1 year oldJoe Jonas has filed for divorce from his wife Sophie Turner after four years, with his documents stating their marriage was “irretrievably broken”.
The US singer, 34, issued paperwork on Tuesday in Miami, Florida seeking a dissolution of his marriage to the British actress, 27, with reports citing the Game of Thrones star’s partying as a factor in the breakdown.
Signs are certainly pointing to a non-amicable split, with Jonas having deleted almost all photos of Turner from his Instagram page, as he arms himself with celebrity lawyer Tom Sasser, who represented US golfer Tiger Woods in his divorce.
Speaking to TMZ about the split, an insider said Jonas and Turner had “different lifestyles”, with Jonas preferring to “stay at home” while Turner enjoyed going out.
Despite the seemingly abrupt break-up, the publication further claimed Jonas and Turner had been having problems for around six months.
Page Six reports the decision was a “last resort for Joe” following months of feeling “unhappy”.
“He never wanted to break up his family, but he had to take what he felt was the best course of action for his girls,” an insider said.
“An unhappy home isn’t a home, and the truth is that he and Sophie were going through it this year.
“It just kept building, and Joe finally reached a point where he felt that he had exhausted all options to salvage the marriage.”
The news comes just two days after it emerged the couple was on rocky ground, however, Jonas then hit the stage in Texas afterwards wearing his wedding ring.
The pair appeared solid as little as three weeks ago, when Turner took to social media to celebrate attending the Jonas Brothers’ concert in New York, where she held hands with her husband, wore bracelets with his name and cried happy tears in the crowd as he serenaded her.
Elsewhere in his filing, Jonas stated his two daughters with Turner – three-year-old Willa and a one-year-old whose name is yet to be revealed – had been residing primarily with him in Miami.
Jonas also noted the children had been with him in “other locations throughout the United States”, suggesting their kids had been joining him on his US tour.
He’s seeking “shared parental responsibility” going forward.
The documents, seen by multiple publications including People and TMZ, also divulge details about the couple’s prenuptial agreement.
Per the contract, Jonas will “keep all royalties from the music” he’s created with his brothers, Nick and Kevin Jonas, as well as his previous band, DNCE.
Turner is poised to keep the money she pocketed from starring in eight seasons of Game of Thrones, as well as “any residuals from her acting career.”
Interestingly, Jonas and Turner sold their marital home in Miami in early August for a reported $US15 million, which saw them profit $US4 million after purchasing it in 2021.
It is not known where they’ve been living since, or if they own any other properties together.
Turner and Jonas are yet to comment on the split publicly.
The couple began dating in 2016, and tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in the South of France in July 2019.
