On November 3, Us Weekly reported that Sophie Turner and Chris Martin “went on a few dates” in London after their recent breakup. A source told the outlet that the pair first met through mutual friends many years ago and have since bonded over their British roots and love of music. The new romance comes after Martin split from Dakota Johnson and Turner split from Peregrine Pearson earlier this year.
Chris Martin and Sophie Turner appear to be exploring a new relationship. On November 3, Us Weekly confirmed that the Coldplay singer and Game of Thrones actress are dating, with a source saying: “The pair went on a few dates in London.”
The romance comes shortly after both stars went through breakups earlier this year. In June, People magazine confirmed that Martin and actress Dakota Johnson had split after nearly eight years together. Meanwhile, Turner split from British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson in September over “personality conflicts,” a source told Us Weekly. Before that, she was married to Joe Jonas for five years. The former couple finalized their divorce in 2024 and have two daughters, Willa, 5, and Delphine, 3.
Martin has two children, Apple, 21, and Moses, 19, with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow. The pair famously announced their “conscious uncoupling” in 2014, but have maintained a close friendship and co-parenting relationship.
Turner and Martin have not publicly commented on their reported romance, but their recent outings suggest their relationship is deepening. In the coming days, everything we know about their budding relationship will be revealed.

Turner and Martin first sparked romance rumors in late October. Around this time, an old video of Turner, who was married to Jonas, fangirling over the musician resurfaced. This excerpt is taken from Jonas’ 2020 Quibi travel show, Cup of Joe, and shows the host surprising Martin’s then-wife with a video celebrating his birthday. “On behalf of myself and the handsome members of the band, I hope you’re having the best day,” Martin said at the time. “I send you all my love and hope you are having a great time.”

A source revealed details about Turner and Martin’s romance to Us Weekly, saying: “It’s early days, but they have great chemistry and there’s definitely a spark between them.”
Sources say the pair first met through mutual friends in the music industry many years ago, when Turner and Jonas were still married. A source said that Turner and Martin’s early relationship was “always friendly”, adding: “Sophie has always respected Chris and was a big fan of him and his music long before they met. She even joked that she had a bit of a crush on him before, so it’s funny and surreal that they became romantically involved in real life.”
The two stars “have a lot in common and Chris is definitely her type,” the source continued. “They have bonded over their Britishness and their love of music.”
