Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner Are Declared Divorced and Single

A Florida judge has declared Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner divorced and single, signing off on a confidential agreement reached between the two.

The Miami-Dade County judge approved the agreement on Friday, one year after the 35-year-old Jonas Brothers singer filed to divorce the 28-year-old "Game of Thrones" and "X Men" actor and five years after the two were married.

The split brought a quiet and relatively quick end to a divorce that briefly became acrimonious and looked headed for a long and ugly custody fight.

The documents said that moderated negotiations led to an agreement on splitting assets, spousal support and custody of their two daughters, 4-year-old Willa and 2-year-old Delphine.

Judge Gina Beovides declared that the marriage was "irretrievably broken," and that the couple's agreement, especially their parenting plan, was in the best interest of the family.

After-hours emails seeking comment from representatives of both Turner and Jonas were not immediately returned.

The couple met through Instagram messages and began dating in 2016. They married in a secretive ceremony at a Las Vegas wedding chapel in May of 2019 after the Billboard Music Awards. Country duo Dan + Shay performed at the wedding.

Jonas filed for divorce in September of 2023. In the filing he sought joint custody and said the two had a pre-nuptial agreement.

The following day the two posted an identical amicable statement to each of their Instagram accounts.

But the split turned into a serious dispute within weeks when Turner sued to force Jonas to turn over the girls' passports so they could join her in her native England.

The daughters, who were born in the US but have dual citizenship, were with Joe Jonas in New York, where he was on tour, according to court documents, in which Turner said they had been planning on raising the girls together in England when their marriage fell apart.

Turner said she learned of Jonas' divorce filing through the media, while Jonas said the two had had multiple conversations about it.

The custody fight was dropped in January, a sign that the two were on a path to a settlement.

Turner, who is from Northampton, England, played Sansa Stark for eight seasons on HBO's "Game of Thrones" and played Jean Grey in 2016's "X-Men: Apocalypse" and 2019's "Dark Phoenix."

The Arizona-born Jonas came to fame with brothers Nick and Kevin in a band starting in 2005 and subsequent Disney Channel series. Last year, they released their sixth studio album and toured US stadiums.

Ron Howard's "Eden" may be based on a true story, but its actors at the Toronto International Film Festival said on Saturday the Darwinian story of survival departed from the historical record in one significant way: the cast members got along famously.

"Eden" is a story of eight idealistic Germans who move to an uninhabited island in the Galapagos archipelago in late 1920s. Before departing, the settlers had little in common except the will to escape a mundane of life in Weimer-era Germany and build new lives in an unspoiled paradise.

Eventually, however, the forces of nature and unscrupulous newcomers begin to pit the islanders against one another, and many of them mysteriously disappear.

Although the movie is set in the Galapagos, the island chain made famous by Charles Darwin, the movie was shot in Queensland, Australia.

Vanessa Kirby, known for her roles in "The Crown" and "Napoleon", took the role of Dore Strauch, the love interest of German philosopher Friedrich Ritter, played by Jude Law.

Kirby told Reuters the filming of "Eden" felt a bit like working on the reality TV show "Survivor."

"It felt really intense, in the wilderness we were in the 100 degree heat in Australia in summer," Kirby told Reuters on the red carpet. "We were sweaty we were bitten by everything, so it was real."

Even so, everybody bonded on the set. "We got along really well," she said. "Everyone in German accent: can you imagine that? It was really nice," she said.

Daniel Bruhl, who plays the idealistic Heinz Wittmer, told Reuters that the moment the cast came together they were committed to the story.

"We knew that we were doing this for Ron. This was his passion project for years," Bruhl said of the Oscar-winning director. "He has a contagious and good energy, and he did the job of casting people from different places. It is a very eclectic mix."

Unlike the characters they portrayed in the film, he said, the cast enjoyed the project and are still in touch with one another.
