Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas met in 2016 when the Jonas Brothers were touring in her native Britain. They agreed to meet at a bar in London's Camden area that the "Game of Thrones" star described as "dirty with great music and people throwing up everywhere" in an interview with ELLE. "I expected him to show up with security and everything. I thought he would be such a d***," she admitted. "He brought a friend and they drank just as hard as the rest of us. I remember us two spending only a couple of minutes on the dance floor, and then we found a space in the far corner and we just talked. We talked for hours, and hours and hours. And I wasn't bored. It wasn't contrived, it wasn't small talk — it was just so easy." Later, they were spotted by fans kissing at a Kings of Leon concert in the Netherlands in November 2016. They're seen here in Paris in March 2017.

Shortly after meeting, Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas were "inseparable," she's said. She even joined him on tour. But while the two wanted to be side by side at all times, they declined to pose for photos together on the red carpet at the Met Gala. But a photographer managed to snap them inside on fashion's biggest night in May 2017.

Less than a year into their romance, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner became parents to pup Porky Basquiat, pictured here in New York City in September 2017. The two adopted another Alaskan Klee Kai that they named Waldo Picasso. Sady, he died after getting hit by a car in July 2019.

In October 2017, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner announced their engagement — she was 21, he was 28 — and shared a photo of the diamond ring he designed. "I was fully preparing myself to be single for the rest of my life," the actress told Rolling Stone, explaining she didn't expect to be engaged so young. "I think once you've found the right person, you just know. I feel like I'm much older a soul than I am in age. I feel like I've lived enough life to know." Sophie wore her engagement ring when she stepped out in Paris with Joe a few months later in March 2018.

Sophie Turner hung with Joe Jonas and his older brother, Kevin Jonas, in London in July 2018. In the Jonas Brothers' Amazon Prime documentary "Chasing Happiness," Joe opened up about the effect Sophie's had on his relationship with his family. "The impact of falling in love has made me want to be a better man, a better person and ultimately made me a better brother," the singer said.

Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas turned up the PDA at the U.S. Open tennis championships in New York City in August 2018. "He's so handsome, he's so talented, he's so funny, he's so charismatic," Sophie later gushed of her love in an interview with ELLE. "How am I with him? So… I don't know. I'm really lucky to be with him and have someone like him want to be around me and spend time with me."

A few months ahead of soon-to-be brother-in-law Nick Jonas's 2018 wedding to Priyanka Chopra, Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas joined the two at a U.S. Open match in September 2018. "It's … nice to have built-in friends," Sophie told ELLE of in-laws Priyanka and Danielle Jonas, who's married to eldest Jonas Brothers sibling Kevin Jonas. "They are actually really cool, and I can hang out with them. We can talk to each other about how crazy the boys' lives are — we can relate on so many different things. It's, like, thank god, because you never know about your in-laws."

Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas, seen here in Los Angeles in October 2018, were in wedding-planning mode ahead of Nick Jonas's December nuptials in India. In November 2018, news leaked revealing that Sophie and Joe planned to marry in France the following summer.

In December 2018, Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas celebrated at Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra's lavish nuptials in India. "When we went there for her and Nick's wedding, we were treated like royalty," Sophie, who was a bridesmaid, later recalled to ELLE. "They worship her over there. It's crazy. But she's just the nicest person, and they only live 10 minutes away. And even though Kevin and Danielle live in New Jersey, we see them all the time. We're all one big family because the boys are best friends."

Before Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner tied the knot, they briefly questioned their relationship. "It was the worst day of our lives," Sophie (seen here with Joe at a pre-Grammys party in February 2019) told The Sunday Times. "For a second we both had cold feet, then 24 hours later, we were both, like, 'Never mind.'" The two also struggled with Sophie's mental health issues stemming from being the spotlight since she was a young teen. "He was, like, 'I can't be with you until you love yourself, I can't see you love me more than you love yourself.' That was something, him doing that. I think he kind of saved my life, in a way."

Six years after the Jonas Brothers parted ways as a band, its members confirmed they were back together in February 2019. Joe Jonas has admitted he struggled with his relationship with siblings Kevin and Nick following the split, but Sophie Turner (seen here with Joe at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party a few weeks before the big reunion was announced) provided necessary guidance. "It encouraged me to see she had such a great relationship with her brothers," Joe told Harper's Bazaar. "That was really a big thing for me to be able to look at and say, 'I gotta get my s*** together.'"

