Sophie Turner slams critic who claimed she ‘forgot’ her kids

Sophie Turner defends enjoying a night out by reminding haters about shared custody with Joe Jonas.

Sophie Turner, best known for playing Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones, swiftly shut down an Instagram troll who accused her of neglecting her children. After enjoying a night out at an Oasis gig, she posted some upbeat photos, but one commenter snapped back, “Lmfao, I think she has forgotten that she has two kids.”

Her response was sharp yet telling, “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.” It was both a dismissal of undue criticism and a reminder of the balanced co-parenting arrangement she and Joe Jonas have established.

Turner and Jonas, who married in 2019, finalised their divorce in September 2024. Despite the split being labelled ‘irretrievably broken,’ they’ve continued as co-parents to their daughters, Willa (four) and Delphine (two). Joe Jonas recently praised their dynamic, saying he wants his daughters to grow up with powerful female role models and that both parents provide just that.

Turner has previously expressed regret about how their separation played out and how it affected their children. In an interview, she shared she feels her kids were among the ‘victims’ of the process, adding that she’s thankful Jonas is “a great father,” and she believes “we’re doing the best we can.”

Her quick and pointed comeback won praise across social media, with many defending her right to a personal night out and supporting the transparency she’s shown regarding custody. Turner’s response wasn’t just about defending herself; it was also a graceful demonstration of maturity and a reminder that parenting doesn’t cease when fame intervenes.
