Sophie Turner issues savage response to mum shamer who accuses her of abandoning kids
Game of Thrones star and mum-of-two, Sophie Turner, shared a snap of herself at an Oasis concert, larking about with a pal, but one of her followers was not impressed Sophie Turner has slammed a fan, who accused her of abandoning her two children, in a savage exchange on Instagram. The Game of Thrones star, 29, shares daughters, Willa, four, and Delphine, two, with her ex-husband, Joe Jonas. The actress, who is reportedly back with her on/off boyfriend, aristocrat, Peregrine Pearson, co-parents her kids with Joe, who lives in LA, and was quick to point this out to a follower, who accused Sophie of 'forgetting' about her daughters. Taking to Instagram, sharing a snap of herself and a pal, larking about at Oasis' gig in London last week, the Sansa Stark star wrote: "Bucket hats and beers. That'll do me. Thank you @Levis." It comes as Noel Gallagher was seen in tears at the band's latest gig in Edinburgh at the weekend. Responding to Sophie, one of her followers said: "Lmfao I think she has forgotten that she has two kids." However, Sophie shot back: "Ah, I'm so sorry, sometimes, I forget some people can't think for themselves. "So, get this... There's this crazy thing called shared custody. Maybe, just maybe, they were with their dad that day." Sophie was married to Joe from 2019 to 2023 before the singer filed for divorce in September 2023, which kick-started a lengthy and messy custody battle. While Sophie is British, and petitioned to be able to travel across the pond with her kids, Joe hails from New Jersey and wanted to keep them nearby. The former couple ultimately agreed to share custody. "After a productive and successful mediation, we have agreed that the children will spend time equally in loving homes in both the US and the UK," the now exes said in a statement to Us Weekly at the time. "We look forward to being great coparents." While they were together, Sophie and Joe delighted their fans by regularly sharing sharing snaps of themselves, looking loved up. Sophie even appeared in a music video for the Jonas Brothers - alongside Joe's brothers Nick, and Kevin, and their respective wives Priyanka Chopra, and Danielle Deleasa. However, their relationship wasn't to be and last year, the actress shared her hopes for the future of her two daughters, while navigating life as single mum. Speaking to Harpers Bazar, Sophie said she hopes her children regard her as a successful provider for them, sharing: "I want them to see me having a social life and enjoying work and thriving in my career and relationships. I want them to see a hard-working mum. I'll come back and say, 'This is why Mummy was away – it's because she's doing this for you, so Father Christmas can come with a big bundle of presents'.".

Patrick Kielty's family tell of sad moment they knew Cat Deeley marriage was over
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info The family of Patrick Kielty are believed to have pinpointed the moment his marriage to Cat Deeley was over, and it's a revelation that has reportedly left them fuming. Last month, the television pair released a joint statement confirming their separation. They stated: "We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated. There is no other party involved, reports the Mirror. "We will continue to be united as loving parents to our children and would therefore kindly ask for our family privacy to be respected. There will be no further comment." Despite the seemingly amicable announcement, it's reported that an action by This Morning presenter Cat, 48, deeply upset 54 year old Patrick's family. Cat's absence at the funeral of Patrick's mother Mary in March is said to have angered the Kielty clan, and they believe this incident signalled the end of the couple's relationship. A family member told the Daily Mail: "Whatever rockiness was going on in the marriage, something as momentous as his mother's funeral, you would makeup even temporarily and just put your 'best face' on as we say in Northern Ireland." "Cat obviously knew how close Patrick was to Mary and she should have come to be by his side, a hand on his shoulder as he buried his mother. The fact that she stayed in London and presented This Morning on the day, it's not been forgotten." And the source maintained people remain stunned by Cat's behaviour, stating: "It was the point when we all realised that that marriage had ended." A spokesperson told Mirror at the time: "Cat remained at home to be there for her two young children before and after school on this very sad day." Patrick's relatives are now reportedly supporting the broadcaster as he processes what lies ahead. The pair had first crossed paths whilst co-presenting BBC's Fame Academy back in 2002. Nevertheless, they didn't step out publicly as a romantic item until nine years afterwards in 2011. Merely a year later in September 2012, they exchanged vows during a ceremony in Rome and welcomed two children together. Whilst Cat appears alongside Ben Shephard on This Morning, Northern Irish host Patrick fronts RTE chat show The Late Late Show, having succeeded Ryan Tubridy in 2023. When exactly the couple parted ways remains unknown. However, with the pair spending periods separated owing to clashing work commitments between Ireland and London, this is believed to have played a part in their separation. Cat's final Instagram mention of Patrick occurred in October 2023. On that occasion, she shared a quirky 90s-inspired collection of photos featuring them both. She captioned it: "Slightly terrifying but obsessed." The couple's last public outing was a month prior. She also posted a snapshot of the event on her social media, capturing their cheerful expressions as they prepared for the occasion and later mingled with the crowd. The clip also featured Patrick being warmly welcomed on stage.