While Sophie Turner has been supportive of Joe Jonas's music with his bands DNCE and the Jonas Brothers, she's admitted she wasn't always a fan. "My friends and I were not Jonas Brothers fans," she told ELLE. "There was this band in the U.K. called Busted. They had a hit called 'Year 3000.' It was amazing, and we were huge Busted fans. Then the Jonas Brothers covered the song and made it massive. And Busted broke up. We thought it was all the Jonas Brothers' fault. So we hated them." However, today her tune has changed, and she names "Fly With Me" and "Hesitate" as her favorite songs by her husband and brothers-in-law. Sophie and Joe are seen here at her "Game of Thrones" season 8 premiere party in New York City in April 2019.

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner surprised fans when they got married in Las Vegas following the Billboard Music Awards on May 1, 2019. (They're seen here at the awards show shortly before they exchanged vows in front of an Elvis impersonator.) The two tied the knot at A Little White Wedding Chapel in front of guests like Diplo (who livestreamed much of the nuptials), Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra, Kevin Jonas and country singers Dan + Shay, who performed their song "Speechless" as Sophie walked down the aisle in a white jumpsuit by Ukranian brand Bevza. "We had to do a legal marriage before we did a real big one," Joe later told Harper's Bazaar. "It was either the courthouse, or our version, and I preferred our version: friends, Elvis and Ring Pops."

In May 2019, Sophie Turner's vehicle to fame, "Game of Thrones," aired its much-anticipated series finale. "When you realize @GameOfThrones is over vibes…. Congratulations to everyone that worked on this incredible show! life changing television," Joe Jonas tweeted after the finale. "I have you to thank for introducing me to the incredible @SophieT long live the QUEEN OF THE MF NORTH." They're seen here several weeks later at the Los Angeles premiere of Joe's Jonas Brothers documentary, "Chasing Happiness."

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner got married for the second time in the South of France on June 29, 2019. The extravagant and formal affair was attended by VIP guests like Maisie Williams, Ashley Graham, Kevin Jonas, Nick Jonas, Priyanka Chopra and the couple's beloved pup Porky Basquiat. They're seen here walking around Paris a few days before wedding No. 2.

Marriage suits the couple. "I feel as though the only thing that's changed for me is having this incredible sense of security," Sophie Turner told ELLE in April 2020. "Just the word 'husband' and the word 'wife' — they solidify the relationship. I love being married. I think it's wonderful. I'm sure we'll have our hiccups, but right now the security and the safety are everything." She and Joe are seen here in New York City the month after their second wedding in the summer of 2019.

In mid-February 2020, news broke revealing that Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas were expecting their first child together. The couple — photographed here on Feb. 28, 2020 — declined to comment on the news and let Sophie's loose fitting clothing do the talking.  

Sophie Turner enjoyed quarantining with her new husband during the spring and summer of 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic. "I'm an introvert; I'm a homebody," the then-pregnant 24-year-old actress told late-night Conan O'Brien in an interview. "If I could stay at home all day, I would so this is great for me. I leave the house once a day anyway to walk my dogs and then that's it so. I see how people are finding it difficult, but I don't understand how people are really struggling to practice social distancing. I'm like, all you have to do is stay at home and like, get drunk at home, right?" Of Joe Jonas, she said, "Everything seems to be working in my favor here because Joe's a real social butterfly so I struggle to lock him down and have him just spend time with me so it's like prison for him [being in quarantine], but it's great for me." Joe shared this selfie with Sophie on Instagram in March 2020 to mark International Women's Day.

On July 22, 2020, Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas welcomed their first child, a daughter they named Willa. While the two were photographed throughout the pregnancy wearing COVID-compliant face masks and with Sophie's growing bump on display, they never spoke publicly about the pregnancy. However, they did finally formally confirm things post-birth, with their rep telling People magazine in a statement five days later, "Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas are delighted to announce the birth of their baby." The new parents are seen here walking on a beach in Santa Barbara, California, two months before Willa's arrival.
