Ending weeks of speculative accounts, Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas have finally confirmed that they’re separating. The news comes after a week of speculations that the eminent couple was on the verge of separating after 4 years and two children.
The couple asked for discretion for their two children even as the court proceedings started in the case. Sophie Turner posted on Instagram that the decision to part with Joe Jonas was amicable and joint. Turner is famous as Sansa Stark in the Game of Thrones. The speculation on their separation gained steam after Joe Jonas was reported to have retained a high-profile divorce lawyer, Tom Sasser.
Sasser was the lawyer who handled Tiger Woods’ divorce from Elin Nordegren and has experience resolving high-profile separations in the celebrity and sports sector. The couple has filed for divorce in Miami-Dade County in Florida.
Joe Jonas Has Asked For Shared Custody Of Their Two Daughters
Joe Jonas is part of the famous boy band Jonas Brothers. In a statement, he said that the marriage was broken irretrievably and confirmed that he had filed court papers for the divorce. He has requested the court to fix a plan for the children that would give the two a shared responsibility as parents. The children would also have frequent and continuous contact with Turner and Joe Jonas.
The couple share 2 daughters, Willa, aged 3, and D.J., aged 14 months. The younger child’s full name hasn’t been shared and the initials are mentioned in court documents. The media reported that the two have gone ahead with their divorce filings. The children are at present with Joe Jonas while Truner is filming for Joan, a crime drama in England.
It must be noted that despite multiple sources reporting their divorce, neither Joe Jonas nor Sophie Turner, nor their representatives, have commented so far on this matter. Joe has reportedly requested shared custody of their two kids. Sources say that difference in lifestyle is one of the main contributing factors that has led to the separation.
