Sources explain why Sophie Turner left the kids with Joe this summer

Publish date: 2024-07-12

The general timeline for Joe Jonas & Sophie Turner’s split is that the problems started soon after she gave birth to their second child last year. Around the new year, the problems kept growing, and I totally believe that one of their biggest “fights” was over Sophie returning to work. They seemingly did a “trial separation” over the summer, as Sophie worked on the ITV miniseries Joan. Reportedly, that production recently wrapped and that’s why there were photos and videos of Sophie at a Birmingham barshe was “partying” at the wrap party and she was reportedly in high spirits. That would have been just days before Joe Jonas filed for divorce and launched this campaign against her, trying to make it sound like she’s an unfit mother. Well, People Mag also got an explanation for why Joe has been parenting his children this summer:

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner are co-parenting their two daughters while both working. Jonas and Turner’s girls have been with Jonas as Turner has been filming, a source close to the pair tells PEOPLE. The former couple’s kids have “more support” living with the singer amid their divorce, adds the insider.

“She has been shooting which is why the kids have been with Joe. It’s just been easier because she’s been working for the kids to be with him because there’s some more support at home and on the road with his family. It’s something they both agreed was best.”

On Tuesday, the Jonas Brothers singer filed for a dissolution of marriage from the actress, 27, after four years of marriage, documents obtained by PEOPLE confirm. The filing claims “the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken.” Jonas and Turner have a prenup in place, the divorce papers confirmed.

“A parenting plan should be established, which addressed all parenting issues and contains a timesharing schedule providing for frequent and continuing contact with both parties,” the filing continued. “The children have been residing with their father in Miami and other locations throughout the United States.”

My question: do you think Joe set her up? By that I mean, do you think he demanded that the kids stay with him in the US while she worked in England, all because he knew he would leak that HE was taking care of their children while Sophie “partied” (worked)? Did he think that far ahead? Or was it more like, hey, it would be easier for the kids to stay with their family/nanny support system and then, after a few months of that, Joe couldn’t handle it and he’s throwing a tantrum because Sophie won’t run back to him and be a tradwife?
