A Look At Sophie Turner's Dating History Before Joe Jonas

Long before Sophie Turner ever became Mrs. Joe Jonas, she enjoyed a relationship with James McVey, lead guitarist for The Vamp — a British rock band who’ve been around since 2012. As noted by The U.S. Sun, Turner and McVey had a short-lived summer romance in 2014. The stars met over social media and then took a public stroll through the British Summer Time Festival in July, per Candy Mag. The outlet inserted McVey’s tweet publicizing their Summer date. However, sources assured fans that they weren’t rushing into anything serious. “She has just really broken into the big time through ‘Game of Thrones’ and James and his band are constantly traveling to gigs,” an insider shared with The Sun (via the Daily Mail). “So they’re taking it pretty slowly but they do really like each other.

Unfortunately, Turner and McVey broke up a few months later. At the time, a since-deleted tweet by McVey forewarned a messy breakup. However, he’s since debunked that rumor.”So Sophie and I, we actually parted really amicably, and the stuff that was all on Twitter was a joke between me and her,” shared McVey with The Sun in 2018. “We were actually still together when we did all that.” McVey also proved he wasn’t harboring any ill will towards Turner by congratulating her upcoming nuptials to Jonas. “I’ve spoken to her a couple times since [she got engaged],” said McVey. “I’m really happy for them.”
