Actress Sophie Turner Says Accidental Flirting Led to a Celebrity Engagement Breakup [WATCH]

Actress Sophie Turner says she inadvertently played a role in ending a celebrity couple’s engagement after a brief and seemingly innocent encounter years ago, as reported by Page Six.

She explained that the incident happened at a San Diego Comic-Con afterparty when she was approached by a childhood friend who spotted an actor she admired.

Turner said her friend asked her to say hello to the man, and she obliged by simply waving from across the room. “That was it,” Turner said.

Later that night, Turner approached a well-known actress she recognized and wanted to meet. “I have to go and tell her how much she means to me,” Turner recalled.

After walking over to speak with the actress, Turner said she was met with an unexpected response: “Can you stop f**king flirting with my fiancé?” The actress then pointed to the man Turner had waved at earlier.

“I have no idea who this man is,” Turner told Meyers. “Turns out, they broke their engagement off that night because of my [wave]. I didn’t realize I held this power.”

Turner said she could not reveal the couple’s names, citing potential trouble if she identified them.

During the same interview, Turner also discussed filming intimate scenes with her former “Game of Thrones” co-star Kit Harington for their upcoming movie, “The Dreadful.”

She described the experience as “vile” and said it was more uncomfortable than working with cockroaches and a mouse in her recent film “Trust.”

“We get on set and we are both retching,” Turner recalled, calling it “a really bad moment in [her] career.”

Turner’s personal life has also been in the public eye. Since 2023, she has been in an on-and-off relationship with aristocrat Peregrine “Perry” Pearson following her divorce from singer Joe Jonas. Turner and Jonas share two daughters: Willa, 5, and Delphine, 3.
