New Delhi: After four years of marriage, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner have parted ways. The 'Game of Thrones' actor announced news of it on social media. The celebrity couple has formally declared their divorce after several days of rumours regarding their marital status.
In addition to not adding a caption, Sophie and Joe both disabled comments on their post. Sophie and Joe urged fans to stay away from speculating on the reasons that led to their choice to divorce, stating that it was a joint decision. The couple has two children together.
Sophie took to Instagram to share the statement which read: "Statement from the two of us: After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage. There are many speculative narratives as to why but, truly this is a united decision and we sincerely hope that everyone can respect our wishes for privacy for us and our children."
Most of their fans were taken aback to hear the news of the couple's separation. In Florida's Miami-Dade County Court, Jonas filed for the divorce to the 'Game of Thrones' actor, according to People magazine. According to Jonas' filing, "the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken."
"It is in the best interests of the minor children that the parties have shared parental responsibility. 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," the documents read.
In October 2017, the couple announced their engagement after first getting in touch via Instagram direct messaging in 2016. On May 1, 2019, Joe and Sophie pleasantly surprised everyone with a wedding in Las Vegas. The pair then travelled to Europe for a more formal celebration, enjoying a lavish wedding at Le Château de Tourreau in Sarrians, France.
