Sophie Turner, the Game of Thrones star who is going through a divorce with her popstar husband Joe Jonas, has been seen kissing a new man in Paris. The man is none other than Peregrine Pearson, the heir to the Cowdray estate and the ex-boyfriend of Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece.
Peregrine Pearson, or Perry as he is known, is the son of Michael Orlando Weetman Pearson, the 4th Viscount Cowdray, and Marina Rose Cordle, the Viscountess Cowdray. He was born on October 27, 1994 and has four siblings. He is the director of Weetman Developments, a property development company, and an ambassador for Le Chameau, a French footwear brand. He is also a polo enthusiast and a friend of the royals.
Perry dated Princess Maria-Olympia, the goddaughter of King Charles, from 2020 to 2023. They were often seen at high-profile events and parties, such as the Serpentine Gallery Summer Party and the Dior Cruise show. However, they reportedly split this summer and Perry was not present at Maria-Olympia’s birthday party in August.

What is the status of Sophie Turner’s divorce with Joe Jonas?
Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas got married in May 2019 in a surprise Las Vegas ceremony after the Billboard Music Awards. They later had a second wedding in France in June 2019 with their family and friends. They have two children together: Willa, born in July 2020, and Delphine, born in December 2021.
However, their marriage hit a rough patch earlier this year and Jonas filed for divorce on September 1, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple had been living separately for months and had tried to work things out through therapy, but to no avail.
Since then, Turner has been focusing on her career and spending time with her friends. She was seen hanging out with Taylor Swift at a Kansas City Chiefs game with Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. She also attended the Met Gala in September with her Game of Thrones co-star Maisie Williams.
Jonas, on the other hand, has been taking care of their children and working on his music. He was photographed in New York taking Willa and Delphine out for a Halloween outing. He also performed with his brothers Nick and Kevin at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas.
