Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas are officially now parents and it sounds like the couple were inspired by Game Of Thrones when it came to picking a name for their newborn daughter.
Sophie, 24, is best known for playing Sansa Stark on the HBO series, ever since it first aired on screen back in 2011.
So naturally, it’s not surprising that the actress found a name for her daughter that is a cute nod to the show that made her a household name all over the world.
Reports revealed that Sophie and husband Joe have reportedly called their baby girl Willa – with fans pointing out that Willa was the name of a Game Of Thrones character.
Two characters in fact. One character named Willa was a wildling that first appeared on Game Of Thrones in season five for two episodes.
The other character named Willa appeared in season eight in The Last of the Starks episode and was a servant at Winterfell, who’s allegiance was to House Stark.
Noting the reference, one fan tweeted: ‘Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas just became parents and apparently their daughter is named Willa. And thats a game of thrones name. And a Stark name. That’s just so cool I can’t. #gameofthrones #joejonas #sophieturner.’
Another said: ‘Omg Sophie Turner has named her baby girl Willa. A complete Got aka A Song of Ice and Fire reference congratulations.’
Reps for Sophie and Joe confirmed the arrival of their baby girl in a statement to People that read: ‘Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas are delighted to announce the birth of their baby.’
TMZ reports that the pair have welcomed a daughter, with sources adding to Entertainment Tonight: ‘Joe and Sophie welcomed a baby girl last Wednesday in LA and are over the moon.
‘The couple are already obsessed and can’t stop gloating about their new addition.’
Joe and Sophie never publicly addressed reports they were expecting their first child. Sophie was later spotted with a baby bump while out and about with Joe during lockdown in LA.
The pair first met in 2016 at the MTV EMAs and began dating the following year.
They tied the knot in 2019 in two wedding ceremonies held in Las Vegas and France.
