Joe Jonas Says Sophie Turner Co-Parenting Helps Him Through ‘Bad Days’

Everything’s cool between Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner, as far as their kids are concerned.

On the Tuesday (June 2) installment of the Jonas Brothers’ new podcast Hey Jonas, the DNCE frontman delved into how his co-parenting relationship with the Game of Thrones actress — to whom he was married for four years — helps him on a holistic level. “I am a single dad, and I co-parent with my children’s mother,” he began, responding to a listener who’d called in with a question about what the most “healing” part of becoming parents has been for the JoBros.

“I think my children have given me purpose again in my life,” he continued. “Having them, the reason I do what I do now, meaning go to work … knowing that I get to work hard if I’m not with them and go back to my shared time I get to be with them, it makes it so much better to work that much harder. 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.”

“I’m grateful I have a co-parent I can balance even the bad days [with],” Joe added. “Having good people around me to help me navigate it is really special. They’ve taught me that I’m going to be OK in my toughest days.”

The musician shares two young daughters with Turner. In 2023, they announced their split with a statement reading, “After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage … truly this is a united decision and we sincerely hope that everyone can respect our wishes for privacy for us and our children.”

Before their divorce was finalized the following year, however, the situation between them briefly turned contentious when Turner sued Joe for allegedly refusing to hand over their daughters’ passports, keeping them from returning home with her to England. She dropped the suit after reaching a custody agreement with the singer in January 2024, and they now share custody of the girls.

“My little ones have some incredible women to look up to, including their mom,” Joe said on the School of Greatness podcast this past July. “I have a great co-parenting relationship, which is really important to me.”

Joe is now dating Tatiana Gabriela, making the relationship official on social media in April with photos and a vlog of their recent trip to Puerto Rico. He dropped a solo album, Music For People Who Believe In Love, last year and reached No. 24 on the Billboard 200. Greetings From Your Hometown, the Jonas Brothers’ 2025 album, peaked at No. 6.
