After four years of marriage, the celebrity couple releases a statement about their amicable separation.
In a surprising turn of events, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner, the renowned singer and Game of Thrones actress, have decided to openly address their unexpected divorce. The couple, who had been married for four years, recently made headlines with the news of their split, leading to speculation about the reasons behind it.
Just a day after Joe Jonas filed for divorce in Miami, citing that their marriage had become “irretrievably broken,” Sophie Turner took to Instagram to release a joint statement. The statement reads, “After four wonderful years of marriage, we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage.
In his divorce filing, Joe emphasized the importance of shared parental responsibility, stating, “It is in the best interests of the minor children that the parties have shared parental responsibility.”
The status of their relationship had been a subject of mixed reports, particularly after Joe was reported to have sought legal counsel from divorce lawyers in Los Angeles. At one point, Joe seemed to address the rumors by sharing a photo on Instagram, proudly displaying his wedding band without any caption. This post initially appeared to be a clear statement against the speculations.
However, within 24 hours of this cryptic Instagram post, Joe officially filed for divorce, leaving fans and the public with questions about the timeline of their decision.
Joe, 34, and Sophie, 27, initially met in 2016 and announced their engagement in the following year. They surprised the world with an impromptu wedding in Las Vegas on May 1, 2019, followed by a more elaborate celebration in the South of France the following month.
As fans and followers of the celebrity couple grapple with the news, the joint statement provides insight into their united choice to end their marriage amicably, putting the best interests of their relationship and family at the forefront.
