Sansa Stark may not have had good luck with marriage on "Game of Thrones," but Sophie Turner has found her perfect match in new husband Joe Jonas.

In a new interview with the U.K.’s Sunday Times, the actress – who has previously been open about dealing with body image issues, depression and suicidal thoughts, says Jonas “saved her life” when she was going through a rough time.

Turner first met the singer at age 20, she "was going through this phase of being very mentally unwell."

"He was, like, 'I can't be with you until you love yourself, I can't see you love me more than you love yourself,'" Turner said. "That was something, him doing that. I think he kind of saved my life, in a way."

She also admitted that the two once broke up for a day, but quickly realized it was a bad idea.

"It was the worst day of our lives," she said. "For a second, we both had cold feet, then 24 hours later we were both, like, 'Never mind.'"

Turner, 23, and Jonas, 29, got hitched in a surprise ceremony in Las Vegas following the Billboard Music Awards on May 1.

"Game of Thrones" ended its eight season-run Sunday night on HBO.
