A Florida judge has officially finalized Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner’s divorce, declaring them divorced and single. A Miami-Dade County judge signed off on the confidential agreement Friday, the day after the 35-year-old Jonas Brothers singer filed for divorce from the 28-year-old British actor, ending their five-year marriage.

The divorce, which initially headed for a lengthy and contentious legal battle, has been relatively quiet and swift. The couple, who have two daughters – 4-year-old Willa and 2-year-old Delphine – were able to reach an agreement through restrained negotiations on property division, spousal support and custody arrangements, thereby avoiding a lengthy public dispute.

Judge Gina Beovides ruled that the marriage is “irretrievably broken” and that the couple’s parenting plan and agreement are in the best interests of their family. Representatives for Turner and Jonas have not yet commented on the verdict.

The couple’s relationship quickly progressed after they connected via Instagram messages in 2016. They married in a secret ceremony at a Las Vegas wedding chapel in May 2019, right after the Billboard Music Awards, with country duo Dan + Shay performing at the event.

In September 2023, Jonas filed for divorce, seeking joint custody of their daughters and citing a prenuptial agreement in the legal filing. The day after the filing, both Jonas and Turner posted identical statements on social media, assuring their followers that the separation was amicable. However, tensions escalated just weeks later when Turner filed a lawsuit demanding that Jonas hand over the children’s passports so they could travel to her native England, indicating a custody dispute was brewing.

Turner’s legal filing claimed that the couple had agreed to raise their children in England, but Jonas, who was on tour in New York with his daughters at the time, did not comply with the request. Turner also said that she had only learned of the divorce through media reports, while Jonas said they had discussed the matter several times before taking legal action.

By January, the custody battle was settled, a sign that the former couple was working toward a compromise. With Friday’s ruling, their divorce is official.

The once high-profile relationship, which seemed destined for a long, public breakup, has ended with a resolution that prioritizes the couple’s daughters and allows both Jonas and Turner to move on amicably.
