After a tension-filled legal process, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner have reached a final divorce settlement. The former couple, who share two daughters, have managed to resolve issues surrounding their split, including custody of their children, after engaging in mediation in October of last year. According to court documents obtained on September 10, 2024, the marriage has been declared “irretrievably broken” by a Florida judge.
Joe Jonas, 35, a member of the ‘Jonas Brothers ‘, filed for divorce on September 5, 2023, marking the end of his four-year marriage to the “game of Thrones “, Sophie Turner, 28. Although the split was initially described as amicable, Turner later revealed that she found out about the split through the media, sparking controversy surrounding her divorce proceedings.
A media divorce
The divorce process between Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner quickly gained media attention, especially due to tensions surrounding the custody of their daughters. Turner, in her court petition filed on September 21, 2023, alleged that the separation was sudden, occurring after an argument that took place on August 15 of the same year. She claimed that Jonas had withheld the girls’ passports, preventing them from returning to England, sparking a legal battle over where the minors should reside.

Shortly afterward, Jonas denied Turner’s allegations, saying the two had agreed to an “amicable co-parenting arrangement,” but the actress changed her mind the next day, requesting that the girls be permanently relocated to the UK. Following several legal exchanges, in October 2023, the couple reached a temporary agreement that allowed the children to remain in New York while the situation was resolved.
The mediation process
Between October 4 and October 7, 2023, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner participated in a mediation process that was key to reaching an agreement on the custody of their daughters. The process included discussions about the future of the girls and their place of residence, with Turner insisting that, by Christmas 2022, they had both agreed that their final home would be in England.
However, this agreement did not materialize, and tensions over the fate of the girls continued for several months. Finally, in early January 2024, Turner withdrew her lawsuit asking for the minors’ passports, paving the way for a smoother resolution. In March 2024, the actress and her legal team asked the judge to reactivate the case, and in May of that same year, Turner told British Vogue how difficult the entire process had been for her daughters. “They are the victims in all of this,” said Turner, who stressed that, despite the difficulties, she was confident that Joe Jonas and she could resolve the matter in a positive way.

The end of Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner’s marriage
The marriage between Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner have been closely followed by their fans since they tied the knot in 2019 in a ceremony in Las Vegas, and later in a more formal wedding in France. For four years, they were considered one of the most beloved couples in the entertainment industry. However, their relationship fell apart in August 2023, just before Jonas filed for divorce.
Despite speculation surrounding the reasons for the split, the singer and actress have been adamant about keeping the motives behind their decision private. In a joint statement, they both said: “There are many speculative narratives about the reasons, but this is really a united decision.” This message was shared on their social media the day after Jonas filed the lawsuit.

Details of the divorce agreement
Although the exact terms of Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner’s divorce settlement have not been publicly revealed, it is known that both agreed that it is “in the best interest of the parties and this family.” This settlement marks the end of a lengthy court process that included several hearings and temporary agreements, and returns both to their single status.
The Florida judge allowed Jonas and Turner to waive the 20-day waiting period required before the final judgment, speeding up the process. The divorce was eventually finalized in September 2024, ending one of the most high-profile splits of the year.
