Joe Jonas And Sophie Turner's Relationship
Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner were first linked after being spotted at a Kings of Leon concert in late 2016. The two celebrities were spotted kissing, but they waited to confirm their relationship until the new year.
After becoming Instagram official, Jonas and Turner were not quiet about their relationship. They sat front row at Paris fashion week in 2017. They attended the Marc Jacobs after party of the Met Gala that year together as well.
After almost a year of dating in the public eye, Joe Jonas popped the question. Their engagement party included many other celebrities, including Ansel Elgort, Ashley Graham, and Tom Holland.
Before they were even engaged, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner were expanding their little family. They adopted their first dog in mid 2018, and they added a second dog in early 2018.
Jonas and Turner chose to have a surprise wedding ceremony in 2019 following the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas. Diplo filmed the entire ordeal and shared in on Instagram Live. The happy couple used Ring Pops for the ceremony.
Later that year, the celebrities had a formal and extravagant wedding in Southern France.
Since tying the knot, Jonas and Turner have welcomed two daughters. Willa was born in the summer of 2020, and their second daughter was born in the summer of 2022. The couple decided not to reveal the name of their second child, and it still remains a secret.
Sophie Turner Wants To Return To England
Though Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner settled into life in the United States with their two children, Turner has expressed her desire to return to the England.
Turner is from the U.K., and the vast majority of her support system is still across the pond.
"I miss England so much. The people, the attitude, everything," Turner told Elle UK. "I'm slowly dragging my husband back. I really love living in America but, for my mental health, I have to be around my friends and my family."
Turner also expressed her desire to raise her children in England.
"And also for my daughter," Turner continued, as she only had one child at the time of the article's publication. "I would love her to get the education and school life that I was so lucky to have."
For Turner, England "would ideally be the final destination" for her, Jonas, and their two daughters.
Joe Jonas Files For Divorce From Sophie Turner
News broke in September 2023 that Joe Jonas was filing for divorce from Sophie Turner. The couple have reportedly been struggling greatly over the past several months, but everything came to a head in September when Jonas began meeting with divorce lawyers.
According to TMZ, Jonas' decision to file for divorce came about after watching a video of Turner. He reportedly had access to a Ring Camera, and whatever he saw or heard confirmed for him that their marriage was over. What it was exactly has not been revealed to the public.
Jonas has also been the sole parent to the two children he shares with Turner for the past three months due to her work schedule. Turner has been in England filming, and Jonas has been forced to drag their children around the country while he tours with his brothers.
The distance certainly did not help the situation, and fans suspect that Turner's extended stay in England reminded her of what she was missing out on.
As always, it is not simply one thing that leads to divorce. Jonas and Turner reportedly live very different lifestyles. Other sources report that Jonas was not supportive of Turner after the birth of their second child and pressured her to attend events she was uncomfortable attending.
Jonas and Turner addressed their separation on September 6th, 2023 in a joint statement.
"After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage. There are many speculative narratives as to why but, truly this is a united decision, and we sincerely hope that everyone can respect our wishes for privacy for us and our children."
How Will Joe Jonas And Sophie Turner Co-Parent?
Divorcing is never easy, but that is particularly true when children are involved. As previously stated, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner have two very young daughters. At the time of this writing, their daughters are three years old and one year old.
One problem Jonas and Turner have is their complicated work lives. Jonas is obviously a very popular musician, as he is a member of The Jonas Brothers alongside his siblings. Turner, for her part, is a very successful actress. After making it big on the HBO series Game of Thrones, Turner has continued to act steadily and in many high profile roles.
Currently, Jonas is on tour and Turner is filming in England. They have agreed for the time being for their daughters to remain in the United States with Jonas as they have "more support" with him.
A source spoke to People about the decision for the children to stay with Jonas.
"She has been shooting which is why the kids have been with Joe. It's just easier because she's been working for the kids to be with him because there's some more support at home and on the road with his family. It's something they both agreed was best."
A formal custody agreement is likely on the horizon for Jonas and Turner, and it can be assumed that they will have at least a somewhat equal agreement regarding time with their daughters.
