Sophie Turner, 24, and Joe Jonas, 30, just had their first child, four years after they first met.

Turner is best known for her role as Sansa Stark on "Game of Thrones," while Jonas is part of music groups DNCE and the Jonas Brothers (who made a comeback in 2019 after a six-year hiatus).

"We had a lot of mutual friends and they'd been trying to introduce us for a long time," Turner told Harper's Bazaar UK during a March 2019 interview. "We were following each other on Instagram and he direct messaged me one fine day, out of the blue."

After talking for a few weeks, they met up in real life in London.

"[We] were all in," Jonas told Dr. Phil in 2019. "We knew it was something unique."

Turner and Jonas met up at a local bar in Camden, UK, and the actress brought some friends as backup in case he turned out to be a catfish.

"I expected him to show up with security and everything. I thought, 'He's gonna be such a d---,'" Turner told Elle magazine in a cover story released in March 2020.

The actress said that she was skeptical that it was actually Jonas who messaged her in the first place. As a safety measure, she invited her friends to accompany her.

"I brought all my guy friends to come with me to meet him, because in the back of my mind I still worried that he could be a catfish — or I don't know what," she said. "I just wanted my guy friends with me. I had my rugby boys. I was safe."

Turner went on to say that she met up with Jonas at a "local s---ty bar, dirty, with great music and people throwing up everywhere" and they chatted "for hours."

She added: "It wasn't small talk — it was just so easy. And soon we were, like, inseparable. I went on tour with him."

"I'm in a relationship, but it's a very private relationship," she told the Times of London on July 1.

She also spoke generally about how her life had changed recently, likely in conjunction with her relationship to Jonas.

"I'm happier than I've been in a very long time," she told the publication. "I very much isolated myself for a while and forgot what was fun. Going out with friends, going out to eat, not really having a care. And people I've met recently in my life have drawn me out of that. It really helps you own those insecurities. The things I tortured myself about before, I can forget about."

"There's this weird misconception that being married is the greatest thing that'll ever happen to you," the actress told Marie Claire for the 2018 Fresh Faces issue. "But I've always found that my career is something I work for, and when I achieve something, there's a sense that this is the greatest thing I'll do in my life."

She elaborated, saying: "It's lovely to be engaged. Not like I achieved anything, but I found my person, like I'd find a house that I love and want to stay in forever. There's a sense of peace that comes with finding your person. But there's a drive that comes with your career."

"I think for the longest time I didn't have a real sense of myself," Turner, who was 13 when she auditioned for the role of Sansa on "GoT," said in a cover story for Glamour UK's spring/summer 2019 issue. "I had a bit of an identity crisis where I was playing all these people and I'd grown up faster than I probably should have done."

The actress went on to say that she credits "a lot" of her happiness to her relationship with Jonas, "who loves me more than he loves himself, and who wants to see me find my own happiness."

Turner added: "That was probably the biggest thing that pushed me to find who I am — and find my happiness in things other than acting."

"And when someone tells you they love you every day, it makes you really think about why that is and I think it makes you love yourself a bit more. So yeah, I love myself."

She added: "I feel safe around him. I won't be judged by him. He's seen the worst."
