Joe Jonas Files for Divorce from Sophie Turner: Marriage Irretrievably Broken (Watch)
Joe Jonas has officially initiated divorce proceedings from his spouse Sophie Turner, asserting that their marital relationship has irreparably deteriorated. The 34-year-old American singer formally submitted the divorce paperwork within a Miami-Dade County courtroom on September 4, officially concluding their four-year union.
According to court documents obtained by DailyMail, Jonas has cited the irretrievable breakdown of his marriage to 27-year-old Sophie Turner, with whom he shares two children. They plan to share custody of their three-year-old daughter, Willa, and their one-year-old daughter (whose name has not been disclosed, but is indicated by the initials D.J.).
In the divorce petition, Jonas’ legal representative has expressed that “It is in the best interests of the minor children that the parties have shared parental responsibility.” He also requests the establishment of a parenting plan and a timesharing schedule, with Miami, Florida, being noted as the primary residence for Willa and D.J.
The legal documents reveal that Joe and Sophie entered into a valid and enforceable prenuptial agreement on April 29, 2019, shortly before their wedding in Las Vegas. However, the specifics of the prenup are not disclosed in the dissolution filing, as both parties’ privacy rights are being protected.
It is worth noting that Joe Jonas does not intend to seek child support from Sophie Turner, as the documents state, “Both parties have the ability to provide for the support of the minor children, and they should both be required to contribute to the support of the minor children.”
Joe Jonas has enlisted the services of West Palm Beach-based attorney Thomas J. Sasser for his divorce proceedings, while Sophie Turner’s business manager, Carrie Malcolm, is listed as her primary contact in the paperwork.
Despite being seen without his wedding ring on August 11, Joe was spotted wearing it during a performance alongside his brothers in Austin, Texas, on September 3.
Joe and Sophie, who began dating in 2016 after being introduced by mutual friends, became engaged a year later. Following two years of engagement and two ceremonies, they officially tied the knot in Las Vegas, followed by a more extravagant wedding celebration in Paris.
