Sophie Turner, Game of Thrones’ Sansa Stark, Has a New Stark on the Way!

Sophie

Good news is hard to come by these days, isn’t it? The world is on fire (literally), the people are divided, and House of the Dragon is potentially 2 full years away. Egad. So when some good news comes along, we have to celebrate it like the miracle that it truly is. And that good news comes from one of our favorite actors. Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark), the Queen in the North, and ruler of 1 kingdom, is expecting a child, and we couldn’t be happier for her.

Just Jared broke the news story, and while it’s by no means my business to be personally invasive, I can at least celebrate knowing that Sophie and her husband (singer and actor Joe Jonas) are happy: “The couple is keeping things very hush hush but their friends and family are super excited for them,” reports a close source.

Now, we are not a gossip site, nor are we a tabloid site, and I will not sit here and speculate on anything further, other than to jump in and say we at Watchers on the Wall are thrilled for them, and wish our queen nothing but the best. Up next, Sophie has a project on the new pseudo streaming service Quibi. I’ll be watching in April. Will you?

  2. New “Starks” (as I understand them as part of that family in the Westeros’ world) can only be created by GRRM, the creator of this story.

    However, I join the Congrats to Sophie Turner and her partner on their expected child.

    Does show canon count?

  4. Mango,

    It’s just a way of expressing oneself, Mango. Technically, you are right, Sophie has a new Jonas on the way. I think actresses expecting a happy event have been associated with fictional characters they played in similar circumstances before though not necessarily with characters created by GRRM. Though it’s possible you were making your comment ‘tongue in cheek’.

    Yep.

  7. Congratulations to Sansa…errr…Sophie, and all the best! Hopefully she teaches her child two things: don’t go South and never become Hand Of The King…

    Maybe not, come to think about it.

    At least, two things about the show canon that I do not wish on poor Sophie.

    First, pregnancies seem to have a two-year or a longer term (Exhibit A: Cersei’s child that was about to be born ready for attending kindergarden).

    Second, babies seem to grow very slowly and learn to walk at about college-age (Exhibit B: Little Sam’s leisurely development.)

  10. Good for her! And Survive looks surprisingly good! Sophie’s always been great at playing characters stuck in desperate situations.
