'Game of Thrones' news: Maisie Williams congratulates Sophie Turner on engagement

It is no secret that "Game of Thrones" stars Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) and Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) are the ultimate best friend goal in real life, despite their love-hate relationship on-screen. This week, Williams once again proved the tight bond between the two actresses with her congratulatory message on Turner's engagement with singer Joe Jonas.

In an Instagram post, Williams reposted the very same photo Turner and Jonas used to announce their engagement last Sunday, Oct. 15.

In the caption, Williams wrote, "Congratulations to my beautiful girlfriend on her engagement. This is just one of MANY life milestones we'll share. Love you both."

The two have indeed shared a lot of milestones together, which includes getting matching tattoos. Turner revealed to Elle UK that they decided to get the tattoo in September last year to commemorate the day they secured their roles for the global hit drama.

"We always said that we wanted them so we got the date 07.08.09 on our arms because that's the date that both of us found out we'd got our roles in 'Game of Thrones,'" the 21-year-old actress said.

They had their tattoos done in Belfast, Northern Ireland when they got a day off from filming. This was announced by tattoo artist Kat Paine on her Instagram account.

Although the two actresses have shown an inseparable bond in the outside world, they have actually spent most of their time apart in the "Game of Thrones" series. The on-screen Stark sisters have been separated since the season 1 finale after their father Eddard "Ned" Stark (Sean Bean) was executed by beheading in front of his two daughters.

After that, the two sisters spent some years apart fighting their own battles. They only got to reunite earlier this year in the fourth episode of season 7, "Spoils of War." That season ended with another execution, but this time the two sisters were united on the winning side.

No confirmed date yet on when "Game of Thrones" will return for its eighth and last season.
