Bar manager who spent night partying with Sophie Turner before divorce speaks out
The manager from the Birmingham-based bar where Sophie Turner recently enjoyed a night out has spoken out.
In case you missed it, 27-year-old Turner and her husband Joe Jonas, 34, have announced they are divorcing after four years of marriage. The former couple share two children.
In divorce papers filed by Jonas, the singer said their marriage is 'irretrievably broken'.

Following the news, the pair shared a joint statement to their respective social media accounts, that read: "After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage.
"There are many speculative narratives as to why but, truly this is a united decision and we sincerely hope that everyone can respect our wishes for privacy for us and our children."
Just a few days prior to their divorce announcement, Northampton-born Turner was spotted enjoying herself with some pals at Brummie arcade bar, DropShot Digbeth, after filming for her upcoming ITV series, Joan.
It has been reported that the outing may have been the wrap party for the series which saw the star enjoying some cheap as chips cocktails, just a little over six quid a pop, and getting involved in all the retro gaming activities at the buzzing spot including a pretty impressive thwack on a boxing machine.
The bar’s manager Herzon Stephenson - who knocked back some drinks with the Game of Thrones’ star - told the Daily Mail that she seemed ‘happy and relaxed’ during the evening.
“She was great company and a really good laugh,” he told the outlet.
“I couldn’t believe how happy and relaxed she was. You would never have thought that she was going through a divorce.
“We spent a lot of time chatting and drinking because we had a lot in common. I’m from Coventry and she’s from Warwickshire and we were both on the party scene in that area at the same time, so we had some common friends.”
Stephenson said during the course of the evening, the pair spent time 'reminiscing' about 'going out, dancing and getting drunk'.
“She never once spoke about her husband or kids and never mentioned anything about getting divorced,” he added.
Stephenson went on to say it was ‘quite a wild party’ and that Turner ‘really let her hair down’.
"She’s a very down to earth West Midlands girl and doesn’t behave like a big star at all," he said.
"At one point she was trying to organise some karaoke and even joined me behind the bar for a couple of shots."
