Months before the public announcement of their divorce, Joe Jonas exhibited signs of strain regarding his relationship with Sophie Turner, according to insiders close to the singer. The recent revelations provide a deeper understanding of the dynamics between the Jonas Brothers member and the "Game of Thrones" star leading up to their separation.
An individual who worked alongside Jonas shared exclusively with Page Six that the singer was "very sensitive" and "almost touchy" when questions arose about Turner or any family-related matters. This behavior was particularly noticeable "way back in April," suggesting that the couple might have been facing challenges long before their official announcement. "Joe seemed very sensitive, almost touchy, when asked anything about his wife or family-related, so I'm guessing things were on the rocks with them before that," the source revealed.
Last week, amidst a whirlwind of rumors surrounding their marital status, Jonas and Turner confirmed their decision to part ways. In a joint statement on Instagram, they expressed, "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."
However, the waters surrounding their split are muddied with various speculations. Reports have emerged suggesting that Turner's lifestyle and partying habits played a role in the couple's decision to separate. Further fueling the rumor mill, there were claims that Jonas had come across compromising footage of Turner on their home's Ring camera, which allegedly served as a catalyst for the breakup.
In the wake of these speculations, other reports indicated that Jonas was "less than supportive" of Turner, especially after the birth of their second child in July 2022.
Addressing the myriad of rumors and showing gratitude for the outpouring of support, Jonas spoke out during one of the Jonas Brothers' concerts in Los Angeles. "It's been a crazy week," he began. "I just wanna say, look - if you don't hear it from these lips, don't believe it, OK?" Expressing his gratitude, he added, "Thank you everyone for your love and support. Me and my family love you guys."
In a poignant moment during the concert, Jonas performed the song "Hesitate," which he had previously dedicated to Turner. As he sang, his emotions were palpable, reflecting the depth of the bond they shared and the complexity of their current situation.
As the dust settles on their separation, fans and well-wishers hope for clarity and healing for both Jonas and Turner, who were married for four years and share two daughters.
