Sophie Turner's blossoming new romance with Peregrine Pearson is more than just a fling - with insiders claiming she is 'finding herself' through the British aristocrat amid her shock divorce from Joe Jonas.
A source close to the 27-year-old actress exclusively told DailyMail.com that she and Peregrine, 29, are well and truly in the 'honeymoon period' and that he has been helping her heal from the breakdown of her four-year marriage.
The latest insight comes after Sophie and Peregrine spent the weekend at Blenheim Palace in Oxford with a group of friends, just days after they were pictured sharing another passionate public kiss.
'Sophie has been hurt by her breakup with Joe, and hanging out with Perry has really set her mind at ease,' the insider said.

The new couple appeared to confirm their relationship last week during a romantic stroll
'At first, she thought it was going to be nothing more than a fling and she was having fun as it took her mind off her struggles with Joe and the divorce.
'Then she realized she had to stop feeling bad for herself and embrace that Perry kept pursuing her. Then she started thinking about him more and more and enjoyed all the fun he has been providing her.'
They added: 'Whatever you want to call it, the honeymoon phase or puppy dog love, that is what it is right now.
'To be with someone, especially over the holidays, and to be happy is the best medicine Sophie can have right now.
'She is finding herself again through Perry, she is smiling again.'
Sophie and Peregrine looked every inch the loved-up couple as they enjoyed a weekend away in the countryside with friends.
The pair were invited to spend a few days at Blenheim Palace in Oxford by the Marquess and Marchioness of Blandford, where they enjoyed a hunting session on their sprawling grounds.
In images posted by fellow guest Jemima Herbet on Instagram, Sophie and her British aristocrat boyfriend were seen smiling for the camera.

Their latest loved-up outing came months after they were spotted kissing in Paris in October
While other guests wore traditional waxed jackets and tartan blazers, the Game of Thrones actress looked chic in a cropped black puffer jacket, blue jeans and green wellington boots.
The A-List actress swept her blonde hair up into a ponytail and wore minimal makeup for the excursion.
In another photograph, Sophie - who announced her separation from Joe, 34, in September - sat with her friends while Peregrine posed with his friends behind her.
The actress' new love interest is the eldest son and heir of Michael Pearson, the 4th Viscount Cowdray - a former film producer who owns a significant chunk of the Pearson media empire.
While Sophie is said to be worth a whopping $10million, this pales in comparison to Peregrine's family fortune, which is thought to be in excess of £224 million ($273 million).
Sophie and Peregrine were first spotted kissing in the French capital during the World Cup in October, just two months after she confirmed her separation from Joe.
They were pictured kissing in public for a second time during a nighttime stroll in London last Thursday.
Joe, who has daughters Willa, three, and Delphine, one, with Sophie, was initially displeased when pictures emerged of his former wife and Peregrine, with sources close to the star claiming he felt it was 'too soon' after he filed for divorce.

The aristocrat had been dating Olympia, a 27-year-old model
But the singer has seemingly done a U-turn, and is now fully 'supportive' of her decisions, with a separate source telling DailyMail.com last week: 'Joe supports whatever choices she makes and if she is happy, he is happy. He loves his
girls and his time with them.
'The two of them have come to a place of mutual understanding and they will always have love for each other.'
The actress, who was living with their two daughters Willa, three, and Delphine, one, at Taylor Swift's apartment in New York at the time, claimed to have discovered through the media that Joe was filing for divorce - and accused him of refusing to hand over their children's passports.
The pair reached a temporary custody agreement in October which they announced in a joint statement.
'After a productive and successful mediation, we have agreed that the children will spend time equally in loving homes in both the U.S. and the UK,' they said.
'We look forward to being great co-parents.'
Peregrine previously dated King Charles's goddaughter, Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece, a 27-year-old model.
However, it emerged in September that they had gone their separate ways after 'growing apart.'
