When Joe Jonas filed for divorce from Sophie Turner in late 2023, people were shocked. Not because they split up…
But this happened because of the smear campaign that followed.
Jonas Brother and game of Thrones The alumni were together for seven years. They welcomed two children together and seemed to have a pretty normal romance behind closed doors.
But then when they decided to separate, things slowly took a turn for the worse. Both Joe and Sophie were subjected to nasty things.
Things that haven’t calmed down even a year later. In fact, they might even appear on Jonas’ next album.
So what really happened during Joe Jonas’ divorce? And how are the two of them moving forward? Let’s find out.
Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner divorce: Some mess
The music superstar filed for divorce on Tuesday, September 5, 2023. He immediately hired Tom Sasser, a well-known powerhouse celebrity lawyer. (Remember Tiger Woods’ divorce? Same guy!)
Initial reports about the reason behind the separation left Sophie really upset.
TMZ According to a source, Joe Jonas decided to divorce Sophie Turner because she partied too much.
“He likes to party; she likes to stay home. Their lifestyles are very different,” the insider claimed.
Another source who spoke to the outlet claimed that Joe caught Sophie crossing the line into his home.
“Joe had a Ring Cam, which he said captured Sophie saying or doing something that made him realize the marriage was over,” the report reads.
An insider later revealed our weekly It was actually NBD. Cameras reportedly caught Sophie talking “somewhat negatively” about Joe with a friend, and according to the source, “It was nothing more than that, but it was the final straw.”
To be fair, the suggestion that Sophie was somehow too much of a party girl to stay married struck many as suspicious.
When the situation changed, reports described Joe as “too controlling” and insensitive to Sophie’s needs. At one point, it was suggested that Joe forced Sophie to attend public events even though she wasn’t ready following the birth of their second child.
Taylor Swift joins the chat
People assumed that the “Sophie is the villain” storyline was established early on, in part due to Jo’s own reputation.
The middle Jonas has a history of ending relationships with his romantic partners badly, and the breakup is usually of his own making.
In short, she loves breaking hearts. Just ask Taylor Swift.
Taylor is probably Joe’s most high-profile romance before marrying Sophie. (No disrespect, Demi Lovato!)
When they were very young at the time, Joe dumped Taylor via text message, an act she regretted for years, as the songs Taylor wrote about her and Joe’s reputation followed her into adulthood.
That’s why it was a huge blow to Joe’s confidence in getting public support when Sophie was spotted hanging out with Taylor a week after the divorce was announced. Not only that, it was reported that Sophie and her two kids actually moved into Taylor’s apartment in NYC while Joe waged a custody battle.
Joe Jonas’ baby and custody battle with Sophie Turner

However, as soon as they separated, a custody battle began.
A few weeks after the divorce was announced, TMZ The report states that Sophie has filed legal documents claiming that Joe is “illegally keeping their children in New York City” and that she wants them to return to England with her. According to court documents, Sophie and Joe agreed to make England their “permanent home” with their daughters.
according to TMZSophie agreed “with some hesitation” that Joe let the kids stay with her while she was on tour with the Jonas Brothers, shooting a “very intense” time-consuming series. They reportedly agreed to let Sophie fly to New York to “pick up the kids and return home to England.” However, the doctors allege that Joe “refused to return the passports to the mother and refused to send the kids to England with the mother.”
“Joe is seeking shared parentage of the children so that they can be raised by both their mother and father, and he certainly has no objection to the children being raised in both the US and the UK,” Joe’s representative said in a response to the filing, but the matter is hardly settled.
The case was supposed to go to trial. However, during 4 days of intense mediation, the couple managed to reach an “amicable” settlement. In early 2024, the couple finally arrived at an “agreed parenting plan”.
And thus, the life of co-parenting began for both of them!
