Although she plays the ridiculously unlucky-in-love [Sansa Stark](http://time.com/4818170/game-of-thrones-sansa-stark-costumes-photos/) on [_Game of Thrones_](http://time.com/4429346/game-of-thrones-season-7-cast-news/), [Sophie Turner](http://time.com/4773779/game-of-thrones-sophie-turner-sansa-stark/) seems to be over-the-moon for her real-life boyfriend Joe Jonas. During a recent interview with [_Marie Claire_](http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/news/sophie-turner-interview-518581), the 21-year-old actor said she is “very happy” dating the DNCE frontman.

However, she did reveal one downside to their relationship. “You do feel like you’re living in a fishbowl,” she said of being part of a celebrity couple. “It’s frustrating \[that\] it’s the most mundane things that make the news—how boring!”

Turner explained she doesn’t even need to be out with Jonas to receive unwanted attention. “I find it really rude, and I will be rude back,” she said, referring to fans who try to secretly take photos of her. “It’s such an invasion of privacy. I could be out with my mum on her birthday and I will ask them to delete it. I would much rather them come up and ask for a photo. I will probably be fine with it…unless I look s—t!”

As for her and Jonas’ fan moniker “Jophie,” Turner said she’s more on board with the nickname for her friendship with _Thrones_‘ co-star [Maisie Williams](http://time.com/4689569/game-of-thrones-maisie-williams-sophie-turner-friendship/) — who plays her onscreen sister Arya Stark. “I prefer “Mophie,'” she explained. “What’s that thing they say? Relationships come and go but friendship is always there.”
