Chris Martin & Sophie Turner Are Secretly Dating
Martin, 48, and Turner, 29, recently went on a "secret date," according to Daily Mail. Perhaps they're trying to keep things under wraps because of how fresh their breakups are? Chris Martin split from his longtime girlfriend Dakota Johnson back in June, and Sophie Turner recently broke up with her aristocrat boyfriend Perry Pearson in September.
Martin, who was with Dakota Johnson for nearly eight years and had also proposed to her, seemingly likes younger women. Dakota is 36 to his 48. And Turner, who had been married to Joe Jonas for four years, seemingly likes an older man: Jonas is 36 to her 29. Does this mean their near 20-year age gap will survive? Fans aren't rooting for them.
Social Media Reactions
With their budding relationship now making headlines, social media users across platforms are criticizing them for their large age gap. "She's almost the same age as his daughter," one person pointed out on TikTok.
"How can they move on so quickly?" another person asked.
"I want better for her," a third wrote.
"He's too old for her I'm sorry but she deserves someone better fit for her," one comment reads.
"They're almost 20 years apart in age," another person agreed. "Sophie needs someone younger!"
"When Coldplay released their first album, Parachutes, she was 4," one user pointed out.
"She did this to spite Joe and no one can tell me otherwise," a final fan said, referencing Jonas' revelation that Coldplay is his favorite band.
