Joe Jonas Sophie Turner divorce timeline filing custody lawsuit

Joe Jonas filed for divorce from Sophie Turner after four years of marriage and seven years together. The couple's breakup has been under intense public scrutiny.

In a surprising turn of events, Joe Jonas has officially filed for divorce from Sophie Turner on September 5th. The couple, who married in a surprise ceremony in Las Vegas four years ago, had been together for a total of seven years. Since news of their split broke, the public has been captivated by the details surrounding their marriage and subsequent breakup.

It all began in 2016 when Jonas and Turner first started dating. Turner later revealed in a 2022 interview with Jimmy Fallon that she knew she wanted to marry Jonas from the moment they met. The couple's relationship progressed quickly, and they got engaged in October 2017.

In 2019, the couple tied the knot in multiple ceremonies, starting with a spontaneous wedding in Las Vegas right after the Billboard Awards. They later had additional ceremonies to celebrate their union. The couple seemed to be going strong, and in July 2022, they welcomed their second daughter, whose name has not been publicly disclosed.

However, things took a turn when Jonas filed for divorce on September 5th, 2023, in Miami Dade County, Florida. The petition stated that the marriage between the couple was irretrievably broken. Despite the split, the couple's two minor children had been living with Jonas, and it was deemed in their best interest to have shared parental responsibility.

Both Jonas and Turner addressed their divorce in a joint statement posted on their individual Instagram accounts on September 6th. They emphasized that their decision to end their marriage was mutual and asked for privacy during this difficult time. Jonas also briefly mentioned the split during a Jonas Brothers concert, thanking fans for their support.

In response to Jonas filing for divorce, Turner filed a petition on September 21st in the Southern District of New York. The petition claimed that Jonas was wrongfully retaining their two daughters in New York City. According to the petition, the couple had previously agreed that the children would return to their habitual residence in England, where they would attend school.

Turner's filing stated that she had planned to pick up her daughters after finishing filming a series in mid-September and return with them to England. However, Jonas refused to provide their passports, leading Turner to request the immediate return of their daughters to her home.

In a statement responding to Turner's petition, Jonas's representative explained that the Florida court order restricts both parents from relocating the children. They expressed that Jonas had believed they had reached an understanding during a recent meeting in New York regarding their divorce and co-parenting arrangements.

The statement also disputed Turner's use of words like "abduction" and criticized her petition as misleading. It claimed that Jonas had multiple conversations with Turner about the state of their marriage and that she was aware of his intention to file for divorce.

As this story continues to unfold, it is clear that there are still many details to be revealed. The public will undoubtedly be watching closely as Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner navigate the complexities of their divorce and co-parenting journey.
