Two months shy of 30, Sophie Turner is greeting the milestone with optimism instead of dread. In a Jan. 7 CBS Mornings interview, the Game of Thrones alum detailed the “self-work” that’s prepared her for the next decade.
Therapy, Growth, and a New Chapter
Co-host Gayle King noted Turner’s turbulent 2023-divorce from Joe Jonas, a transatlantic custody dispute over daughters Willa, 5, and Delphine, 3, and a headline-grabbing lawsuit that was later dropped. Rather than dwell on the past, Turner said intensive therapy has left her “really ready.”
- Months of counseling sessions
- Focus on self-knowledge and confidence
- Goal of entering her 30s on her “own terms”
Life After Divorce: Co-Parenting and Career
A confidential settlement reached in September 2024 gives both parents time with the children. Turner told King she craves simple pleasures now:
- Playground outings
- Museum trips with the girls
- A “bit of peace and quiet” between projects
Her upcoming Prime Video thriller Steal will keep her on screen, but she’s equally eager for off-camera calm.
Bucket List for the Next Decade
When King asked what she hopes to accomplish, Turner kept the list short and meaningful:
- Work consistently
- Protect family downtime
- Embrace every “new beginning”
She credited best friend Tabitha Doherty for an Instagram note that resonated: “Adversity brings strength of character for the next challenge.”
Key Takeaways
- Turner views 30 as a launch pad, not a deadline
- Therapy and reflection replaced post-divorce bitterness
- Co-parenting agreement lets her prioritize motherhood and career balance
- Expect more screen roles-but also more playground swings
With therapy complete and a fresh outlook, the actress is trading tabloid drama for bedtime stories and box-office thrillers alike.
