Sophie Turner and Peregrine Pearson ‘were chatting and laughing a lot’
An onlooker told The Sun that Turner and Pearson were having a gala time together. After apparently arriving in Paris from London by Eurostar, they could be seen bonding.
The source said they were seen together at the Gare du Nord railway station in Paris.
The onlooker said, “They arrived together at the chauffeur pick-up location outside of the station. It looked like they might have both come on the Eurostar from London.”
“They stood there for a few minutes and were chatting and laughing a lot,” added the source before continuing, “He then took his hat off and leaned in to give her a big kiss. After the kiss they parted ways.”
After the kiss, the pair parted their ways in chauffeur-driven cars, reported the news outlet.
They reunited again at the Stade de France where Turner looked resplendent while unveiling the Rugby World Cup trophy.
More about Peregrine Pearson
The nobleman was previously in a three-year relationship with King Charles' goddaughter, Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece before splitting in the middle of 2023, per Hello! Magazine.
Pearson’s family owns a considerable stake in the education company Pearson and the heir to the Viscounty is all set to inherit the business one day.
Currently, however, he is a director of a property development company in London.
His family home at the Cowdray Park estate in West Sussex is a popular destination for royals as the estate hosts sporting events, that include the likes of golf, polo and shooting matches. Prince William and Prince Harry have previously graced the estate for similar events.
The 22-bedroom luxury estate can also be hired out as a venue for destination weddings and events.
Pearson and Princess Maria-Olympia had started dating in 2020 and he was often featured on her Instagram posts.

However, after the royal couple drifted apart, she has reportedly removed all her posts with Pearson. While the news of their break up predominantly surfaced in September 2023, fans of the couple noticed the aristocrat's absence since the Greek princess’s birthday in July.
Joe Jonas goes treat or tricking with his daughters in New York
Back in the US, Joe Jonas was, however, a hands-on father when he took out his two daughters Willa, three, and Delphine, 15 months, on a stroller and went out for Halloween trick or treating in New York.
Dressed in an attire inspired by a Disney prince, Jonas pushed the fairy tale carriage-inspired stroller to make the Halloween special for the two children.

Jonas filed for divorce on September 5, after which a contentious divorce and custody battle ensued.
While Turner wanted England to be the "forever home" for the children, a custody battle followed.
Jonas's outing with the two children came after the estranged couple reached a temporary custody agreement earlier in October, per Daily Mail.
Per the new settlement, each parent will be granted two weeks at a time with their daughters. The girls will be allowed to travel between US and UK.
In a joint statement, Turner and Jonas said, "After a productive and successful mediation, we have agreed that the children will spend time equally in loving homes in both the US and the UK," before adding, "We look forward to being great co-parents."
