Sophie Turner Is Having a 'Hot Girl Summer' with Her Kids and 'Embracing' a 'Lighter, Fresher Kind of Energy'

Sophie Turner is in the midst of a (self-proclaimed!) hot girl summer.

The actress, 28, stars in a new St-Germain campaign, "Spritz Up Your Summer," and dished on how she's spending her first summer since her divorce from Joe Jonas.

Describing herself as "pretty flirty," Turner told Harper's Bazaar that she's "embracing this lighter, fresher kind of energy around me" lately.

"My recipe for a hot girl summer is pretty much playing with my kids, hanging out with my best friends, drinking some cocktails — you know which ones — and enjoying the sun, long may it last," she said, referring to her daughters Willa, 3, and Delphine, 1, who she shares with Jonas, 34. "As long as the sun’s out, I’m a happy chap."

Earlier this month, Turner shared some proof of some of the fun-in-the-sun she's been enjoying in a photo dump on Instagram, which included a look at a romantic, sun-soaked picnic date she enjoyed with Peregrine Pearson, the British aristocrat with whom she's been spending time since November.

The Game of Thrones alum has also been busy at work, as her new ITVX series, Joan — which she was filming when Jonas filed for divorce — is set to premiere in October.

Playing the titular diamond thief in the six-part series was "such a treat," she told the outlet.

"I got to play with really fun ’80s clothes and ’80s personas and makeup and hair, and it was an absolute blast,” she said of taking on the character of Joan Hannington, a real-life diamond thief.

It was extra fun given that Turner is a lover of true crime herself.

"I fall asleep to crime podcasts every single night,” she said. “My friends, if I’m having sleepovers with them, they’ll just get so freaked out by me because they wake up in the middle of the night and it’s like, ‘And then he stabbed her!’ I love it. I love crime. I love anything to do with it. So, making a crime show was such a dream for me.”

Aside from enjoying some romantic picnic dates, Turner and Pearson, 29, had some more fun in the sun as they attended a polo match at his family's estate in West Sussex on June 29. In some cute shots, the aristocrat carried the actress on his back as they made their way across a field, and later held hands while enjoying the day out together.

While Turner has not publicly commented on the relationship, she has posted Pearson on her Instagram several times, including to document a fun ski trip she took with him and other friends in January.

In a carousel of photos she shared on Instagram, the pair were seated beside each other on a ski lift with two friends, and in another photo, they posed together again at the top of snowy mountain. "Jägerbomb anyone?" she captioned the post.
