Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) had her first child, daughter Willa, with husband Joe Jonas a couple years back. She’s now pregnant with her second child, and put her baby bump on display at last night’s Met Gala.

Sophie Turner explains how becoming a mother improved her acting
Motherhood hasn’t just changed Turner’s personal life; it’s also affected her career. She opened up about how during an appearance on the Unwrapped podcast.

"As an actor, the only way to become a really brilliant actor is to experience as much life as possible and to bring those experiences in, and so this is just another little part of life that I’m experiencing that I get to bring in and hopefully it helps my performance one way or another."
You can next see Turner in the true crime series The Staircase on HBO Max. It premieres on May 5.
