Sophie Turner Breaks Silence On 'A Wave' From Her Ending A-List Engagement
The revelation comes on the heels of Sophie Turner defending her nightlife habits as a mom of two, clapping back at a social media critic who tried to mom-shame her. The actress shares daughters Willa and Delphine with ex-husband Joe Jonas.
Sophie Turner Says She Wasn't Even Waving For Herself
The star recalled being out with a childhood friend when her night took an unexpected turn. Her friend spotted an actor she adored and begged Turner to greet him.
"I have no idea who this man is," she said, explaining that she gave him nothing more than a casual wave from across the room.
What happened next was straight out of a gossip column. By the end of the night, that celebrity couple had called off their engagement, all because of one innocent wave. In her words:
"Turns out, they broke their engagement off that night because of my [wave]. I didn't realize I held this power."
Turner told Seth Meyers on his late-night show that later in the evening, after the wave, she crossed the dance floor to tell a famous actress how much she admired her.
Instead of a friendly exchange, the actress snapped, "Can you stop f-cking flirting with my fiancé?" When Turner asked who she meant, the lady pointed at the man she had waved to earlier.
The 'Game Of Thrones' Star Shuts Down Her Night Out Critic
Turner has always enjoyed a good night out, and becoming a mom did not change that. It was her latest outing that sparked a fan's criticism and prompted her to fire back.
The Blast noted that Turner had attended a Liam Gallagher concert with a friend, posting bucket-hat selfies and beer-in-hand clips on Instagram. While most fans enjoyed the glimpse into her night, one person commented, "lmfao I think she has forgotten that she has two kids."
Turner wasted no time responding. "Ah, I'm so sorry, sometimes I forget some people can't think for themselves," she wrote. "So… get this… there's this crazy thing called shared custody. Maybe, just maybe, they were with their dad that day."
Turner Praised As 'Incredible Mom' By Ex-Husband
The fan might have meant well, but it wasn't necessary because Joe Jonas has nothing but good things to say about Turner's parenting. While the two may no longer be together, he has been open about his admiration for how she raises their daughters.
Back in May, Jonas called co-parenting with Turner "really beautiful." He also made it clear he values the example she sets for their girls, Willa and Delphine.
"Having an incredible mom, Sophie, for those girls is like a dream come true. As young girls, looking up to great women is what I want for them," Jonas shared.
Sophie Turner And Joe Jonas Found Common Ground After A Bitter Divorce Battle
The former couple may be in a good place now but getting there was not easy. The Blast reported that after their once picture-perfect marriage ended in divorce, things quickly spiraled into a tense public dispute.
Turner filed a lawsuit claiming Jonas had "wrongfully removed" their daughters from England, sparking a fight over custody and where the children would grow up.
Her legal team argued the girls were meant to be raised in the UK, where the couple had just settled into what she described as their "forever home."
Jonas's side pushed back, calling the lawsuit a "serious abuse" of the legal system, though he later said he was open to the children splitting their time between the United States and the UK. Luckily, in October 2023, the exes reached a temporary custody agreement through mediation.
The 'Jonas Brothers' Star Says Divorce Shaped His New Music
Just as Turner struggled with the split, it appears Jonas felt the impact, too. He opened up about how the end of their marriage became part of the creative process, describing it as "scary at times" but "freeing."
Jonas told Billboard that while the album is not about taking shots or airing dirty laundry, it does reflect both his upbeat outlook and the journey it took to get there.
"I was going through a lot of life changes, finding out who I was as a person and father, and friend, and living under the microscope of what the music industry can be," he shared.
Looks like Sophie Turner's innocent little wave packed more drama than an entire season of reality TV.

A massive mountain park in Vermont celebrates the bond between dogs and their humans
ST. JOHNSBURY, Vt. (AP) — Anne Pace has been hearing about Dog Mountain for years, but until earlier this month, had never made a trip to the park. 'I really wanted to see this place,' she said, during a visit to the grounds with her one-year-old border collie, Tam. 'I put a note up for my previous border collie. He was my best buddy.' Set on 150 acres tucked away on a hillside in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, Dog Mountain has become a destination for dog lovers looking to explore nature, take in art, or pay tribute to a pet. The park was created 25 years ago by Vermont folk artist Stephen Huneck and his wife, Gwen, and features hiking trails, swimming ponds, an art gallery and a Dog Chapel where visitors can add to the thousands of photos and notes to pets that cover the chapel walls. 'It is absolutely breathtaking. That's a lot of love when you think about each picture that's here,' said Vanessa Hurley, who was visiting with her husband and two dogs from Ohio. 'Dogs and cats both, they just bring so much enjoyment to our lives,' she said. Inspired by the bond he shared with his dogs, Huneck wanted to create a space where other animal lovers could celebrate their beloved pets, gallery manager Pam McCann said. 'Dog Mountain is really a pilgrimage place and a sanctuary,' she said. Huneck's sculpture, prints and furniture are featured in the gallery and scattered throughout the park, including inside the chapel he built himself. With black labs and golden retrievers carved into the ends of each pew and images of his own dog, Sally, in the stained-glass windows, his love of dogs is evident in every detail. Scott Ritchie and his wife, Julie, have been traveling the country in an RV with their three large dogs and thought Dog Mountain would be the perfect place for them to stretch their legs. They enjoyed it so much on their first visit, they decided to come back the next day. 'It's very rare you see something like this anywhere. We've been traveling all over the U.S. for five and a half months. Just a beautiful area,' he said. McCann says the park was made for visitors like Ritchie. 'That's what it's for, people who really care and people who are very connected to everything around them,' she said. 'Including the animals that they are the guardians of.'
