Sophie Turner was all smiles as she took a relaxing walk with her children amid her ongoing custody battle with her estranged husband Joe Jonas.
The Game of Thrones star, 27, was snapped as she took a stroll in Manhattan while pushing her two daughters - Willa, three, and Delphine, one - in a double stroller. Sophie was seen smiling lovingly at her youngest daughter as she walked beside one of her friends.
Sophie decided on a casual appearance for the outing, wearing grey sweatpants and an oversized blue jumper. She carried her belongings around in a light blue tote bag and accessorised with a pair of black sunglasses. Body language expert Judi James believes the actress was trying her best to reassure her children amid the divorce.

She was seen smiling at her youngest daughter (Diamond / BACKGRID)Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Judi said: "The clue to Sophie's apparently relaxed and cheerful body language here comes from the fact that she has one child facing her on the stroller, meaning her facial expressions and demeanour will probably be more about reassuring the child rather than being an authentic depiction of Sophie's inner emotions." However, she also said Sophie might be finding it useful to stay cheerful.

"The benefit might well be two-way, though. As Sophie looks at the children in the stroller her loving facial expression suggests a sense of pride and pleasure that she might currently feel she's missing from other parts of her life right now," Judi told us.
The actress is getting divorced from Joe Jonas (Variety via Getty Images)Sophie's latest outing comes after she was spotted walking around New York with her legal representatives ahead of "four days of intense mediation" with Joe. The Jonas Brothers singer filed for divorce from Sophie on September 1, claiming their marriage was "irretrievably broken".
The former couple are trying to reach a final agreement regarding the custody of their daughters. Sophie had requested that Joe return their kids to London, as she claims that was their previous plan before the split.
Sophie asked a New York court to order their children back to her physical custody after claiming Joe was refusing to return the children's passports and had them on an "unauthorised" holiday. But it now seems the couple have agreed to keep their daughters in New York City while they work out an agreement.
