00:00 Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner have broken their silence.
00:02 On news, they are separating.
00:05 On Wednesday, the former couple each posted a brief statement
00:08 to Instagram confirming their split, writing,
00:12 "Statement from the two of us.
00:14 After four wonderful years of marriage,
00:16 we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage.
00:20 There are many speculative narratives as to why,
00:23 but truly this is a united decision,
00:25 and we sincerely hope that everyone can respect our wishes
00:29 for privacy for us and our children."
00:31 The Jonas Brothers singer filed for divorce
00:34 from his wife of four years on Tuesday,
00:36 Access Hollywood confirmed.
00:38 According to court documents obtained by Access,
00:41 Joe filed a petition for dissolution of marriage
00:43 in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
00:45 The papers state that, quote,
00:47 "The marriage between the parties is irrevocably broken."
00:51 The 34-year-old musician and the "Game of Thrones" star
00:54 are parents to two young daughters,
00:56 three-year-old Willa and a second daughter,
00:58 whose name they have not shared,
00:59 whom they welcomed just last year.
01:02 The former couple appears to be planning for joint custody.
01:05 It is in the best interests of the minor children
01:08 that the parties have shared parental responsibility,
01:11 the papers state.
01:12 In addition, the pair intend to uphold
01:15 their prenuptial agreement.
01:17 Joe and the 27-year-old star tied the knot in 2019
01:20 in two ceremonies, one in Las Vegas
01:23 after that year's Billboard Music Awards,
01:25 and then a more formal ceremony in France.
01:28 They welcomed their daughters in July 2020 and July 2022.
01:32 Access Hollywood spoke to the "Little Bird" singer
01:35 in September 2022, just weeks after their youngest was born,
01:39 and he shared how parenthood has impacted him.
01:42 Well, congratulations on baby number two.
01:44 Thank you.
01:46 I'm so excited for you guys.
01:47 It's so cool to see this, you know, all happening for you.
01:50 Thank you.
01:51 How do you think fatherhood has changed you
01:54 and expanding the family has changed the dynamic?
01:59 I work harder to take more time off in my life now.
02:04 I want to be able to be very present.
02:07 And even at home, I think the biggest change is, like,
02:10 even small things that I could do.
02:12 I've deleted social media pretty much off my phone,
02:15 and I'll re-download it if I want to post something
02:17 or to re-delete it.
02:19 And I still use it, but I'm able to be, like, present at home
02:22 and be present when I'm around my friends and family,
02:25 most importantly.
02:26 I really love that.
02:28 And those small little things go a long way.
02:31 And if I'm at home and doing Zooms,
02:33 I try to do it during a window where it's just me time.
02:36 And so it's quite nice, and so it's changed me a lot.
02:40 I think it's made me for the better.
02:43 And ultimately, as a bandmate, you're
02:48 a little bit more emotional with these songs
02:50 that you're writing and the things you're going through
02:52 and the stories you're telling and you want to share
02:54 and the relations that you have around you.
02:57 Aw, that's really sweet.
02:58 Please tell me you sing lullabies,
03:00 and you're doing that.
03:01 My lullabies CD will come out soon.
03:05 I love that.
03:05 I just said CD.
03:06 Ugh.
03:09 Yeah, I'm about your age, so I would say the same.
