In a surprising turn of events, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner, one of Hollywood's most celebrated couples, are heading towards divorce. As the news of their split continues to make headlines, details surrounding their prenuptial agreement have come to light.
According to insiders from The Blast, the prenup between Jonas and Turner was described as "ironclad." Given that both stars had amassed significant wealth before tying the knot, it was a prudent decision to have a prenuptial agreement in place. The agreement reveals that Jonas will retain all of his royalties from his music with The Jonas Brothers and DNCE. Conversely, Turner will hold onto her residuals from the hit series "Game of Thrones" and any subsequent projects she's been involved in.
Real estate properties, often a contentious issue in celebrity divorces, were also addressed in their prenup. Properties acquired before the agreement will revert to their original owners. However, the fate of their marital home, purchased post-wedding, remains uncertain. It's yet to be decided whether the property will be sold, a common practice among divorced Hollywood couples, or if another arrangement will be made.
The rights to their "image and likeness and business" will also remain with the respective artists. An insider noted the importance of this clause, stating, "It seems like a no-brainer, but it's increasingly being discussed considering the fame attached to actors and musicians can be worth a tremendous amount of money."
However, the most sensitive aspect of their divorce might revolve around the custody of their two children. In California, child custody cannot be pre-negotiated in a prenup. Thus, a judge will have the final say on custody arrangements and child support. TMZ recently reported that Jonas has already initiated the divorce proceedings and has been with their two children, aged 3 and 1, during his North American tour with The Jonas Brothers. The documents filed by Jonas reportedly request a parenting plan that ensures both parents have regular and ongoing contact with their children.
The news of their divorce has left fans and the entertainment industry in shock. The couple, who always appeared deeply in love, are now navigating the complexities of ending their marital union. As the proceedings continue, many are hopeful that the couple will find a harmonious resolution, especially for the sake of their young children.
