Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas finalize their controversial divorce


Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas are officially ex-spouses.

The “Game of Thrones” star and the Jonas Brothers pop star finalized their divorce in Miami-Dade County, Florida, on Friday. Judge Gina Beovides declared the celebrity marriage “irretrievably broken” and signed off on a confidential settlement between the stars.

Neither Turner's nor Jonas's representatives responded to The Times' requests for comment Wednesday.

Turner, 28, and Jonas, 35, finalized their divorce proceedings five years after tying the knot in 2019 and a year after a custody battle over their two young daughters turned contentious.

Jonas filed for divorce from Turner in September 2023, stating in legal documents that his relationship with the Emmy-nominated actor was “irretrievably broken.” At the time, Jonas’ petition said he and Turner intended to share custody of their children. They welcomed their first daughter in July 2020 and their second two years later.

The divorce was a mutual decision, the exes said in a September 2023 statement aimed at ending “speculative narratives” about the split.[T]“This is really a joint decision and we sincerely hope that everyone will respect our wishes for privacy for ourselves and our children,” they said.

But weeks after the stars presented that unified front, things got tense.

Turner sued the “Sucker” singer for allegedly illegally holding her daughters in the United States and asked that they be returned to her native England. According to court documents, her lawyers cited the 1993 Hague Convention, which addresses in part the international abduction of children by their parents, to make their case.

In October 2023, the “Dark Phoenix” and “Camp Rock” stars reached a temporary custody agreement. Later that month, Turner and Jonas opted to handle the terms of their split privately. Earlier this year, Turner asked a judge to dismiss the child abduction lawsuit against Jonas.

Now that their marriage is behind them, it seems that both Turner and Jonas are turning their attention to their respective projects. Turner currently stars in the ITV1 series “Joan,” where she plays diamond thief Joan Hannington.

Jonas is currently on tour with his brothers Nick Jonas and Kevin Jonas as part of their world tour. They are scheduled to play several shows in the UK this week.
