After her high-profile split from pop star Joe Jonas, Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner seems to have found solace in the arms of a British aristocrat, Peregrine “Perry” Pearson. And the new romance is garnering a lot of attention.
The duo was first spotted in a romantic embrace in the romantic city of Paris just two months after Turner’s separation from Jonas, and the media has been buzzing with curiosity about the man ever since. So, we are here to help and tell you all about Pearson.
- The aristocratic heir:
Peregrine John Dickinson Pearson, known as Perry, is set to inherit the prestigious Cowdray Estate in West Sussex, Britain, becoming the 5th Viscount Cowdray. While traditionally serving as a family residence, the estate, under Pearson’s vision, has evolved into a multifaceted enterprise. Renowned for its Polo Club, the estate also boasts a farm shop, café, golf club, and cottages, reflecting Perry’s commitment to transforming it into a diverse business hub. In an interview with The Gentleman’s Journal, Pearson expressed his desire to pass on the estate to future generations in an improved state, emphasising the importance of providing opportunities to others, much like the one he was given.
- Entrepreneurial ventures:
A graduate in business, management, and marketing from the University of West London, Perry took on the role of director at Cowdray Estate in 2016. In 2019, he expanded his portfolio by becoming the director of Weetman Developments, a property development company specialising in rentals as an affordable alternative to central locations.
- Royal romance:
Before capturing the heart of Sophie Turner, Peregrine Pearson was in a well-publicised relationship with Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece and Denmark, King Charles’ goddaughter. Their relationship, which began in 2020, ended in 2023, drawing attention when Pearson was notably absent from Olympia’s birthday celebration.
- Passion for polo:
Despite polo being a central attraction at the Cowdray Estate, Pearson, in contrast to his family’s enthusiasm, confessed to not being an expert. In an interview with The Gentleman’s Journal, he admitted to taking lessons and expressed a growing interest in the sport, envisioning himself becoming more involved in the coming years.
- Love his seclusion:
Known for keeping a low profile, Peregrine Pearson has rarely given interviews or shared glimpses of his personal life. With a private Instagram account boasting just over 1,000 followers, including Sophie Turner, he remains an elusive figure, sparking curiosity about the man who has captured the heart of the actor.
- A new chapter in public eye:
The public first caught a glimpse of Sophie Turner and Peregrine Pearson’s budding romance in late October 2023 at the Rugby World Cup Final in Paris. The Sun reported sightings of the couple chatting, laughing, and sharing affectionate kisses outside the Gare du Nord train station. The relationship appears to be progressing, with recent photographs capturing the pair holding hands during a London stroll in December 2023.
