Speaking to TMZ about the split, an insider said Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner had ‘different lifestyles’, with Joe preferring to ‘stay at home’, while Sophie enjoyed going out.

The portal added that Joe wants a judge to establish a parenting plan between him and Sophie that allows for ‘frequent and continuing contact with both parties’.
The report added that as per Joe’s divorce documents, the two children have been residing with him in Miami, as well as ‘other locations throughout the United States’. Joe has reportedly been taking care of the children pretty much all of the time over the last three months. In other words, he’s been taking them with him during the ongoing Jonas Brothers’ tour.

Sophie is poised to keep the money she pocketed from starring in eight seasons of the hit series Game of Thrones, as well as ‘any residuals from her acting career’. Joe and Sophie reportedly sold their home in Miami in early August for a reported $15 million, which saw them profit $4 million after purchasing it in 2021. It is not known where they’ve been living since, or if they own any other properties together.
Page Six reports the decision was a ‘last resort for Joe’ following months of feeling ‘unhappy’.

An unhappy home isn’t a home, and the truth is that he and Sophie were going through it this year. It just kept building, and Joe finally reached a point where he felt that he had exhausted all options to salvage the marriage.”
