As the holiday season unfolds, former power couple Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas are charting a unique course in co-parenting their daughters, Willa and Delphine. Recent court records obtained by People reveal that the Game of Thrones actor will be spending Christmas in the United Kingdom with the young ones until January 7.
The custody arrangement, as outlined in the documents, indicates that Willa and Delphine will remain abroad with Sophie Turner, while Joe Jonas, the “Cake by the Ocean” singer, entrusted the care of their children to Turner on December 17. Plans are in place for Jonas to accompany them back to their home base in New York City, although it remains uncertain if the ex-couple will reunite for the festive celebrations, given Jonas’s recent Instagram Story suggesting his continued presence in London.
A glimpse into Turner’s recent routine in London showcases the 27-year-old star of X-Men: Dark Phoenix gracefully navigating the city streets on a rainy day, pushing a pram with three-year-old Willa and one-year-old Delphine on board. Clad in a stylish black coat, Turner’s outing paints a picture of maternal warmth amid the challenges of co-parenting.
The journey to this point has been marked by a series of significant decisions. In October, following a rigorous, multi-day meditation process, Turner and Jonas reached what they describe as an “amicable resolution” regarding child custody. This resolution granted approval for Willa and Delphine to spend Christmas with their mother and Thanksgiving with their father, signifying a commitment to shared parenting responsibilities.
The separation announcement, delivered by Jonas in September after four years of marriage, initially hinted at a quiet divorce. However, the narrative took a legal turn when Turner filed a lawsuit demanding the “immediate return” of their children to Europe, in accordance with their pre-divorce agreement to raise them in England. This legal tussle added a layer of complexity to their breakup but did not deter the duo from expressing a shared commitment to being “great co-parents.”
As the holiday season unfolds, the world watches with curiosity and support as Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas redefine norms in the realm of celebrity co-parenting, demonstrating that even in separation, the spirit of togetherness can prevail for the sake of their beloved daughters.
