In late 2023, newly divorced Sophie Turner started dating Peregrine Pearson, a titled toff. Pearson will one day become the Viscount Cowdray, and he seemed well-connected in elite British circles. Surprisingly, they seemed to get pretty serious about each other and they dated for the better part of two years. I actually thought they were still together, but apparently not. Apparently, Sophie is now dating Chris Martin!! Chris and Dakota Johnson ended their eight-year relationship at some point this year, and I’m still mad at him for wasting her time. Well, he’s about to waste the time of a much younger woman now. Man, he really has a physical type, doesn’t he?
She’s the glamorous Game Of Thrones actress who seemed poised to marry into the aristocracy – but now I can reveal that Sophie Turner has swapped her posh boyfriend the Hon. Peregrine ‘Perry’ Pearson for Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.
I hear the singer, 48, who recently split from American actress Dakota Johnson, went on a ‘secret date’ with Sophie, 29, shortly after she and Perry called it quits after nearly two years together.
Despite several reports of splits and reconciliations between Pearson and Turner over the summer, insiders tell me that the couple officially broke up after a high-society wedding in late September. My spies say they were seen there bickering and arguing between feverish snogs on the dancefloor. Sophie did not mope around feeling glum about losing her Viscount-in-waiting for long as I hear she went on a date with Martin the very next week.
Martin, who famously ‘consciously uncoupled’ from his ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, has been in London this summer with a string of Wembley dates as part of Coldplay’s Music Of The Spheres tour. But while Sophie appears to have moved on with the Coldplay frontman, it seems Perry didn’t waste much time, either.
My sources say the heir to the Cowdray estate in West Sussex was seen at a trendy West London nightclub last week, hand-in-hand with a willowy, long-legged blonde who had an uncanny – and rather amusing – resemblance to Sophie. A representative for Sophie Turner declined to comment.
This is just a funny line: “My spies say they were seen there bickering and arguing between feverish snogs on the dancefloor.” “Feverish snogs” is an especially delightful phrase. It really paints a picture of Sophie and Peregrine’s mercurial relationship too, and it had to have ended badly for both of them to split and then immediately run off with other people. As for Chris… my dude, you are 48 years old. Why in the world are you a 28-year-old divorced mom’s rebound after she broke up with a toff?? My lord, Chris is such a cliche.

We’re assuming he’s wasting her time. Maybe she’s looking for a fun rebound fling to very publicly show she’s not moping over her breakup.
Exactly. She’s a grown woman who went right from a long term relationship/marriage into another long term relationship. Maybe she knows what she is getting into. Let’s give her some credit.
She could do that with an attractive man her age without baggage.
So Chris is Sophie’s revenge dress?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
At least Chris won’t really be wasting Sophie’s time if building a family is the goal…She already has kids to raise and doesn’t necessarily need to pass that bridge with him.
But I agree…this just feels embarrassing for him, running off with another woman, 20 years his junior.
Seems like she may have a type too. And I agree, we don’t know what she wants out of this so can’t presume that Chris is wasting her time. Maybe she wants to have a little fun after being married, and then hopping out of that right into a 2-year-long relationship. She’s not even 30 yet, maybe she’s a little tired of serial monogamy.
As for Chris, until I hear that these grown women are being mistreated in some manner I’m going to let them make the choices that they want to make for their own relationships.
She chooses the most, I don’t know, unappealing artists, in my opinion. I couldn’t think of a better word for how I view the Jonas brothers or Chris Martin.
If she just wants a sexy rebound, which I understand completely, she should go for a tall, sexy, strapping dude. An athlete, a model, a Hemsworth clone or Idris clone or something.
Not *fart noise* Chris Martin.
The Peregrine guy looked physically attractive though.
He really did waste 8 years of Dakota’s time.
When you look less decent than Leo DiCaprio, you need to, um, check in with yourself.
He should date someone his own age.
He–and any young woman he inflicts himself upon–is much better off with a person who has already done the marriage children thing previously.
How can a man waste a grown woman’s life? Is she incapable of basic thought? It’s like the Aniston bs that lasted for 20 years and gave her so much publicity!
Anyway, dude absolutely has a type.. Maybe she wants fun
The idea that a woman’s time was” wasted” because it didn’t end in marriage or children is making a lot of assumptions. DaKota just like Sophie are adults who can enter and leave relationships when they choose.
It’s just a thought, but maybe grown women are capable of thinking by themselves and choose who to be in a relationship with? And obviously some 30yo don’t mind going out with someone 15 or 20 years older.
Accusing someone of “wasting her time” when they obviously chose to be in that relationship is just infantilizing them.
Well no, because often those men dangle things in front of the women like children and marriage and act like it’s just around the corner “except this has to happen first” and it’s a constantly moving goalpost. And then they never intended it, the women are f@cked and alone, and the man rinses and repeats.
I doubt Dakota was naive enough to believe that from a middle aged divorcee with adult children. She was raised by Hollywood lotharios much hotter than Martin.
Women have agency. If woman truly desires to get married and have children, she will find a partner who wants the same things as she does. Women are not helpless children who need to be protected from the big bad men they date that won’t marry them. It’s 2025 let’s stop with this narrative.
