Sophie Turner looked ‘happy and relaxed’ in days before Joe Jonas divorce, says bar manager

She’s only human.

Days before Joe Jonas filed for divorce from Sophie Turner, the “Game of Thrones” alum appeared “happy and relaxed” partying “without a care in the world” at DropShot bar in Digbeth, Birmingham, according to the manager.

“She was great company and a really good laugh,” Herzog Stephenson told The Daily Mail Thursday. “You would never have thought that she was going through a divorce.

“She never once spoke about her husband or kids and never mentioned anything about getting divorced,” he continued, saying the news a “shock” when it made headlines over the weekend.

However, Stephenson clarified, “It also made sense because it was obvious when I was with Sophie that she wanted to return to her days of partying. I sensed that she was missing those times.”

TMZ reported Tuesday that the 27-year-old actress’ partying allegedly played a factor in her and the Jonas Brothers member’s breakup after four years of marriage.

Days before the singer filed for divorce in Miami, since-deleted footage went viral of the “Game of Thrones” alum downing shots at DropShot with her friends.

Jonas is seeking “shared parental responsibility” with his estranged wife.

The children are said to live primarily with Jonas, and the singer is said to be caring for them “pretty much all the time.”

Turner’s penchant for partying is believed to have factored into the split, and a source said the pair have “very different lifestyles.”

Turner is suing Jonas to return their two daughters to England.

The actress claims she found out her estranged husband filed for divorce “through the media.

Jonas blasted the lawsuit, saying it goes against an “amicable co-parenting setup.”

“Just me and my new mate @sophiet out for a few bevvies,” Stephenson captioned the Sunday Instagram upload. “Soph stopped by my spot to test out my punch machine. Said I made her the best #mojito ever so I’ll take that.”

Turner and Jonas, 32, took to social media Wednesday to confirm their split with a joint statement.

“After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage,” the estranged couple wrote. “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.”

The duo have been together since 2016, tying the knot in 2019. They share two young daughters.
