Chris Martin and Sophie Turner reportedly went on a ‘secret date’
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner are allegedly trying out a romance in 2025. According to DailyMail.com, Turner and Martin went on a “secret date” that is now coming to light.
This news follows Turner’s breakup from aristocrat Peregrine “Perry” Pearson. The publication notes that the couple was together for two years before calling it quits following a high-society wedding in September. Sources alleged that they saw Turner and Pearson bickering at the event. The following week, Turner allegedly got back on the dating scene to spend time with Martin.
As for Martin, he’s also recently single. He and actress Dakota Johnson split after eight years in June 2025, according to DailyMail.com. While they were engaged for years, they ultimately called it quits.
“Their relationship has been over for a long time; they just haven’t been able to figure out how to make it official,” a source alleged. “Dakota held a flame for them to be together because she loved him so much and loved his kids so much.” The source noted that Johnson was “devastated” to not be around Martin’s children, Apple and Moses, as much moving forward. But she says she wants to remain available for the kids if they need.
Before Martin and Turner’s most recent relationships, both of them were married. Joe Jonas filed for divorce from Turner in 2023 after four years of marriage. Gwyneth Paltrow and Martin officially divorced in 2016 after 13 years of marriage.

Given Martin and Turner’s “secret” date in 2025, fans are now looking at the personalized message in a new light.
Fans dislike the idea of the Coldplay frontman dating the ‘Game of Thrones’ actress
Fans on Reddit aren’t quite sure what to make of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and Game of Thrones actress Sophie Turner’s potential relationship. Several users noted their significant age difference. Turner is 29, while Martin is 48.
“She was 4 when ‘Yellow’ was released,” one user pointed out.
“If it’s true, his daughter Apple is only eight years her junior,” another user noted.
Other fans think Martin and Turner should be free to date, especially if it’s just to get to know each other.
“Going on a date is not the same as exclusively dating,” another user wrote. “Single people go on dates with other single people. That’s kind of how it works.”
Only time will tell whether Turner and Martin pursue an exclusive romance with each other.
