The separation of Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner deeply saddened many of their devoted fans. After four years of marriage, Joe initiated legal proceedings citing ‘irreconcilable differences,’ sparking a public exchange of accusations between the former couple.
A year later, Sophie candidly discussed the aftermath of the breakup, revealing the challenges she faced, including misogyny, criticism as a mother, and portrayals as a partygoer.
During an interview with British Vogue, the Game of Thrones actress recalled shooting her upcoming TV series Joan while enduring hurtful rumors questioning her parenting abilities. Despite being separated from her children during this period, Sophie persevered through the onslaught of false accusations.
Reflecting on the ordeal, Sophie described it as one of the most difficult periods of her life, compounded by her contractual obligations on set. She lamented the prevalence of false narratives and emphasized the reality of ‘mum guilt.’
Addressing speculations surrounding their split, including rumors about her partying habits conflicting with Joe’s parental responsibilities, Sophie expressed gratitude for navigating the ordeal in the present era of increased understanding and acceptance.
Sophie acknowledged the support she received, contrasting it with how she might have been treated a decade ago, underscoring the importance of contemporary open-mindedness.
Sophie and Joe’s romance began in 2016, culminating in engagement and marriage in 2019, with celebrations in Las Vegas and France. They welcomed two daughters in 2020 and 2022.
Following Joe’s divorce filing in 2023, the couple engaged in a custody dispute over their daughters. Sophie recently petitioned to resume their divorce proceedings, which had been on hold during mediation for property and custody arrangements.
