Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner are parting ways after four years of marriage and two children together. The Jonas Brothers singer officially filed for divorce on September 5, as reported by Billboard.
In his divorce petition, Jonas cited that his union with the Game of Thrones actress has become “irretrievably broken,” as disclosed by the Today show, which obtained a copy of the filing.
The announcement of their separation came as a shock, given that there were no visible indications of marital trouble, Billboard reports. Turner had been sharing photos of her and Jonas backstage at Jonas Brothers concerts, and she playfully teased him on social media. Even after rumors of their split began circulating, Jonas continued to wear his wedding ring onstage and shared a photo of himself wearing the band just hours before news of the divorce filing emerged.
Despite the end of their romantic relationship, Jonas and Turner had their share of beautiful moments. After Jonas initiated contact with the actress via an Instagram DM in 2016, their love story began. Turner had confessed that she never expected to marry before Jonas came into her life, stating, “I was fully preparing myself to be single for the rest of my life.” Their journey took them from sliding into DMs to two weddings in 2019—a surprise ceremony in Las Vegas followed by an elegant celebration in France. Along the way, they welcomed two children into their lives.

Turner admitted in a March 2020 Elle magazine interview that she had initial doubts about whether it was genuinely Jonas who messaged her. To ensure her safety, she brought along her male friends to their first meeting at a local, lively, albeit somewhat sketchy, bar. Despite her initial skepticism, their conversation flowed naturally for hours, and they quickly became inseparable, even embarking on tour together.
