They’re “Only Human,” folks and like half of all married couples, Joe Jonas and sometimes redhead but always a smokeshow Sophie Turner are divorcing.
The couple, who share two daughters and a dog named Porky Basquiat, have been together for nearly seven years.
Their story began in true millennial fashion when Jonas slid into Turner’s DMs. While Turner thought Jonas would be “a d–k,” on their first date (and consequently brought half a rugby team with her to provide protection should he prove to be a catfish) the two hit it off and were soon inseparable and deeply and mutually protective of their love affair.
The singer and the starlet announced their engagement in October 2017 with an Instagram photo of her ring.
The pair wed in Las Vegas in May 2019, exchanging vows and Ring Pops at the Little White Wedding Chapel with an Elvis impersonator as their officiant.

Among the attendees was Diplo, who, in a serious faux pas, live streamed the event on Instagram against Jonas’s express wishes. They followed up the Vegas vows with a ceremony in the French countryside a month later. Jonas and Turner welcomed daughter Willa in 2020 and an ‘as yet to be publicly named’ second child in 2022.
Speculation about their split began in August 2023 when Jonas was seen without his wedding band and news broke that the couple had sold their shared Miami mansion.
Turner has been notably absent from Jonas’s concerts and it was suggested by the press that the latter was shopping for divorce attorneys before he officially filed on September 5, citing that the marriage, like all of us is “irretrievably broken.”
With all those beautiful genes and good juju what broke bad and went sideways and how do the stars fall and fare betwixt these two? Read on to learn more.

Jonas speaks to this dynamic and his own lion heart in the lyrics to “Hesitate,” his “love letter” to Turner where he sings, “I will take your pain /And put it on my heart/I won’t hesitate/Just tell me where to start
I thank the oceans for giving me you/You saved me once and now I’ll save you too/I won’t hesitate for you.”
The “I thank the oceans” line is reportedly a reference to the Atlantic that separates their countries of origin but it pulls double duty as Turner is a water sign ruled by a planet named for the god of the sea. Strong work, Joe.
Leos are proud and fierce parents who often view their children as an extension of themselves and their role as parents a kind of sacred calling.
This is reportedly the case for Jonas who has assumed primary care of the couple’s two children during this transition.

In terms of aspects, Turner’s sun in Pisces forms a lucky duck trine with Jonas’s Jupiter, planet of expansion and abundance.
This aspect is often present in the synastry charts of parents and business associates, in both senses there is a pooled resourcefulness, a coming together for a bigger pay off, babies and financial boons alike.
Yet, sometimes we collide in order to bring forth but not to endure and in the case of Turner and Jonas what was meant to bloom and be bankable might not be made to last.
