Joe Jonas Says His, Sophie Turner’s Kids Give Him “Reason to Be Alive”

“There’s a lot of people in my situation that are single parents and go through this, and I’m grateful that I have a co-parent that I can balance even the bad days,” he added. “But I think being able to have good people around me to kind of help me navigate it is really special.”

Joe, 36, filed for divorce from Sophie, 30, in September 2023, requesting “shared parental responsibility” and requesting that a “parenting plan should be established,” according to online records viewed by E! News at the time.

Two weeks after the “Cake by the Ocean” singer’s divorce filing, the Staircase actress sued her estranged husband “as a result of the wrongful retention” of their daughters in New York City “from their habitual residence of England.” 

However, in 2024, the pair announced they had reached a shared custody agreement before finalizing their divorce.

Today, the former couple is on much better terms, especially since they both have a shared goal of putting their kids first.

Indeed, Joe shared that his little ones are “the reason I do what I do now.”

And fatherhood has also had a positive impact on his professional life. 

“Knowing that I get to work hard if I’m not with them,” he said, “and go back to my shared time where I get to be with them, it makes it so much better to work that much harder.”

Joe added of his kids, “I think they’ve taught me that I’ll be OK even in my toughest days.”
