When did Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas file for divorce?

According to reports, Joe Jonas filed for divorce from Sophie Turner on Tuesday, September 5, with the filing claiming "the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken," as reported by PEOPLE.

Before the divorce filing, both parties reportedly had their prenuptial agreements in place. They also had two children, three-year-old Willa and a younger daughter named D.J., in the filings. The second child is only 14 months old.

As per reports, Sophie and Joe have been living separate lives for quite some time now. As of now, the kids are reportedly living with their father.

A source close to the couple, who remains undisclosed, said:

"As far as custody goes, this literally all just happened, so they're figuring it out in real time,...They did have a prenup. As a family, they were based in Florida. The kids were with him the last few months, traveling with him with family while he's been on tour. Sophie's been working in the UK."

The couple tied the knot in 2019, conducting two separate weddings, one in France and one in Las Vegas. They had also dated for another three years prior to that, as per reports.

Throughout their relationship, the couple kept things quite private. In fact, a year ago, Joe Jonas opened up during an interview with Mr. Porter, explaining why he kept their relationship so private.

"I want to feel like an open book,...But when we started dating, I realized that I didn't have a ton of stuff that was just for me. And in the end, it makes me a better person to have something for myself....There have been a lot of situations in my career where, like [Styles], a small thing has been blown out of proportion....It's had this trickling effect, which is partially why I decided to take a mental health break from social media. Now I'm addicted to not knowing what's going on," he said.

His concern was quite visible after the internet blew up with the news of their divorce.

Also, it seems that the divorce will not be messy, with almost all agreements in place and both Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas on good terms with each other.
