Chris Martin and Sophie Turner have reportedly developed a budding romance after spending time together in London, where they bonded over their shared British roots and love for music. According to Us Weekly, the Coldplay frontman and the Game of Thrones actress have been on several dates after meeting through mutual friends in the music industry.
An insider revealed that the pair share instant chemistry and plenty in common, describing their connection as “very natural.” “They have gone out on a few dates in London. It is still very new, but they have a lot of chemistry, and there’s a definite spark between them,” the insider shared. “They have a lot in common, and Chris is definitely her type. They have bonded over being British and their love for music.”
Both Martin and Turner are recently single following the end of their previous relationships. Earlier this year, Martin separated from actress Dakota Johnson after several years together. Turner, meanwhile, ended her two-year on-and-off relationship with British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson.
The two stars reportedly knew each other before, having met during Turner’s marriage to singer Joe Jonas, though their relationship was said to be “always friendly” at the time. The insider noted that Turner has admired Martin for years and had even joked about having a crush on him long before they connected romantically.
“Sophie has always admired Chris and was a big fan of both him and his music long before they ever met,” the source explained. “She’s even joked that 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.”
Martin, 47, and Turner, 29, have both kept their personal lives private in recent months, with neither publicly commenting on their rumored relationship. However, sightings of the pair at intimate dinners and low-key outings in London have fueled speculation that a romance is blooming.
Friends close to the two stars say the connection feels effortless, with Martin’s easygoing personality and Turner’s humor complementing one another. “They enjoy spending time together, and things just seem to click,” said another source familiar with the situation.
While the relationship is still in its early stages, fans have already taken notice of the unlikely pairing, curious to see whether this London spark will turn into something lasting for the two British stars.
