Sophie Turner's Wave That Shook Hollywood: The Mystery Couple Behind the Split

Sophie Turner just dropped a bombshell, and fans are scrambling to figure out which Hollywood power couple she split; (seen in 2019)

Sophie Turner's Bombshell Revelation: Which Power Couple Did She Slay with a Single Wave?

The drama is unfolding, and the speculation is wild! Sophie Turner, 29, unleashed a bombshell on Late Night with Seth Meyers, revealing how a seemingly innocent gesture at the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con afterparty set off a chain reaction that led to the demise of a high-profile Hollywood romance. The Game of Thrones star's shocking confession has left fans scrambling to figure out which A-list couple was affected by her infamous wave.

According to Turner, she had been asked by a friend to say hello to a famous actor who was engaged to another prominent actress at the time (who remains anonymous). Without realizing the potential consequences, Sophie gave the man a friendly wave from across the room. But what happened next is nothing short of dramatic. The bride-to-be stormed over to Turner and delivered an earful: "Can you stop f*ing flirting with my fiancé?" she scolded.

The drama erupted when the Game of Thrones star, 29, laid it all out during a Thursday appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, revealing how a 2014 San Diego Comic-Con afterparty 'quickly went south' over a simple gesture gone awry

Turner was taken aback, having never met the unidentified actor before. "I still have no idea who this man is," she confessed to Meyers, adding with a laugh, "I didn't realize I held this power."

As fans dig through their memory banks, trying to pinpoint which Hollywood couple might have been affected by Turner's wave, several theories are emerging. Some believe it was none other than Emma Roberts and Evan Peters, who had a notoriously tumultuous relationship that spanned seven years. Their on-again, off-again romance was marked by ups and downs, including costarring roles, multiple breakups, an engagement, and an alleged domestic violence incident.

In 2013, Roberts was reportedly arrested in Montreal after a dispute with Peters, but the couple claimed it was just a "misunderstanding." Despite their turbulent relationship, they got engaged in 2014 – the same year Turner attended that fateful Comic-Con afterparty. However, their engagement was short-lived, and they called off the wedding months later.

Some fans threw out wild guesses, joking about Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom ¿ though the timing didn¿t quite match; (seen in 2024)

Even after their breakup, Roberts and Peters were spotted together on multiple occasions, leading fans to wonder if they ever truly parted ways for good. In a 2019 interview with Cosmopolitan, Roberts reflected on the highs and lows of her relationship with Peters: "I'm realizing that life is highs and lows... When you're low, you think it's never going to end. When you're high, you're so scared of it ending."

Meanwhile, another couple that has been mentioned in the speculation is Robin Wright and Ben Foster, who met on the set of Rampart in 2011. They sparked romance rumors in early 2012 but eventually called off their engagement in 2014 – coincidentally, the same year Turner's wave might have had a ripple effect. However, they reconciled briefly before quietly ending another engagement in 2020.

As fans continue to speculate about which power couple was affected by Turner's wave, theories are running wild on social media. Some even joked that Sophie was behind the recent Barack and Michelle Obama divorce rumors (which the couple has vehemently denied). Others floated the possibility that Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth's split might have been connected to Turner's gesture – but that theory quickly got shut down as fans pointed out the couple had already called off their first engagement in 2013.

Longtime Kate Hudson fans know that was the year she ended things with Matt Bellamy ¿ though he's a musician, not an actor; (seen in 2012)

Turner herself remains tight-lipped about the mystery, even hinting at it during her conversation with Meyers. "We were going to have a great night," she said wistfully, before launching into the story of the wave that went awry: "I had brought my best friend from school days and she saw an actor she absolutely loved and asked if I could just say hi... And that was it." But, as fans know by now, it wasn't.

With Turner's revelation sending shockwaves through the entertainment world, it's clear that one of Hollywood's most enduring mysteries is about to be solved. Will we find out which power couple met their demise thanks to Sophie's innocent wave? Only time (and a few more hints from Turner) will tell!

Now, sleuths online are racing to compile their lists of fragile Hollywood romances that might have ended around the same time as Sophie¿s fateful greeting
