Rumors are heating up about an unexpected new celebrity couple: Coldplay’s frontman Chris Martin and Game of Thrones actress Sophie Turner. Several media reports say the pair has been spotted on a series of secret outings in London, fueling speculation of a burgeoning romance between the 48-year-old musician and the 29-year-old actress. Sources close to them say that Martin and Turner were introduced through mutual friends in the music world, and after recent breakups, their bond deepened pretty fast.
Both stars have been through relationship changes this year: Martin reportedly split from long-time partner Dakota Johnson, while Turner recently ended her brief romance with British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson. According to sources, the two started hanging out shortly after their break-ups, and their chemistry was “instant and undeniable.”
Witnesses have spotted the couple dining discretely at several high-class London restaurants. However, even as Martin and Turner have refused to confirm the rumors, several tabloids say the two have been in close correspondence for weeks. “They’ve gone out on a few dates in London,” a source told Us Weekly, suggesting that the connection is more than casual.
Interestingly, Turner was a very longtime fan of Coldplay. Friends close to the actress described her being a huge admirer of Martin’s music for years, which makes this new friendship-possibly romance-even more special.

Whether this will be a passing flirtation or blossom into a full-fledged romance, one thing is for sure: London’s cool autumn nights just got a little warmer with whispers of Chris Martin and Sophie Turner’s rumored romance.
