In March 2017, she announced she had become patron of Women for Women, an organisation that supports female war survivors.[25] In August 2017, Turner said she believed her social media following was responsible for her successful casting in an unnamed project rather than her abilities as an actress, saying, "[I]t was between me and another girl who is a far better actress than I am, far better, but I had the followers, so I got the job."[26] In June 2017, she began a collaboration with Wella Hair, becoming its first international brand ambassador.[27]

In early September 2023, Jonas filed for divorce from Turner in Miami, Florida.[45] This was then confirmed by both Turner and Jonas via Instagram to be a mutual decision.[46][47] Later that month, she sued her estranged husband to allow their daughters, who were born in the United States, to return to the UK, as the former couple had registered the latter as their permanent residence in April earlier that year.[48] Jonas and Turner reached a temporary custody agreement in October.[49] The divorce was finalised in September 2024.[50]
