Sophie Turner called one of her closest friends, Taylor Swift, a "hero" after being there when she was going through her divorce with Joe Jonas.

"Taylor was an absolute hero to me this year," the actress declared in an interview with British Vogue.

"I've never been more grateful to anyone than I am for her because she took my children and me, and provided us with a home and a safe space. She really has a heart of gold," she added.

In 2023, Turner and Swift made headlines when Turner divorced musician Joe Jonas. During that period, Turner revealed to the publication that she had reached out to Swift for assistance, as she and her two young daughters required a place to stay in New York City.

Swift, who has a place in Tribeca, New York, lent her apartment to the British actress. Since then, the two have been spotted hanging out and going on dates with Swift's other friends in New York. Turner even joined Swift in one of Travis Kelce's games.

A People magazine source revealed that Swift had opened her doors to Turner and had her family live in the apartment rent-free.

"Sophie is doing OK. She is happy to be back with her girls. Working in Europe was very hard for her. She missed her girls," the source revealed. "Taylor has opened her home to Sophie," the source continued. "Sophie is welcome there any time. Taylor continues to be a great friend."

Turner and Swift have been friends since 2017 when the former defended the latter on social media when Swift was added to TIME's 2017 Silence Breakers cover.

The X-Men actress also lip-synched to Swift's hit song "22" to celebrate her birthday in 2018. In 2019, Swift and Turner met at the Graham Norton Show, where many believe their friendship blossomed.

In the years that went by, Swift and Turner had grown very close, even though Swift and Jonas dated at one point in time - Turner even poked fun at that phase when she declared that "Mr. Perfectly Fine," a song believed to be for Jonas, is "not NOT a Bop."

Jonas filed for divorce in September 2023, ending their four years of marriage. Legal documents revealed that Turner had only learned of Jonas' divorce filing "through the media."

In her separate filing, Turner chronicled the "breakdown" of her marriage that happened "very suddenly" after an "argument" on Jonas' 34th birthday. Weeks later, he filed for divorce. The filing also indicated that "the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken."
