Game Of Thrones bestie Maisie Williams has reacted to Sophie Turner's announcement of her divorce from Joe Jonas.
After nearly four years of marriage, Turner, 27, and Jonas, 34, announced their divorce via a joint statement on social media.
Reports suggest that the filing - made in Florida’s Miami-Dade County Court - stated that 'the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken'.
Confirming the split this afternoon (6 September), a joint statement on Turner's Instagram page reads: "After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage.

"There are many speculative narratives as to why but, truly this is a united decision and we sincerely hope that everyone can respect our wishes for privacy for us and our children."
Game Of Thrones co-star and friend Williams - who plays Arya Stark on the show - is BFFs with Turner, known on-screen as Sansa Stark.
While they were only 13 when they both auditioned for the hit show, the pair instantly hit it off and have been mates ever since.
In her interview with Vulture, Turner said: "We're kind of like loners on Game of Thrones, just because the past few seasons Maisie and I have sleepovers every night when we're shooting. Or every night whenever both of us are in town. We just used to sit there and eat and watch stupid videos and smoke weed."
She quickly added: "I don't know if my publicist will kill me for saying this. We'd get high and then we'd sit in the bath together and we'd rub makeup brushes on our faces. It's fun."
Reacting to the news of her bestie's divorce, Williams simply liked the statement post on Instagram, clearly showing her support.
Well, Jonas and Turner first met in October 2016 after exchanging Instagram DMs earlier in the year.
By December, they were exclusively dating one another and announced their engagement in October 2017.
Jonas and Turner then got married at a Las Vegas wedding chapel on 1 May 2019 after the Billboard Music Awards.
They welcomed their first daughter, Willa, in 2020 and their second daughter, whose name has not yet been made public, came last year.
Last November, Jonas opened up about his relationship during an interview with Mr. Porter.
"I want to feel like an open book," he told the publication.
"But when we started dating, I realized that I didn't have a ton of stuff that was just for me.
"And in the end, it makes me a better person to have something for myself."
