We might know Sophie Turner as Game of Thrones’ ‘Queen Of The North’, but the newly separated British actor has her arm around a new man, who is part of the real world nobility.
Talks of a possible romance were sparked earlier this year when Turner was pictured kissing British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson on the streets of Paris. She was there to present the Rugby World Cup Trophy as a Louis Vuitton ambassador (the trophy travels in a Louis Vuitton case). According to E! online, the pair were also seen at the match between New Zealand and South Africa and later at Gare Du Nord.
Then, she was again spotted with Pearson, this time in London, holding hands on a crisp winter walk and even sharing yet another smooch while they waited for a car to pick them up. Peep the photos here.
The romance has continued to progress, with the pair sharing holiday snaps on a ski trip with the caption, “Jägerbomb anyone?” More on that later.
In mid February, the pair attended their first official event together, Stanley Zhu’s Year of Dragon Celebration at Dixie Queen in London. Turner was resplendent in a rouched grey two-piece set, with an off-the shoulder silhouette reminiscent of Princess Diana’s ‘revenge dress’.
Now, Sophie has reaffirmed their official status with another, more prominent, appearance from Peregrine on her Instagram. The actress shared a series of holiday snaps in which her new beau played a starring role, simply captioning the post with a sun emoji.
But who is Peregrine Pearson? And how did he manage to catch the attention of Turner amidst her public split from estranged husband Joe Jonas? Here’s what you need to know.

His father worked as a film producer until he inherited his estate, Cowdray Park, in 1995.
According to Tatler, Michael has businesses in polo, golf, holiday homes and even a retreat. His 20,000 acre property in West Sussex was handed down through the family and boasts 22 bedrooms.

Then, in December, the couple were seen on the streets of London sharing a kiss and walking hand in hand, bundled up in winter woolies.
While the pair have not divulged if they are officially boyfriend and girlfriend, a source told US Weekly that things have been getting more serious for the couple.
“Sophie has been casually dating a few people since her split from Joe,” the source allegedly said, adding, that she “really seems to like spending time with Perry.”
While things are still “fairly new” the source says they’ve become “progressively closer” and that Turner is happy with how things are “moving along”.
In January the pair shared snaps on holiday, clearly on a ski trip with friends in Europe. She even tagged him in the post.
