Sophie Turner on Meeting Joe Jonas for the First Time: "I Wept to My Brother"
Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas's relationship has been one of the most talked-about in Hollywood, but before their recent divorce, the couple was known for their whirlwind romance and strong bond. In a 2020 interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Turner opened up about her first meeting with Jonas, revealing that she wept to her brother afterward.
"I mean, the first night I met him," Turner said when Fallon asked her when she realized she was going to marry Jonas. "It may have been the alcohol."
But despite the alcohol, Turner's reaction to Jonas was genuine. She shared that she and Jonas went out to a bar with their friends, and after he left, she was so overwhelmed by her feelings for him that she started to cry.
"I remember him leaving and I just wept to my brother," Turner said. "I was like, 'I love this man so much!'"
Turner's immediate connection with Jonas is understandable. He is a talented musician and actor, and he is known for his kind and charming personality. Additionally, Turner has said that she was drawn to Jonas's confidence and maturity.
"He's so confident and mature," Turner said in a 2019 interview with Harper's Bazaar. "He knows what he wants in life and he's not afraid to go after it. And he's just such a good person."
While Turner and Jonas's relationship has now come to an end, their initial connection was undeniable. Turner's tears after meeting Jonas for the first time are a testament to the powerful feelings she had for him from the start.
