Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner’s year-long legal battle has finally ended, with the couple reaching a divorce settlement. However, the real story lies in their bitter custody fight over their daughters, Willa, 3, and Delphine, 2. Turner had been pushing to relocate the children to her home country, the UK, while Jonas wanted to keep them in the U.S. This led to a temporary arrangement in which each parent had two weeks with the children, alternating between the U.S. and UK.
During the legal proceedings, Turner went so far as to file a child abduction claim against Jonas, accusing him of violating international law by refusing to let the girls travel with her. Although the claim was eventually dropped, it highlighted the severity of the custody dispute. The couple also worked through mediation in an attempt to keep their issues private, but when no resolution could be reached, the court had to intervene.
The custody dispute revolved around where the children would live full-time, and their differing lifestyles played a significant role in the disagreement. Turner wanted to raise the children in the UK, while Jonas had professional commitments in the U.S., where he spent a significant amount of time on tour.
With the custody issues now resolved, both Turner and Jonas are moving on with their lives. Turner has been linked to British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson, while Jonas has reportedly been dating several high-profile figures. Despite their public and intense custody battle, the two have reached a settlement that allows them to co-parent their daughters.
