Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner’s split has taken a dramatic turn. It’s about their two children and custody – and suddenly Taylor Swift is also part of the dispute.
Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner were considered a celebrity dream couple. He is the successful singer, she is the “Game of Thrones” star – a match made in heaven, as the saying goes. But now everything is over and the supposedly amicable separation seems to be turning into a mud fight.
Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner: Separation gets messy
After Jonas filed for divorce, Turner went to court to demand that her husband return their two children. The daughters born in 2020 and 2022 are being unlawfully detained in New York, according to the court document that was available to the German Press Agency. “The father is in possession of the children’s passports,” it says. “He refuses to return the mother’s passports and he refuses to send the children home to England with the mother.” Jonas has now spoken out via his lawyer and denies the accusation that he is holding the children in the USA.
If children are involved, celebrity breakups often get messy. But if you looked more closely in the past few weeks, the mudslinging started earlier. In various press reports that followed the breakup news, sources claimed that Jonas didn’t like that Turner was drinking and partying so much. They said he had been looking after the children for weeks. Paparazzo pictures were released showing the musician with the couple’s two daughters. The not-so-subtle subtext behind it: Joe Jonas is a self-sacrificing father who takes care of the children while the mother celebrates.
Taylor Swift suddenly in the middle of it all
There is no evidence that the reports are actually spread by Jonas’ PR team. But it is known that celebrity representatives occasionally work with the press, especially in divorce cases. Turner, on the other hand, largely held back. Until last Tuesday, when Sophie Turner spent an evening in New York with, of all people, superstar Taylor Swift.
Swift also has something in common with Joe Jonas. In 2008, the singer was in a relationship with her music colleague for three months until he broke up in a 25-second phone conversation. On Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show, the singer clearly teased Jonas. “When I find the right person for me, they will be wonderful. And when I look at that person, I won’t even be able to remember the boy who broke up with me over the phone in 25 seconds when I was 18 was,” she said. A swipe that she later regretted, but that fans will remember.

And so the paparazzi photos of Turner and Swift caused a sensation. “Imagine you’re Joe Jonas and your PR team spends your entire life cultivating a wholesome pop star image, only for Taylor Swift and Sophie Turner to blow it up by going out to dinner,” one user wrote X, formerly Twitter. “Sophie Turner had dinner with Taylor Swift and is ready to blow up Joe Jonas’ life and I love that so much for her,” another commented.
Her role in “Game of Thrones” also leads to support for Turner. “I think Joe Jonas has overestimated how much the average person is Team Joe Jonas. I didn’t sit through eight seasons of the most grueling and poorly lit show to support this man,” one user wrote.
Shortly after their first meeting in New York, Turner and Swift were spotted again on a dinner date.
