Inside Chris Martin and Sophie Turner’s Quiet New Connection

Published

on

In London, a quiet romance is said to be developing between Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and actress Sophie Turner . While neither has made a public statement, this is a compelling story of two Brits, both freshly single.

“They have gone out on a few dates in London,” Us  Weekly reported. “It is still very new, but they have a lot of chemistry, and there’s a definite spark between them.”

They also emphasized: “The two have a lot in common, and Chris is definitely her type. They have bonded over being British and their love for music.”

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Turner has expressed admiration for Martin. In a resurfaced clip, her ex-husband Joe Jonas is heard saying, “I have someone who wants to say happy birthday,’ to which Sophie exclaims, ‘It’s Chris Martin!” And Turner has previously admitted that she has long admired Martin.

Martin, meanwhile, just ended an eight-year relationship with actress Dakota Johnson and called off their  engagement in June.

Turner, too, has endured a difficult year. She finalized her divorce from Joe Jonas in 2024 and broke up with British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson in September 2025 after a short relationship.

What makes their connection more personal is not just the fame component, it’s also the feeling of authenticity: two creative people, each changing their life, coming together because of their shared background, and mutual understanding. “It was always friendly… she used to have a bit of a crush on him, so it’s funny and surreal that they actually connected in a romantic way in real life.”

Whether it develops further remains uncertain, but for now, Martin and Turner are reportedly spending time together.
