Taylor Swift step out for girls night amid actress’ divorce from Joe Jonas
The Jonas Brothers singer, 34, filed for divorce from the “Game of Thrones” actress, 27, in Miami-Dade County court on Tuesday, according to court documents reviewed by USA TODAY.
The petition for dissolution of marriage filed by Jonas states the reasoning as “the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken.”
The couple spoke out in a joint statement Wednesday with posts to both of their Instagram accounts.
“After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage,” they wrote. “There are many speculative narratives as to why but, truly this is a united decision and we sincerely hope everyone can respect our wishes for privacy for us and our children.”
In the petition, Jonas also requests “shared parental responsibilities” between himself and Turner for their two daughters as well as enforcement of their April 2019 prenuptial agreement.
“It is in the best interests of the minor children that the parties have shared parental responsibility,” the petition reads. “A parenting plan should be established, which addresses all parenting issues and contains a timesharing schedule providing for frequent and continuing contact with both parties.”
Their 3-year-old daughter, Willa, and their second daughter, who was born in July 2022 and whose name remains private, have been living with Jonas in Miami “and other locations throughout the United States,” the petition adds. Turner is originally from Northampton, England.
Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner are splitting after four years of marriage.
USA TODAY has reached out to reps for Jonas and Turner for comment.
Jonas and Turner officially married in May 2019 in a low-key, Elvis impersonator-officiated Las Vegas ceremony after the Billboard Music Awards. They followed up with a significantly more upscale wedding in France in July 2019 and brought together family, friends and other recognizable stars to celebrate. READ MORE
