Joe Jonas Shares Rare Update on Co-Parenting With Ex-Wife Sophie Turner
Just a few years ago, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner were in the midst of a divorce, engaged in a he-said/she-said over their kids and what went wrong.
After months of swirling rumors and lawsuits, things finally calmed down between the former couple. Now, it seems like all of that happened a lifetime ago, as Jonas praised Turner for being the kind of co-parent that he can count on.
Inside His Heartbreaking Reflection on Fatherhood
On the June 2 episode of the Hey Jonas podcast, he and his brothers, Kevin and Nick, were asked how fatherhood has changed them. He explained that his "children have given me purpose again in my life."
"Knowing that I get to work hard if I'm not with them, and go back to my shared time where I get to be with them, it makes it so much better to work that much harder," he explained. "And they've really given me the reason to be alive, I would say. I think in my saddest moments, I'm able to be reminded quickly that a hug from them can solve the world's problems in my own world."
He also talked about how much he appreciated Turner as a co-parent, stating, "I'm grateful that I have a co-parent that I can balance even the bad days."
"I think being able to have good people around me to kind of help me navigate is really special," he said.
How They Became 'Family' Again
The former couple has proven that, thanks to their daughters, Willa and Delphine, they'll always be family and have found a way to become friends after their difficult divorce. When Jonas released his new album, Music for People Who Believe in Love, in May 2025, Turner shared a link on her Instagram stories with the caption "Go go @joejonas." Two months later, Delphine turned 5. Instead of having separate parties, they celebrated together at Jonas's Miami condo.
When Jonas appeared on Jay Shetty's On Purpose Live Tour, an audience member recorded him sweetly commending Turner.
"They have an incredible mom," Jonas said. "I have a beautiful co-parenting relationship that I'm really grateful for. And I think first and foremost, having an incredible mom, Sophie, for those girls is like a dream come true." So I think, actually, as young girls, looking up to great women is what I want for them."
