Sophie Turner shocked fans when she dated Joe Jonas’ ex Taylor Swift last week, but it seems she has another wingwoman who has gone relatively unnoticed so far.
Amid her bitter divorce from singer Joe, 27-year-old Sophie seeks solace with Australian actress Olivia DeJonge, 25.
The couple have been pictured together several times since the Game of Thrones alum arrived in New York City following news that she and Joe, 34, had ended their four-year marriage.
All eyes may have been on Taylor, 33, who spent an evening with Sophie in Manhattan on September 18, just hours before it was announced that she was suing Joe in the hopes of getting her daughters back to her native Britain – but For Olivia it was a permanent fixture.
Most recently, the two women were all smiles as they stepped out together in Tribeca on Sept. 27 to grab drinks at Bubby’s Restaurant on Hudson St.

Olivia DeJonge is an Australian actress best known for her roles in the Netflix series The Society and the hit film Elvis

As a child, Olivia had her first acting opportunity at the age of eight as a radio announcer

The blonde star has landed several film roles in recent years
Olivia is a 25-year-old actress born in Melbourne, Australia, best known for her roles in the ABC1 series Hiding and the short-lived Netflix series The Society.
At the age of five, Olivia moved to Perth, Western Australia with her parents Robyn and Rob, who are real estate and IT investors.
She got her first acting opportunity at the age of eight as a radio announcer for a well-known hardware chain.
With more than 40 radio commercials, she developed into a sought-after young voice actress.
In 2010, Olivia was offered the lead role in Maziar Lahooti’s short film Good Pretender and won the Best Actress award at the 24th Western Australian Screen Awards for her performance.
Four years later, she made her feature film debut in The Sisterhood of Night – a mystery thriller directed by Caryn Waechter – and in 2015 she landed a leading role in the Australian television series Hiding.
She also played co-lead Becca in M. Night Shyamalan’s horror film The Visit and starred in two more horror films the following year: Scare Campaign and Better Watch Out.
Speaking to The West Australian in 2015, Olivia said the desire to be an actress had “always been within me”.
“When I was younger I did a lot of plays, put on shows for mom and dad, made my brother dress up in ridiculous tutus, etc. to perform for them.” I think my preschool report was, “Has a flair for drama” – it was just a small aside.
“It’s always been there.” I think it’s a means of self-expression for me. Somewhere where I can find myself, if that makes sense.
“People like to play netball, people like to play the piano.” “My thing is acting.”
She is perhaps best known for her role in the Netflix series The Society, where she played Elle alongside Kathryn Newton, Gideon Adlon and Sean Berdy.

Although the series was initially renewed for a second season, it was ultimately canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But Olivia’s career went from strength to strength, and the actress landed a role in the 2022 true-crime drama series The Staircase.
That same year, she also got the chance to play Priscilla Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis biopic, in which Austin Butler played the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll.
Olivia was praised by critics, who praised her acting skills and her ability to match 32-year-old Austin’s charisma.
She will next be seen opposite “Stranger Things” actor David Harbor in “The Trashers,” which tells the story of the rise and fall of Jimmy Galante, a garbage magnate from Danbury, Connecticut and partner in the Genovese crime family.
Olivia has been pretty quiet on social media lately, most recently posting a photo of her friend on Instagram on July 30 wearing a black and white T-shirt that read, “Talented but connected.”
Her 398,000 followers were quick to comment on the post, with many raving about Olivia. One person wrote: “I love your films.”
Another fan commented: “Definitely not talentless. Your acting is amazing,” while a third added: “Honey, you’re talented!”

OIivia and Sophie starred alongside each other in the 2022 true crime miniseries The Staircase, and their friendship clearly grew from strength to strength.
The actresses played stepsisters – Olivia as Caitlin Atwater and Sophie took on the role of Margaret Ratliff in the eight-part series, based on Jean-Xavier de Lestrade’s 2004 true-crime docuseries of the same name.
The Staircase also stars Colin Firth, Toni Collette and Patrick Schwarzenegger, and when Olivia spoke to Vogue Australia she described the cast as “crazy” and said: “It was such a masterclass in acting and poise on set. “
The couple clearly bonded outside of the shoot and even celebrated Halloween 2021 together with Joe. Sophie dressed up as Lizzie McGuire, while her now-estranged husband appeared as Paolo Valisari and Olivia transformed into Isabella Parigi – both characters from the hit Disney series .
Months after The Staircase aired on HBO Max, the ladies were spotted hanging out together at events like the Glamor Women of the Year Awards and also at the Vanity Fair Oscar party in March 2023.
Last month, Olivia accompanied Sophie to the opening show of the Jonas Brothers world tour at Yankee Stadium in New York and the two were caught on camera dancing as the boy band took the stage.
But just a few weeks later, Sophie and Joe separated and she confirmed their separation with a statement on Instagram.

It read: “After four wonderful years of marriage, we have mutually agreed to end our marriage amicably.” There are many speculative stories as to why, but it is truly a mutual decision and we sincerely hope that everyone follows our wishes “We can respect privacy for ourselves and our children.”
As the couple works out the details of their divorce, they are also working on custody arrangements for daughters Willa, three, and Delphine, 14 months.
Sophie has been trying to get her children back to England after accusing Joe of withholding her children’s passports. In recent days, the two agreed to a temporary restraining order that prohibits either party from removing the children from the state.
While the couple lives in New York, Sophie had long expressed a desire to return to her hometown during her marriage.
This week it was revealed that she had started proceedings in a British court as she seeks to bring her two children back to England.
It is the latest development in the couple’s bitter divorce saga and could likely further complicate the case, which is currently being heard by three different courts in two countries.
