Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner, once known as relationship goals, are now making headlines for their potential divorce. The couple, who started dating in 2016, has always remained tight-lipped about their romance, but rumors of trouble in paradise have been circulating since September 2023. In a November 2022 interview with Mr. Porter, Jonas expressed the need for personal space and remarked, “it makes me a better person to have something for myself.” With very limited information available about their relationship, let’s take a closer look at the milestones and events that have transpired during their time together.
It all began when Joe Jonas sent Sophie Turner a direct message on Instagram, out of the blue. Turner revealed this in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar UK in 2019. Prior to their virtual interaction, their mutual friends had been trying to set them up. Eventually, they went on their first date in October 2016. Turner reminisced about that night, saying, “We talked for hours, and hours, and hours. And I was, like, not bored. It wasn’t contrived. It wasn’t small talk — it was just so easy.”
In January 2017, Sophie Turner confirmed her relationship with Joe Jonas via Instagram. She posted a photo of him smoking a cigar in the back of a boat with the caption, “Miami daze.” This Instagram post served as proof to fans that “Jophie” was indeed real.
Eight months after confirming their relationship, Turner shared news of a new addition to their family. In September 2017, she introduced their Alaskan Klee Kai pup named Porky Basquiat to the world through Instagram. The couple later adopted another dog named Waldo Picasso, but tragically, the dog passed away in July 2019 after being struck by a car.
In October 2017, Joe Jonas proposed to Sophie Turner. He took to Instagram to share the news, writing, “She said yes.” Turner reciprocated the excitement and shared the same photo, captioned, “I said yes.” She later described the engagement as “lovely” and compared finding Jonas to finding a house she loves and wants to stay in forever.
It took one year after their engagement for Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner to make their first red carpet appearance together. In October 2018, the couple attended a Louis Vuitton show during Paris Fashion Week, dressed in matching black and gray outfits. They continued to make public appearances together, attending events such as the Met Gala, premieres of their respective projects, and other high-profile occasions.
In 2019, Sophie Turner gave rare insight into her relationship with Joe Jonas during interviews. She revealed that they once split for 24 hours due to “cold feet,” which she described as the “worst day” of their lives. Turner also credited Jonas with bringing her happiness, stating, “There’s a sense of peace that comes with finding your person.”
After attending the Billboard Music Awards in May 2019, the couple surprised everyone by having an impromptu wedding in Las Vegas. The ceremony was officiated by an Elvis Presley impersonator, while Dan + Shay provided music. The event was live-streamed on Instagram by Diplo against the groom’s wishes. The couple had a more formal wedding in the French countryside the following month, celebrating with friends and family.
Despite being spotted with a baby bump in 2020, Sophie Turner kept her pregnancy private. She didn’t share any photos until after giving birth to her daughter, Willa, in July of that year. Turner emphasized the importance of wearing masks during her delivery, making a statement about COVID-19 safety.
In September 2021, Joe Jonas, Sophie Turner, and their daughter relocated from Los Angeles to Miami. Turner expressed her love for the weather and living by the water in an interview with Elle UK. She also mentioned her desire to move to England but acknowledged that it might require some convincing.
Two months after revealing her baby bump at the 2022 Met Gala, Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas welcomed their second daughter. However, in September 2023, rumors of their divorce surfaced when Jonas was seen without his wedding ring during the Jonas Brothers’ concerts. Turner also attended only the first show of their “Five Albums. One Night” tour.
As of now, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner have not officially addressed the divorce rumors. However, it seems that their relationship has experienced its fair share of highs and lows. While fans may have once seen them as relationship goals, their journey together has taken unexpected turns. Only time will tell if this rollercoaster romance can weather the storms and find stability once again.
