Game of Thrones actor Sophie Turner (29) and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin (48) have reportedly started dating after their recent breakups.

Relationship timeline
What we know about Turner's split from Pearson
Turner and Pearson, who started dating in 2023, were last seen together at the Glastonbury Festival in June. Their breakup was reportedly finalized after they attended a high-society wedding in late September and were seen bickering at the event.

Meanwhile, Pearson has also seemingly moved on, as he was recently spotted with a blonde companion resembling Turner.
Relationship history
Martin and Johnson's relationship timeline
Martin and Johnson's eight-year relationship ended in June. The couple had been facing strain for months before their split. A source told MailOnline, "They just have not been able to figure out how to make it official. Dakota held a flame for them to be together because she loved him so much and loved his kids so much."
Parenting
The couple is parents to 2 children each
Martin shares two children, Apple (21) and Moses (19), with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow. Turner is a mother to Willa and Delphine, her daughters with ex-husband Joe Jonas. Their 2019 Vegas wedding ended in divorce four years later, after a lengthy custody battle. So, it's still early to suggest if Martin and Turner are going to stick as a couple, but things are definitely heating up.
