Sophie Turner, known for her role in Game of Thrones, reportedly found out about her husband Joe Jonas filing for divorce through media reports.
According to court documents filed in the southern district of New York on September 21, Turner claims that she was unaware of Jonas' intentions until she saw news articles stating that he had filed a petition in a Florida court to end their four-year marriage.
The court filing was made as Turner is suing Jonas to have their two daughters returned to England after he allegedly refused to hand over their passports.
The documents reveal details about the breakdown of their marriage, stating that Jonas filed for divorce on September 1, but Turner only learned about it through the media five days later.
In a joint statement released on September 6, the couple confirmed their decision to end their marriage amicably after four years together.
They asked for privacy and respect for their wishes.
However, on September 21, Turner filed a petition to have their children returned to England, claiming that they have been wrongfully retained in New York City, away from their habitual residence in the UK.
The court documents state that Turner and Jonas had established England as their permanent residence in April 2023 and were planning to purchase their “forever home” in December.
After Jonas filed for divorce, the couple reportedly met on September 17 to discuss the situation, and Turner reiterated their agreement for their daughters to return to England.
However, the petition alleges that Jonas refused to hand over their passports, leading to Turner's legal action.
Jonas' representative stated that the Florida Court has already issued an order preventing either parent from relocating the children.
Turner was reportedly served with this order on September 6.
They also mentioned that Jonas and Turner had a cordial meeting in New York on Sunday, September 19, where the children were with Turner.
Jonas believed they had reached an understanding for amicable co-parenting, but less than 24 hours later, Turner demanded to take the children permanently to the UK.
The divorce filing and the custody battle highlight the complexities surrounding Turner and Jonas' separation.
As fans of the couple await further updates, it is clear that their priority is the well-being of their children and finding a resolution that works for both parties.
