If children are gifts from God, our favorite quarantine couple Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas have been bestowed with the most beautiful gift ever, a baby girl. We knew that the couple had been expecting their first child for some time now. While the Game of Thrones star and her singer-songwriter husband never really went public with the news, their recent outings offered us plenty glances at Sophie carrying her baby bump with class and ease. TMZ – which came out with the news first – informs us that the star couple has named their daughter, Willa. Read on to find out more.
We have learned that Sophie gave birth to the baby last Wednesday (July 22) at a hospital in Los Angeles. The reps for the couple have confirmed the news to various media portals. “Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas are delighted to announce the birth of their baby,” the statement read.
One of the sources gave a little more detailing to the experience. “The couple is already obsessed and can’t stop gloating about their new addition,” it tells Entertainment Tonight. “The couple is taking time to enjoy this special moment and have only shared the news and updates with family and friends. With the pandemic, Joe and Sophie have been very cautious about who is around them and their little girl.”
There was news last month that the couple had bought a new home in Los Angeles. It’s a baby-friendly space with a lot of room, especially suited to raise children. Given the coronavirus crisis and lockdowns, Sophie and Joe remained careful and refrained from meeting other people. Apart from going out for walks and extending responsible support to the Black Lives Matter protests, the couple has tried to remain indoors through the quarantine period. Thus, they seem well-prepared now for this serious and incredible journey ahead as parents.
The popular couple tied the knot last year with a surprise wedding first in Las Vegas, and then in a bigger ceremony in France; after being engaged for almost two years. The news about the pregnancy had broken out in February this year. And although the two never confirmed or denied the claims, they were clicked while visiting a children’s store in March.
Sophie Turner aka our Queen of the North has been particularly active during this period of COVID-19; constantly reminding people about the importance of social distancing and self-isolation. In one of the video chats with Conan in April, she had revealed that she was enjoying her quarantine with Joe Jonas; who’s otherwise hard to pin down socially. However, being an introvert, she loved staying at home.
It feels almost surreal to see that the little young girl (Sansa Stark) from the first season of Game of Thrones has become a mother now; along with growing into a strong and independent woman. We are extremely happy and proud.
