Joe Jonas Pleads To Judge For More Time To Settle Divorce With Sophie Turner

According to documents obtained by The Blast, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner are allowed to continue their divorce settlement negotiations. The judge is now giving them 30 days to make a move, or they will dismiss their case for lack of prosecution.

This comes after Turner petitioned to "reactivate" the divorce process and after the proceedings were temporarily paused while the former couple were mediating to negotiate property and child custody arrangements.

In September 2023, Joe Jonas, 34, began the legal steps to end his marriage to Sophie Turner in Miami. With four years of marriage behind them, he cited irreconcilable differences, stating that "the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken."

“After four years of wonderful marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage,” their joint statement read. “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.”

Now, per new documents obtained by The Blast, Joe Jonas has filed a notice of continued settlement negotiations and states as follows: Both Jonas and Turner "attended four days of mediation during the week of October 2, 2023, and four additional days of mediation during the week of December 18, 2023."

Both Turner and Jonas "have reached various agreements and continue to pursue an amicable resolution of all issues in this matter."

The documents add, "The undersigned files this notice in compliance with the Order to Progress Case dated May 13, 2024. The undersigned requests the Court allow the parties to continue settlement negotiations. If, pursuant to the Order to Progress Case, the parties are required to file an additional pleading, let this notice service as a request for a case management conference."

According to sources close to The Blast, the Jonas Brothers band member was separated from Sophie Turner for "several months" before he hired a divorce attorney to make their breakup official.

Additionally, multiple sources claimed that Jonas had been “less than supportive” of the actress, who was allegedly “struggled” after the birth of their second child. TMZ reported, "After their youngest child was born a year ago July, Sophie didn't want to leave their home…. She didn't want to be photographed or go to events. Nevertheless, she attended several events with Joe, but at one specific event, several people who were there said Sophie made it clear she was uncomfortable and didn't want to be there.”

After much back and forth, Turner and Jonas eventually reached a temporary arrangement concerning the custody of their two daughters, 3-year-old Willa and 15-month-old Delphine (at the time.)

"After a productive and successful mediation, we have agreed that the children will spend time equally in loving homes in both the U.S. and the UK. We look forward to being great co-parents," Turner and Jonas said in a joint statement at the time.

According to Teen Vogue, "the children will spend time with either parent for a predetermined period of time, after which they'll be returned to the other parent by either Turner or Jonas themselves or their nanny. The children are allowed to travel with their parent during their custody period, so the children can fly to the U.K. with Turner if needed."

“After multiple conversations with Sophie, Joe initiated divorce proceedings in Florida, as Florida is the appropriate jurisdiction for the case. Sophie was aware that Joe was going to file for divorce,” the statement read, per TMZ.

“The Florida Court has already entered an order that restricts both parents from relocating the children. Sophie was served with this order on September 6, 2023, more than two weeks ago," their report added.

“Joe is seeking shared parenting with the kids so that they are raised by both their mother and father, and is of course also okay with the kids being raised both in the U.S. and the U.K.,” the statement added, per Teen Vogue. "The children were born in the U.S. and have spent the vast majority of their lives in the U.S. They are American citizens."

The Blast will continue to report on any updates regarding Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner's divorce.
