Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner, a celebrity couple highly beloved by the internet, have called it quits after nearly seven years together. Several news outlets reported on 3 Sept. that Jonas hired a divorce lawyer, and the pair jointly announced their split on Instagram three days later, on 6 Sept. "After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage," the two said in a statement. "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 news and subsequent announcement came as a shock to many, especially fans of both Jonas and Turner; the couple, though private, appeared strong together as recently as 16 Aug (as evidenced by an Instagram post from Turner). The pair first connected via DM back in 2016 and began dating in December of that year. Jonas and Turner quickly got engaged less than a year later in October 2017 and secretly tied the knot in a private Las Vegas ceremony, per People. The couple share two children together: Willa (born in July 2020) and another child (born in July 2022), whose name has not been revealed.

After connecting on Instagram, Turner and Jonas met in person sometime in October 2016. Jonas, who had been touring with the Jonas Brothers in the UK at the time, invited Turner to meet up for drinks. "He didn't bring security. He brought a friend, and they drank just as hard as the rest of us. I remember us two spending only a couple of minutes on the dance floor, and then we found a space in the far corner and we just talked," Turner told Elle in 2019 (via People). "We talked for hours, and hours, and hours. And I wasn't bored. It wasn't contrived, it wasn't small talk — it was just so easy. Soon, we were inseparable. And then I went on tour with him."

"[With 'Game of Thrones,'] you have to be done with this scene by a certain time and you have to say these words and stand at exactly these spots, because otherwise it wouldn't work. Whereas with a music video, it's just much more kind of free and loose and improvisational," she shared.
