"I'm quite glad I had that next thing to move on to," Turner said in a new cover story for Elle UK. "If I hadn't found Joe, I think I would have felt quite lost after 'Game of Thrones.'"
"And I did feel quite lost after it finished," she continued. "But it forced me into this new chapter, which was really exciting and something for me to focus on. It was the perfect thing to move on to."
Turner rose to fame as Sansa Stark in the fantasy series "Game of Thrones," which premiered on HBO in April 2011 and concluded in May 2019 after eight seasons.
Turner said that they "talked for hours" at a "local shitty bar," eventually becoming "inseparable."
Turner and Jonas' engagement was revealed in October 2017.
They wed during two events that took place in 2019, not long after the "GoT" series finale aired.
The first ceremony was on May 1, 2019, at A Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas after the Billboard Music Awards, where the Jonas Brothers performed.

In March, multiple publications including Us Weekly and E! News reported that Turner is expecting their second child.
Turner's growing belly was visible in paparazzi photos taken of the couple since then, and the actress showed off her baby bump in her Elle UK photo shoot.
"The greatest thing in life is seeing my daughter go from strength to strength," Turner told the publication. "We're so excited to be expanding the family. It's the best blessing ever."
