Nick & Kevin Jonas Just Subtly Reacted To Joe’s Divorce From Sophie Turner
After news of their middle brother announced his marriage was over, Nick and Kevin Jonas responded to Joe’s divorce from Sophie Turner with a subtle display of solidarity.
The Game of Thrones star and pop music icon connected in 2016. While oh-so-casually modeling with a unicorn for Harper’s Bazaar UK, Turner explained that she and Jonas had quite a few mutual friends try to set them up, but it just never ended up happening. She said it must have been fate, though, because “[they] were following each other on Instagram, and he direct messaged [her] one fine day, out of the blue.” Bold move! But clearly, it worked in his favor. It’s also a technique that the JoBros seem to really like. Nick Jonas slid into his now-wife’s Twitter DMs with the line, “I think we should connect.”
A year later, he popped the question, and they got married in Vegas in 2019. Their first child, daughter Willa, was born in 2020 and their second, another daughter, in 2022. “It’s been amazing to be a dad and to learn every day more about myself and what that’s like,” Jonas told PEOPLE at the time. “It’s what life is about for me – raising the next generation,” Turner told Elle UK. “The greatest thing in life is seeing my daughter go from strength to strength. We’re so excited to be expanding the family. It’s the best blessing ever.”
But after news broke over the Labor Day 2023 weekend that their marriage was over, here’s how Nick and Kevin Jonas responded to Joe’s divorce from Sophie Turner.

How did Nick and Kevin Jonas respond to Joe’s divorce from Sophie Turner? The Jonas Brothers haven’t said anything publicly about Joe’s divorce, but they shared a hug on stage at Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona, while performing as part of their Five Albums, One Night tour. Fans at the show observed that Joe wasn’t wearing his wedding ring, either.
In a joint statement issued to Instagram on September 6, 2023, the couple explained: “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,” they said.
Some anonymous sources quoted in tabloids have tried to place the blame solely on Turner in a typical anti-female manner, claiming that she had been an absent mother too focused on “partying” to be a mother.
“Divorce was a last resort for Joe. He never wanted to break up his family, but he had to take what he felt was the best course of action for his girls,” an insider told Page Six. “An unhappy home isn’t a home, and the truth is that he and Sophie were going through it this year. There’s a lot of noise out there, but it wasn’t a straw-that-broke-the-camel’s-back situation like it’s being reported.” The source concluded: “It just kept building, and Joe finally reached a point where he felt that he had exhausted all options to salvage the marriage.”
Meanwhile, TMZ reported that “multiple sources” said that “Joe had access to a ring cam that he said captured Sophie saying and/or doing something that made him realize the marriage was over.” Whatever that means.
Divorce documents obtained by People revealed, “the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken,” with sources explaining that the split did not come as a “surprise” to those who were close to the couple. “They were not separated but they’ve been living separate lives for months,” the source said. “As far as custody goes, this literally all just happened, so they’re figuring it out in real-time. They did have a prenup. As a family, they were based in Florida. The kids were with him the last few months, traveling with him with family while he’s been on tour. Sophie’s been working in the UK.”
Just a day prior, Jonas seemingly rebutted the rumors he and his wife of four years were heading for a split, sharing a selfie with his wedding ring clearly still on his finger on Instagram. Understandably, fans took that to mean that the rumors were total BS.
The selfie was in response to reports from TMZ, then by People, that the A-listers were heading for a split according to anonymous insiders. “Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … Joe had his people contact and consult with at least 2 L.A.-area divorce lawyers and he is on the cusp of filing divorce docs to end his marriage to Sophie,” the tabloid said, observing that he’s gone with and without his wedding ring on public outings.
TMZ added that they were told Turner and Jonas have had “serious problems” for the good part of the year, and that “Joe has been caring for their 2 young children “pretty much all of the time,” even as his band was touring. We’re told Joe currently has both kids, as the group plays around the U.S.” People, meanwhile, reported that Jonas “had retained a divorce lawyer”, though the article noted that reps for neither star commented on the rumors.
It wasn’t the first time the couple had faced challenges. Apparently, Turner and Jonas went through a breakup right before their wedding. The Game of Thrones actress explained that the couple split for 24 hours before realizing it was a horrible decision and got back together. “It was the worst day of our lives,” she explained to The Sunday Times. But thankfully, it helped them realize they should be together. “For a second, we both had cold feet, then 24 hours later we were both, like, ‘Never mind.’”
