Is Peregrine Pearson dating Sophie Turner?

British actress Sophie Turner and British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson have been romantically linked to one another for months since being caught embracing out and about in Paris in October 2023.

Now the pair seem to have confirmed dating rumours as Sophie shared photos of them enjoying a skiing holiday together on her Instagram which she tagged his account in - although his page is still private!

When the pictures of them in Paris first emerged a source told the tabloids: "They arrived together at the chauffeur pick-up location outside of the station [in Paris]. It looked like they might have both come on the Eurostar from London."

Sophie is currently said to be filming a new show in England so it would make sense if she and Peregine sparked a new romance on British soil.

“They stood there for a few minutes and were chatting and laughing a lot," the source continued before adding: “He then took his hat off and leaned in to give her a big kiss. After the kiss they parted ways.”

How old is Peregrine Pearson?

Born 27 October 1994, Peregrine is 29-years-old.

How is Peregrine Pearson an aristocrat?

Peregine is a British aristocrat because he was born into the Pearson family which is an extraordinarily wealthy family said to be worth a whopping £224 million ($279 million).

His father Michael Pearson, 79, is the fourth Viscount Cowdray after inheriting the estate of Cowdray in West Sussex when his father, John Pearson, died in 1995. According to Google, a viscount is a British nobleman ranking above a baron and below an earl - pretty fancy!

As the eldest son in the family, Peregine is heir to his father's title and would become the fifth Viscount Cowdray after his father's passing.

The Pearson family own a 16,500-acre estate which they've owned for well over a century.

Their estate is now primarily used as a wedding venue and also as a polo club, which has accommodated royals such as Prince William and Prince Harry.

Peregine's ancestor Samuel Pearson founded the firm Pearson plc, which was initially a construction company but is now known as a publishing and education company.

Who is Peregrine Pearson's ex-girlfriend?

Peregrine's ex was the goddaughter of the UK's current King, King Charles III. Her name is Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece and Denmark. She is the granddaughter of Constantine II of Greece, the last King of Greece.

They dated for three years, starting in 2020, and their split was reported in early 2023 by the MailOnline.

'Perry' looks to have ended 2023 with a new beau, and after some fun skiing snaps it seems at the start of 2024 he and Sophie are still going strong.
