Sophie Turner Breaks Silence On 'A Wave' From Her Ending A-List Engagement

Sophie Turner is recalling how a simple wave she gave years ago at a San Diego Comic-Con afterparty unexpectedly played a role in ending an A-list engagement.

The revelation comes on the heels of Sophie Turner defending her nightlife habits as a mom of two, clapping back at a social media critic who tried to mom-shame her. The actress shares daughters Willa and Delphine with ex-husband Joe Jonas.

The star recalled being out with a childhood friend when her night took an unexpected turn. Her friend spotted an actor she adored and begged Turner to greet him.

"I have no idea who this man is," she said, explaining that she gave him nothing more than a casual wave from across the room.

What happened next was straight out of a gossip column. By the end of the night, that celebrity couple had called off their engagement, all because of one innocent wave. In her words:

"Turns out, they broke their engagement off that night because of my [wave]. I didn't realize I held this power."

Turner told Seth Meyers on his late-night show that later in the evening, after the wave, she crossed the dance floor to tell a famous actress how much she admired her.

Instead of a friendly exchange, the actress snapped, "Can you stop f-cking flirting with my fiancé?" When Turner asked who she meant, the lady pointed at the man she had waved to earlier.

Turner has always enjoyed a good night out, and becoming a mom did not change that. It was her latest outing that sparked a fan's criticism and prompted her to fire back.

The Blast noted that Turner had attended a Liam Gallagher concert with a friend, posting bucket-hat selfies and beer-in-hand clips on Instagram. While most fans enjoyed the glimpse into her night, one person commented, "lmfao I think she has forgotten that she has two kids."

Turner wasted no time responding. "Ah, I'm so sorry, sometimes I forget some people can't think for themselves," she wrote. "So… get this… there's this crazy thing called shared custody. Maybe, just maybe, they were with their dad that day."

The fan might have meant well, but it wasn't necessary because Joe Jonas has nothing but good things to say about Turner's parenting. While the two may no longer be together, he has been open about his admiration for how she raises their daughters. 

Back in May, Jonas called co-parenting with Turner "really beautiful." He also made it clear he values the example she sets for their girls, Willa and Delphine.

"Having an incredible mom, Sophie, for those girls is like a dream come true. As young girls, looking up to great women is what I want for them," Jonas shared. 

The former couple may be in a good place now but getting there was not easy. The Blast reported that after their once picture-perfect marriage ended in divorce, things quickly spiraled into a tense public dispute. 

Turner filed a lawsuit claiming Jonas had "wrongfully removed" their daughters from England, sparking a fight over custody and where the children would grow up.

Her legal team argued the girls were meant to be raised in the UK, where the couple had just settled into what she described as their "forever home." 

Jonas's side pushed back, calling the lawsuit a "serious abuse" of the legal system, though he later said he was open to the children splitting their time between the United States and the UK. Luckily, in October 2023, the exes reached a temporary custody agreement through mediation.

Just as Turner struggled with the split, it appears Jonas felt the impact, too. He opened up about how the end of their marriage became part of the creative process, describing it as "scary at times" but "freeing."

Jonas told Billboard that while the album is not about taking shots or airing dirty laundry, it does reflect both his upbeat outlook and the journey it took to get there.

"I was going through a lot of life changes, finding out who I was as a person and father, and friend, and living under the microscope of what the music industry can be," he shared.

Looks like Sophie Turner's innocent little wave packed more drama than an entire season of reality TV.
