Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner’s Divorce Battle Is Already Exhausting
Until recently, Joe Jonas was enjoying a resurgence of popularity brought on by the massive Jonas Brothers tour that’s currently shuttling across North America. The goodwill buoyed by screaming fans at the band’s sold-out shows came to a halt, however, shortly after TMZ reported last week that Jonas and his wife, Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner, were splitting up.
Jonas officially filed for divorce on Tuesday, and the couple promptly released a bland joint statement on Instagram insisting it was a “united decision.” But it was too late: internet sleuths searching for clues and drama had already picked apart their relationship, with Jonas, in many people’s eyes, emerging as the villain of the story.
One viral tweet spread an unconfirmed rumor that Jonas had called off his and Turner’s engagement the night before their wedding, and that he later married the actress in Las Vegas just to get her to “shut up.” Meanwhile, many other tweets zoomed in on Jonas’ long dating history, including reports that he first asked out model Gigi Hadid, whom he later dated, when he was 21 and she was 13.
