Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner’s Relationship Timeline

After four years of marriage and two kids, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner are officially divorced.

Jonas filed for a dissolution of marriage from Turner on Sept. 5, 2023. According to documents obtained by PEOPLE, the filing claimed “the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken.” A judge granted the divorce one year later.

The Game of Thrones actress and Jonas Brothers musician first connected through Instagram DMs in 2016. While Turner didn’t expect to like Jonas at first, they fell hard for each other after one evening at a British pub.

A year later, Jonas popped the question, and in 2019, the couple tied the knot twice: first in a surprise ceremony in Las Vegas and later at a lavish affair in the French countryside. According to Turner, getting married only changed their relationship for the better.

“I feel as though the only thing that’s changed for me is having this incredible sense of security. Just the word ‘husband’ and the word ‘wife’: they solidify the relationship. I love being married. I think it’s wonderful. I’m sure we’ll have our hiccups, but right now the security and the safety are everything,” she told Elle in 2020.

Turner and Jonas welcomed two children together during their marriage: daughter Willa in 2020 and daughter Delphine in 2022.

From their Instagram connection to their divorce, here’s everything to know about Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner’s relationship.

“He didn’t bring security. He brought a friend, and they drank just as hard as the rest of us. I remember the two of us spending only a couple of minutes on the dance floor, and then we just found a space far in the corner and we just talked. 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. And soon we were, like, inseparable. I went on tour with him,” Turner shared.

September 21, 2023: Sophie Turner sues Joe Jonas to have their children returned to England

In a lawsuit filed in a Manhattan court on Sept. 21, 2023, and obtained by PEOPLE, Turner requested for her two daughters to be returned to England. The suit against Jonas calls for “the immediate return of children wrongfully removed or wrongfully retained” that began on Sept. 20, according to Turner’s legal team.

The documents claim that the former couple agreed to have England as their “forever home” and were in the process of buying a house in the English countryside in April after selling a Miami property. During this time, Turner began filming the Joan miniseries and reportedly agreed to have their kids accompany Jonas on tour because he had more daytime hours for them, though she had “hesitation” about the “temporary arrangement.”

After Jonas filed for divorce on Sept. 5, Turner “reiterated” the plan to move to England but on Sept. 19, Jonas’ attorney allegedly confirmed to Turner’s legal team that he wouldn’t be turning over the passports nor give consent for the move.

The suit states, “The Father has possession of the children’s passports. He refuses to return the passports to the Mother and refuses to send the children home to England with the Mother.”

Jonas responded to Turner’s suit the same day, calling Turner’s claim he is withholding their daughters’ passports “misleading.” A representative for the musician said in a statement, “This is an unfortunate legal disagreement about a marriage that is sadly ending. When language like ‘abduction’ is used, it is misleading at best, and a serious abuse of the legal system at worst. The children were not abducted.”
