Sophie Turner is getting real about motherhood—and it’s not all royal banquets and dragon eggs. The Game of Thrones alum opened up in a surprisingly candid interview, revealing how she’s navigating parenting two young daughters while also fiercely guarding her personal stash of chocolates.
Appearing on the Dish from Waitrose podcast alongside Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett, Sophie gave fans a rare peek into her post-divorce parenting style. And yes, her sense of humor is still very much intact—even if her pantry is under siege.
The actress, who shares four-year-old Willa and two-year-old Delphine with ex-husband Joe Jonas, got honest about raising toddlers in a world full of tech distractions and sugar temptations.
Sophie and Joe finalized their divorce in 2024 after their split in 2023, and they now co-parent their daughters. While it hasn’t been an easy ride, Sophie’s latest revelations show she’s prioritizing the values she grew up with—starting at the dinner table.
“Once phones kind of came to be around, phones were not allowed at the table,” Turner said, recalling her childhood. “It was very much like, sit down, have an hour of good talk with the family.”
She’s trying to keep that tradition alive with her girls. “I really enjoyed that and I’ve tried to keep that up,” she explained. But Sophie also admitted the reality of wrangling a four-year-old and a toddler is far from glamorous. “[Sighs] I’m trying. You know, I’ve got a four and a two-year-old, so it’s not as easy as sitting down.”
The chaos of dinner time is something most parents can relate to, but Sophie’s honesty—and humor—make it especially endearing. And when it comes to snacks? Well, Mummy draws the line.
“I have, in my house, like little jars of proper food, like pasta and whatnot,” she said. “And then right next to it is my jar of Milky Ways.”

Yes, Sophie Turner has a secret chocolate stash—and no, she’s not sharing. “The kids will try and take one, but hands off. That’s Mummy’s,” she joked.
That one-liner has already sparked laughter online, with fans calling her “the most relatable celeb mom ever.” And if you thought the Joan star’s diet was all superfoods and salads, think again. Sophie herself admitted she has “the palette of a five-year-old.”
Despite her Hollywood fame, Sophie is determined to keep things as normal as possible for her daughters. That includes drawing boundaries, maintaining family traditions, and occasionally hoarding candy from her kids.
Since her split with Joe Jonas, Sophie has largely kept a low profile when it comes to her children. But in this rare appearance, she offered a refreshingly down-to-earth glimpse into her new normal.
The former couple reached a custody agreement earlier this year, choosing to prioritize co-parenting and stability for Willa and Delphine. Sophie’s approach now seems rooted in balance—giving her daughters the structure she valued while also embracing the unpredictability of young motherhood.
And while dinner might be more chaos than calm some nights, Sophie’s commitment to screen-free meals and real conversations is something many families are striving for.
The fact that she’s doing it all with a hidden jar of Milky Ways nearby? That just makes her even more lovable. From Westeros to real-world parenting, Sophie Turner continues to prove she’s a queen in her own right—even if she has to protect her chocolate like it’s the Iron Throne.
