Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner are getting a divorce after several years of marriage. The news first appeared when TMZ reported that Joe had talked to at least two divorce lawyers in Los Angeles. Their sources said he was close to officially filing for divorce.
At that time, the report only mentioned that Joe and Sophie had been facing serious problems for about six months. Later, more details emerged about the issues in their relationship. A source told TMZ, “She likes to party, he likes to stay at home. They have very different lifestyles.” This statement made it seem like enjoying time with friends is a problem for a mother, which is not true.
Joe and Sophie have a prenuptial agreement, and Joe has requested joint custody of their two daughters. Many people were surprised when the divorce news became public. Fans saw Joe wearing his wedding ring during a Jonas Brothers concert on Sunday night. Shortly after, Joe posted a picture of himself on Instagram, wearing the ring. Many fans thought he was trying to stop the rumors with that post.
Sophie Turner Speaks About Her Divorce
Sophie Turner has now opened up about her divorce from Joe Jonas. She talked about how she felt alone in their marriage and how the public treated her after the news broke. Some reports falsely painted her as a mother who only wanted to party and did not take care of her children—3-year-old Willa and 1-year-old Delphine.
In an interview with British Vogue, she shared her feelings about that time. “Those were the worst few days of my life,” she said. She was filming a show called Joan and had to stay on set for two more weeks, so she couldn’t leave. Her kids were in the United States, and she couldn’t be with them.
She said, “I kept seeing articles about me. It hurt because I always think about every decision I make as a mother. Mom guilt is so real! I kept telling myself, ‘None of this is true. You are a good mom, and you’ve never been a partier.’”
Because the divorce case is ongoing, Sophie could not discuss everything. However, she did address how the media tried to portray her as a careless mother.
“I can’t believe how many people make things up based on just one picture,” she said. “A picture may tell a thousand words, but it does not tell my story. I felt like I was watching a movie about my life that I didn’t write, didn’t produce, and didn’t act in. It was shocking. I’m still in shock.”
Sophie also talked about how she processes emotions. “I am not good at dealing with my feelings,” she admitted. “I push them away, and they come back years later as depression or anxiety.” Acting in Joan helped her express those emotions.
She felt grateful for the support she received from people who stood up against the unfair treatment she faced. “If this had happened to me ten years ago, I wouldn’t have had this kind of support,” she said. “I feel lucky to be living in a time when people are more open-minded. Thank goodness for Gen Z.”
The Emotional Struggles Sophie Faced
Even though she had support, this was one of the hardest times in her life. “There were days when I didn’t know if I could make it,” she admitted. “I would call my lawyer and say, ‘I can’t do this. I just can’t.’”
She never felt strong enough to stand up for herself. However, after spending two weeks feeling lost, her lawyer reminded her that she was fighting for her children. “Once someone tells me, ‘Do it for your kids,’ I do it. I wouldn’t do it for myself, but I will always find the strength for them,” she said.
While Sophie did not share every detail of her breakup, she revealed that she often felt isolated while living in the United States. She depended on Joe a lot since he was older.
“When we lived in Los Angeles, it felt surreal, like a dream,” she said. “Because he was older, I felt like he took care of everything. But when I came back home, I realized I didn’t know how to do things on my own.”
Sophie also talked about what it was like to be part of the Jonas family. “There was a lot of attention on the three brothers and their wives,” she said. “We were always called ‘the wives,’ and I hated that. It made us feel like plus-ones. This was not Joe’s fault—he never made me feel that way. But people saw us as just part of the band’s image.”
The couple moved to Miami in 2021, but Sophie still felt lonely. “We lived in a neighborhood full of 50-year-old men, so it was hard to make friends,” she said. “I felt like a bird trapped in a beautiful cage. It was nice, but I had no friends there.”

A Fresh Start in the U.K.
Sophie’s mental health improved when she moved back to the United Kingdom. Even though she was going through a divorce, she no longer needed medication for her depression and anxiety. She credited this to the strong support system she has at home.
“I think I took medication for so long because I didn’t have people around me,” she said. “Now that I’m home, I am the happiest I’ve been in a long time. I feel like I am starting over, discovering what I enjoy, and figuring out who I want to be around.”
Her main goal now is to co-parent her children with Joe in a healthy way. “I don’t like how everything happened, especially since my children were affected by it,” she admitted. “They are the ones who suffer the most. But I believe we are doing our best. Joe is a great father, and that’s all I can ask for.”
Sophie wants her daughters to grow up surrounded by love. “My dream is to have a big Christmas where my daughters can have their dad there, along with Joe’s whole family and their grandparents,” she said. “I don’t care about anything else. I just want my girls to feel loved and know that everyone is there for them.”
