Joe Jonas is quietly preparing to file for divorce from Sophie Turner, TMZ reports.
Citing “sources with direct knowledge,” the outlet claims the middle Jonas Brother has already consulted with at least two L.A. lawyers after the couple has endured “serious problems” for over six months.
People magazine confirmed with another source that Jonas has retained a lawyer.
TMZ also reports Joe has their two young children and that the quick sale of their Miami mansion was another sign things were not going well.
Joe and Sophie started seeing each other in 2016, announcing their engagement the following year.
The two were wed in Las Vegas in 2019 and again in Paris the same year, and they have two kids together — welcoming daughter Willa in 2020 and then their second child in July 2022.
Turner and Jonas have gushed over each other over the years after connecting via Instagram DM in 2016. Turner posted a sweet photo two weeks ago of them holding hands while walking out of Yankee Stadium following a Jonas Brothers concert.
A few years back, she gushed to Elle UK that being married to Jonas had been “wonderful.”
“I feel as though the only thing that’s changed for me is having this incredible sense of security,” Turner said of her relationship with the former Disney star. “Just the word ‘husband’ and the word ‘wife’ — they solidify the relationship. I love being married. I think it’s wonderful.”
In May 2021, Jonas called parenthood “amazing” while discussing becoming a dad to Willa during an appearance on CBS This Morning.
“It’s been forced time at home — I’m always on the go; I’m always moving and traveling and touring. To be in one place for a solid amount of time and having my feet on the ground and be with my family, my immediate family, is time I don’t think I’ll get back. I’m so thankful and grateful,” he added.
The Jonas Brothers just began touring last month and are expected to be on the road until the end of the year and into 2024.
