“I want my daughters to look up to inspiring women and to be surrounded by protectors who respect and support them,” Jonas explained. “My goal is for them to develop confidence, compassion, and an open mind-traits that will empower them to walk into any environment and believe they can achieve anything they set their minds to.”

Despite his aspirations for their independence, Jonas expressed reservations about his daughters following in the footsteps of their famous parents, hinting at a desire for them to forge their own paths.

In terms of their children’s upbringing, Jonas mentioned that he and Turner prefer to delay certain career pursuits for their daughters until they are older. “We might suggest waiting before diving into music or acting,” he joked, adding, “Most importantly, I want them to feel secure and confident in who they are, growing up in a safe and nurturing environment.”

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner tied the knot in 2019 after a three-year courtship. Their family expanded with the arrival of Willa in 2020 and Delphine in 2022. However, in September 2023, reports confirmed that Jonas filed for divorce, ending their four-year marriage. The couple engaged in a legal back-and-forth over custody, ultimately reaching an agreement in September 2024 to share custody equally, with their children spending time in both the United States and the United Kingdom.

“Following productive mediation, we have agreed that our children will enjoy balanced lives in loving homes across both countries,” the ex-spouses stated jointly. “We are committed to being exemplary co-parents.”

Recently, Turner shared her positive sentiments about her ongoing relationship with Jonas, especially highlighting his latest musical project. She took to her Instagram Stories on May 24 to promote his new album, Music for People Who Believe in Love, with a simple message: “Go go @joejonas,” accompanied by a Spotify link.

Since their separation, both Turner and Jonas have been candid about their marriage and personal growth. Turner reflected on their relationship in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, describing it as beautiful yet challenging. “Our time together was meaningful, but I felt like my life was on hold until I returned to London,” she shared. “Being away for six years meant missing out on key moments-like friends’ engagements and my own pregnancy. I never quite felt like myself outside of that familiar environment.”

On a personal note, Jonas recently discussed his journey back into the dating scene following his divorce. During a live stream on May 22, he shared that he was exploring new romantic connections, describing the experience as both daunting and exciting. “I was seeing someone at the time, and I was starting to think about dating again,” he explained. “It was intimidating, but also a rediscovery of what love can look like in different forms.”

His reflections highlight the evolving nature of relationships and the importance of personal growth after significant life changes.
