Joe Jonas, 34, and Sophie Turner, 27, have officially announced their divorce after four years of marriage. In a joint statement shared on both of their Instagram accounts, the couple expressed that they have made this decision together.
Despite numerous speculations regarding the reasons behind their divorce, the couple emphasized that it was a united choice and appealed for privacy, especially for the sake of their children.
Keeping It Private
The statement, which marked the couple’s first public comment on their divorce, reads, “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.”
The pair turned off the comments on their respective posts to maintain their privacy further. This announcement came shortly after Joe Jonas filed for divorce from Sophie Turner in Miami. The legal documents cited that the marriage was “irretrievably broken.”
Prenuptial Agreement in Place
Jonas and Turner had a prenuptial agreement in effect, as per the divorce filing. The couple tied the knot in 2019 after nearly three years of dating, celebrating their union with two weddings—one in Las Vegas and another in France. They have two children together, Willa, 3, and a second daughter, referred to as D.J. in the divorce documents, born in July 2022.
Reports of Separation
News of their divorce followed reports that Joe Jonas retained a divorce lawyer while wearing his wedding band. Sources revealed that the couple had been living separate lives for several months, even spending most of the summer apart. While their relationship had been strained, they were trying to approach the divorce amicably.
Regarding custody arrangements, the insider stated, “As far as custody goes, this literally all just happened, so they’re figuring it out in real time. They did have a prenup. As a family, they were based in Florida. The kids were with him the last few months, traveling with him with family while he’s been on tour. Sophie’s been working in the UK.”
Joe Jonas asserted in his divorce papers that their two daughters have primarily been living with him lately. Representatives for Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner have not responded to requests for additional comments, leaving fans and the public waiting for further updates on this surprising divorce announcement.
