Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner call divorce ‘a united decision’ in first statement since breakup

It’s officially Joe-ver.
Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner released a joint statement Wednesday to publicly address their divorce for the first time.
“After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage,” the estranged couple said in a post to Turner’s Instagram.
“There are many speculative narratives as to why but, truly this is a united decision and we sincerely hope that everyone can respect our wishes for privacy for us and our children.”
The statemnet came one day after Jonas filed for divorce from Turner in Miami, stating in court documents obtained by Page Six that their union was “irretrievably broken.”
The Jonas Brothers member also said in the filing that his and the actress’ two daughters have been living primarily with him, but he is seeking “shared parental responsibility” after their split.
We reported Sunday that the “Burnin’ Up” singer, 34, and the “Game of Thrones” star, 27, were heading for divorce.
“Joe is exploring the best options for his future,” a source told us.
Meanwhile, an insider told People that Jonas hired a divorce lawyer after TMZ reported that he and Turner had been navigating “serious problems” for at least six months.
Despite the trouble in paradise, the Jonas Brothers member — who shares two daughters, Willa, 3, and a 1-year-old whose name he has yet to share publicly, with the actress — sang a love song for his estranged wife, “Hesitate,” at the band’s concert mere hours after the news broke.
The 2019 track was notably inspired by their romance, which began in 2016.
“It’s like my vows before I wrote my vows. It’s my promise to Sophie,” Jonas said of the tune in the JoBros’ 2020 “Happiness Continues” concert film.
Fans also noticed that the DNCE frontman slipped his wedding ring back on for the show — after not wearing it on previous dates of his Five Albums, One Night tour with siblings Kevin Jonas and Nick Jonas.
Joe and Turner eloped in Las Vegas in May 2019, nearly two years after announcing their engagement.
