Sophie Turner Expecting Second Child With Joe Jonas: 'It's The Best Blessing Ever'
Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas are ecstatic about experiencing parenthood for the second time. The "Game of Thrones" star has confirmed that she and her husband are expecting their second child together.
"It's what life is about for me – raising the next generation. The greatest thing in life is seeing my daughter go from strength to strength. We're so excited to be expanding the family. It's the best blessing ever," the 26-year-old said in an exclusive interview with Elle UK.
Turner and Jonas made a red carpet appearance at the Met Gala on Monday. The actress was pictured cradling her growing belly while donning a stunning outfit — an embroidered long-sleeve Louis Vuitton gown, which she paired with white-gold-and-diamond earrings from the Louis Vuitton High Jewelry collection, People reported.
The couple tied the knot in a surprise Las Vegas ceremony in May 2019 before saying "I do" again at a larger function in France the following month. They welcomed their first baby together — daughter Willa — in July 2020.
When asked if Willa has grasped the fact that she's about to become a big sister, Turner replied, "I don't think so."
"I'll point to my stomach and say, 'What's in there?' and she'll go, 'Baby.' But then she points to her own stomach and says, 'Baby,' and then she'll point to her dad's tummy and say, 'Baby.' So, I think she just thinks that a belly is a baby and that's the name for it. But she is a lot clingier than normal, so I think she has an idea. She wants Mummy all of the time – she's claiming her territory," added the expectant mom.
Turner is now focused on her career, while making sure there is some sense of normalcy around Willa as she grows up.
"I'm very protective of the life we've built. Every time Joe and I do a red carpet together, we make sure it's for the right reason and makes sense for our careers. You never want to market yourself as a celebrity couple. It's not that cool," she said.
"And my daughter never asked for any of this. I know what it can do to your mental health to be in this industry and to be photographed every day and have the comments. It's not something I want her to deal with unless she says, 'This is what I want to do.' We're quite strict about that. We'll encourage her to do whatever she wants but I don't think we would professionally let her do anything until she's 18. I also feel quite strongly about my daughter not becoming a nepotism child," added the mother.