Exactly. And some women just don’t want marriage or children. To assume that is the case is very old fashioned
I think Chris is retiring into being a f*%k boy, and he was a super easy jump off for Sophie. Good headlines. Mediocre sex. No drama.
I wonder if maybe the Queen of the North has a bad picker.
Hope she is doing well, love that when she divorced, she gave herself London, and she loves being home.
Her born rich titled dude looked like someone she had a lot of fun with.
We don’t know what she is looking for.
Married and divorced with 2 kids at such a young age, she gets to not go back to marriage for as long as she wants.
But, i think she could do better than this guy.
I want all good things for Sophie, and Chris Martin is not it.
I give this like three weeks.
Exactly 👏🏼
This. I thought when she got together with Pearson so soon after her marriage to Joe Jonas ended that she needed to just be alone for a little while and figure out her life now that she was a single mother after the heartache Jonas put her through. Now she’s started up with Chris Martin of all people just a week after ending another long term relationship?
I get it and I know it’s hard. It’s her life, not mine, but if she were my friend I’d be sitting her down right about now and trying to see if there was anything I could do to help a perspective shift from “must be coupled up at all times” to “maybe it’s okay to be single for a few weeks/months” happen.
I think that, after living in the states for so long, she just wanted to spend time with the most British-est of Brits (some titled knob). Can’t blame her for that. 100% guaranteed that the person she ends up with long-term will be a Brit, given her difficulty adjusting to the US. I don’t blame her…it’s rough going from Europe/UK to freaking Miami or LA. Such a contrast, whereas NYC is not all that different.
This is exactly what I thought, too. I suspect he got her number the second he found out she was single and returning to Blighty. He appealed because he’s a tall, titled, aristo, an exact opposite of the little husband she left behind. I doubt she was looking for long term but went along with the ride.
I don’t have a theory on why Chris Martin beyond what I said above. He’s just an arm to escort her until she’s confident in being solo for awhile. She hasn’t been single since she was basically a child, so I don’t judge her moving to that comfort zone slowly.
He’s as bland and uninteresting as his music.
I think it’s the British aristo tale as old as time : Peregrine (love that name) is the heir to quite a wealthy title and estate. He needs to do his duty and pull a Duke of Westminster, settle down and find an appropriate wife to bear him lovely aristo kids. Certainly not a divorced actress with two kids and a fortune of her own… How would Sophie fit into that world?
I bet Perry’s family never approved of Sophie in the first place, and clock is ticking on heirs, so here we are. But British aristo culture being what it is and the fireworks between Sophie and Perry I doubt they’re done for good.
But Chris Martin ? Ugh, definite downgrade. She can do better!
Interesting theory! I never considered them a long term thing (for those reasons and also because I want Sophie to live some life before she marries again). But yeah if he’s going to marry his posh neighbor’s daughter, have a few babies, and in five years following an amicable divorce reunite with Sophie. Sure.
Martin is not what comes to mind when I think “fun rebound” but this couple oddly makes sense to me
While none of us know Dakota’s expectations from that relationship, I can tell you some men can absolutely waste your time. At the age of 22 began a long term relationship with a man (?) who told me in the first year he wanted to marry me. But we were young and it was too soon for either of us so I was in no rush. Around year 3 or 4 he started stringing me along, putting off marriage because it wasn’t the right time. I loved him and thought he loved me so I wasn’t too worried. By year 6-7 he told me he didn’t want to be married and started to withdraw. So I dumped him. During my break-up speech he insisted he wanted to marry me but I’d had enough. Less than one year later he married someone he’d known for less than 3 months. I can’t even express the disgust I had for him when I found out. Jokes on him though because that marriage lasted less than a year. I moved on with my life away from him but I can tell you at the time I absolutely felt he had wasted my time. Now many decades later I’m glad we never married but I’m still outraged over the way things ended. So I have some sympathy for Dakota if he blindsided her like I was once long ago. I guess what I’m trying to say is no one can possibly know what goes on in someone else’s relationship. It’s very easy to say you would never do this or that, but where love is involved common sense can go out the window. Rant over.
Sorry that happened to you, but you stayed. You weren’t a hostage. You weren’t forced to be in the relationship. What stopped you from leaving the moment you realized you two didn’t want the same things ? A lot of women waste their own time by not walking away when it’s obvious you and your partner don’t want the same things; that and sunk cost fallacy. A lot of women and men just don’t want to start over after they’ve invested X amount of time in a relationship.
Don’t forget Sophie will have to deal with Gwyneth now, since the two families are so intertwined (Dakota went on vacations with Chris, Goop and Goop’s husband). I hope Sophie scoots to avoid all that. I would.
Also, I doubt whether Goop would have the grace to accept that she is 50 and Sophie is less than 30. It would rankle. And God knows what Gwyneth would be like when she’s actually trying to be a bitch.
Dakota was also younger. The age gap has grown, as it likely will continue to, but does GOOP really care? It’s not like he cheated on her.
Pearson broke off a long relationship with a Greek princess whose name I have forgotten. Her mother is one of the Miller sisters, daughters of a wealthy American family. They all married wealthy men.
