In a highly publicized divorce court battle, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner have reached an interim agreement regarding the custody of their two daughters. The couple, who officially filed for divorce on September 4 after four years of marriage, have decided that their children will remain in New York. The agreement was detailed in an interim consent order filed in Manhattan federal court, and both parties agreed to the arrangement. The couple's first child, named Willa, was born in July 2020, and their second daughter was born two years later.

The Daily Mail was the first to report on the agreement, and representatives for Jonas and Turner have not yet commented on the matter. However, it is worth noting that just three weeks after Jonas filed for divorce, Turner filed a lawsuit against him, accusing him of refusing to let their daughters return to their "forever home" in England. This lawsuit has added another layer of complexity to the already messy divorce proceedings.

According to sources close to the couple, there were "many disagreements" between Jonas and Turner that ultimately led to the divorce. It has been described as a "last resort" for Jonas, who is seeking "shared parental responsibility" with his estranged wife. Currently, the children are said to primarily live with Jonas, and he is taking care of them "pretty much all the time." The couple's differing lifestyles, with Turner's penchant for partying, is believed to have played a role in the split.

However, the situation took a turn when Turner accused Jonas of filing for divorce without informing her directly, but rather through the media. She filed a lawsuit to have their daughters returned to England, claiming that Jonas was in breach of her custody rights under English law. She also alleged that he had possession of the children's passports and was refusing to return them or let the children go home to England with her.

Jonas responded to Turner's claims in a statement to The Post, stating that he is seeking shared parenting and is okay with the children being raised in both the US and the UK. He emphasized that the children were born in the US and have spent most of their lives there, making them American citizens. He also disputed Turner's claim of abduction and accused her of trying to move the divorce proceedings to the UK to permanently remove the children from the US.

As the divorce proceedings continue, the once Hollywood golden couple is set to appear in court for a pretrial conference in October. The messy battle has not gone unnoticed by the media, with “The View” hosts Sunny Hostin, Joy Behar, and Alyssa Farah Griffin weighing in on the situation. Behar expressed her concern for the impact the divorce will have on the couple's children, warning that they will be scarred and remember this ordeal forever. Hostin added that it feels like the children are being used as pawns in the divorce, referencing Turner's custody petition. Griffin criticized the Jonas camp for attempting to "mom shame" Turner, and warned that this could escalate into an international custody battle.

As the divorce saga continues to unfold, the public remains captivated by the personal and legal battles between Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner, eagerly awaiting further developments in this high-profile split.
