    Sophie Turner hasn't been on a date for "months"

    The former Game of Thrones star - who was in a relationship with Peregrine Pearson following the 2023 breakdown of her marriage to Joe Jonas - is too focused on work and raising her and her ex-husband's daughters Willa, five, and three-year-old Delphine, to spend time with anyone else at the moment.


    She told Net-a-Porter's digital magazine Porter: "The mum guilt is there forever.

    "I work all week and then, on the weekends, I'll spend all day with my kids each day. But if I go out for lunch with a friend, I will run back home because my heart is sinking that I've left them.

    "I mean, I haven't seen my friends or gone on a date in weeks, months I just sack off parts of my life sometimes. I only have the capacity for work and family right now. But I'm working on it. I'll get there."

    The 29-year-old star hopes seeing her work is inspiring for her children, while the girls have also helped reignite her passion for acting.

    She said: "In order to be a great role model for them, I have to have a passion for myself. I love that they see me going out to work every day and working my a*** off...

    "They love making up plays. I've got the joy and the childlikeness of it back, which is so nice. [Although] they still want to play Disney princesses, where the prince comes and kisses them on the cheek. And I'm like, 'No, you can save the prince!' "

    Sophie turns 30 next month and hopes she can find "peace" within her new decade.

    She said: "I just want to have some peace in my thirties.

    "I feel like it's been really hectic for a long time and I'm ready to not have that anymore. Just settle a bit. We'll see if that happens."

    Regardless of what comes her way, the Steal actress knows she is resilient enough to overcome the tough times.

    She said: "As stressed as I am, I know I can get through it. That's the good thing about having a relatively hard twenties: I learned that I can survive a lot.

    "I'm like, there's pressure, there's stress, but I've been through worse. I have to remind myself that we're very malleable and we can take on a lot more than we think we can."
