cause I’ll get in trouble,” she told her host.

“But I had brought my best friend from school days and she saw an actor she absolutely loved and asked if I could just say ‘hi’. And that was it.” Or at least that is what she thought at the time.

Later that night, she saw a woman staring and recognized her as a star she admired. Turner moved over to pay her a compliment, but did not get that far.

“So I dance on over and she goes, ‘Can you stop f****** flirting with my fiancĂ©?,’” Turner continued.

“And I was like, ‘Who’s your fiancĂ©e?’” The woman then pointed in the direction of the man she had just waved at—a man who Turner claims she did not know.

According to Turner, her little greeting had a life-changing effect on the unnamed couple that same night.

“[It] turns out, they broke their engagement off that night because of my [wave].”

“I didn’t realize I held this power,” she joked.

Turner and Joe Jonas met around the same time

Turner’s own relationship with Joe Jonas ended in 2023 when he filed for divorce.

The two started dating the year after the fateful Comic-Con fallout. They began chatting on Instagram, got engaged in 2019, married first in Las Vegas, then celebrated their nuptials again in a decadent affair in France later the same year, perPeople.

In 2023, however, the relationship took the route that so many Hollywood marriages do when Jonas filed for divorce, citing “the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken” as the reason.

Jonas and Turner share two girls–Willa, 5, and Delphine, 3–who were recently dragged into the spotlight after she posted images of herself at an Oasis concert.
