It’s a tale of love, music, and now, a transatlantic legal drama. Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas, once the picture-perfect couple who tied the knot after the Billboard Music Awards in May 2019, find themselves in a web of divorce complexities. Here’s a deep dive into the unfolding story.
Turner, the British actress renowned for her role in *Game of Thrones*, recently filed a lawsuit against Jonas. Central to the dispute is the couple’s desire for their two daughters. Turner wishes to bring them to the U.K., insisting that they had previously agreed to make England their forever home. This move stems from her belief that her children are wrongfully kept in New York City.
The couple had taken steps toward establishing a life in England. They purchased a picturesque home in the English countryside earlier in the year. Their decision to stay in England was supposedly so intense that Turner had, albeit with reservations, allowed her children to travel with Jonas, given his tour commitments with the Jonas Brothers and her demanding filming schedule for the British series, “Joan.” This arrangement was temporary in Turner’s eyes.
Jonas, however, tells a slightly different story. While he acknowledged the kids have been with him in Miami, he seeks shared parental responsibility. He filed for divorce, describing their bond as irretrievably broken. In response to Turner’s lawsuit, Jonas emphasized that the children had been in his care for three months by mutual agreement and negated any claims of wrongdoing on his part.
Whispers about the couple’s relationship began as early as August. Both were seen without their wedding bands. This led to fan speculation, with some hoping Jonas was debunking separation rumours when he showcased his ring during a concert in Texas.
Their relationship status became public knowledge when they addressed their split with a joint social media statement. They expressed their collective decision to end their marriage after four eventful years and urged privacy for their family.
While Jonas tours with his brothers, Nick and Kevin, Turner has been busy with her project in Britain. In a previous interview, she’d hinted at her desire to relocate to her homeland for personal and mental well-being reasons. England, she felt, was where she truly belonged.
Before they decided to separate, the couple was notably private about their relationship. Jonas had once referred to Turner as the muse behind the Jonas Brothers’ song “Hesitate.” The song encapsulated the essence of love and commitment, making their current situation all the more poignant.
