Yahoo Lifestyle A Year After Their Public Breakup And Custody Battle, Joe Jonas And Sophie Turner’s Divorce Has Officially Been Finalized
A year on from their tumultuous breakup, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner are officially divorced.
In court documents filed on Sept. 6, a Florida judge declared the exes legally single, ruling that their marriage is “irretrievably broken.”
People obtained the documents on Sept. 10 and reported that the details of Sophie and Joe’s divorce settlement are confidential. The filing apparently suggests the agreement is “in the best interests of the parties and this family.”
“The marriage between the parties is dissolved and the parties are restored to the status of being single,” the judge ruled, reportedly allowing the exes to forgo the 20-day waiting period for final judgment.
Neither Sophie nor Joe have publicly addressed the news. BuzzFeed has reached out to their reps for comment.
As you might remember, Joe and Sophie’s split came as quite a surprise in early September 2023 when reports alleged the Jonas Brothers star had hired divorce attorneys. Three days later, on Sept. 6, he filed for divorce after four years of marriage.
The couple — who tied the knot in Las Vegas in May 2019 — subsequently released a joint statement to Instagram, confirming that they had “mutually decided to amicably end” the marriage.
Their statement also mentioned “speculative narratives” about why they may have split but emphasized that it was a “united decision.”
“We sincerely hope that everyone can respect our wishes for privacy for us and our children,” they concluded.
Things then escalated on Sept. 21 when Sophie filed a petition in the Southern District of New York alleging that Joe was preventing their two daughters — Willa, 4, and Delphine, 2 — from returning to their “habitual” home in England by withholding their passports.
Sophie’s petition was filed through the child abduction clauses of the Hague Convention, which seeks to enforce the prompt return of children who have been “wrongfully removed or retained across international borders.”
Joe’s representative vehemently denied that the children had been “abducted,” and the exes subsequently agreed to an interim consent order declaring that they must keep their daughters in the US until further notice amid their custody battle.
In January 2024, the case was dismissed with both parties’ consent, and Sophie and Joe reached a custody agreement.
In May this year, Sophie opened up about coparenting post-split, telling British Vogue: “I’m confident that we can figure it out. Joe is a great father to our children, and that’s all that I can ask for.”
“I’m unhappy with the way everything played out, especially when it comes to my children,” Sophie also said, describing their daughters as “the victims in all of this.” “But I think we’re doing the best we can.”
