All About Sophie Turner’s Ex-Boyfriend, Peregrine Pearson
In early December 2023, Sophie Turner was seen with rumored love interest Peregrine “Perry” Pearson, kissing him in London. The couple ultimately ended up dating for over a year, splitting for good in September 2025. Here’s everything we know about Peregrine Pearson and his connection with Turner.
Who is Peregrine Pearson?Pearson is an aristocrat, officially the heir to the 4th Viscount Cowdray, which is a county in Sussex. After inheriting, he’ll be the 5th Viscount Cowdray, and his official full name is Hon Peregrine John Dickinson Pearson. However, he goes by Perry.
Pearson has a degree in business, management, and marketing from the University of West London. Peregrine’s family has a very high net worth, reportedly over $270 million, and own large family estates.
They have been converting some of them into businesses, turning the Cowdray Estate into a location for a Polo Club, a farm shop, café, golf club, and cottages. Pearson started as the director at Cowdray Estate in 2016, according to his LinkedIn, and became the director of Weetman Developments in 2019.
“Traditionally, estates were run like holiday homes,” Pearson told The Gentleman’s Journal. “Someone got very successful, bought a home, and then used it as a way of doing whatever they wanted—polo, shooting, fishing—without really having to pay.”
He added, “But the dream is to pass it on to my son or daughter in better nick than it’s in now. That’s the mentality when it comes to estates. You’re so grateful that you’ve been given this opportunity, you want others to have the same opportunity that you had.”
While he’s willing to talk business, Pearson has a private Instagram and rarely shares much about his personal life.
That said, Pearson dated King Charles III’s goddaughter, Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece and Denmark. They were first linked in 2020, but when he was not at her 27th birthday in July, it was rumored they split.
