Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner were recently spotted leaving a mediation session, marking a pivotal moment in their ongoing divorce proceedings. The couple, who announced their separation last month, is navigating the challenging process of divorce and custody arrangements for their two daughters, Willa (3) and Delphine.
The mediation session, which took place in New York City, was a significant step in resolving the complex issues surrounding their split. Jonas, 34, and Turner, 27, spent a grueling 10 hours at the office building, aiming to come to a fair agreement on their divorce and parenting plans.
Exclusive photos obtained by Page Six captured Joe Jonas leaving the meeting via a service driveway around 8 p.m. Although he tried to keep a low profile, the “Cake by the Ocean” singer appeared somewhat downcast as he exited the building and entered a black SUV.
Sophie Turner, best known for her role in “Game of Thrones,” was seen exiting the main entrance of the building around 6 p.m., displaying signs of exhaustion after the lengthy mediation session. She wore a casual outfit, donning jeans, a white T-shirt, and a green cable-knit cardigan. With minimal makeup and her long hair down, Turner maintained a low-key appearance.
Earlier that day, Turner had been spotted leaving Taylor Swift’s upscale Tribeca apartment, where she has been staying with her two daughters during this challenging time. Accompanied by her lawyer, the mother of two was seen leaving the luxurious residence.
The four-day mediation process is expected to address significant issues, including custody plans for their children, which has been a point of contention between the former couple. While Jonas has expressed his commitment to making the mediation work and avoiding a contentious legal battle, the focus remains on achieving a fair agreement for their daughters.
Their divorce proceedings became increasingly contentious when Turner sued Jonas for the return of their daughters to their “forever home” in England. Turner alleged that Jonas had been withholding their children’s passports, preventing her from taking them back to her home country, where they had initially planned to raise their family before their separation.
Jonas, known for his song “Waffle House,” denied these accusations, and the couple ultimately agreed to keep their children in New York while the legal battle unfolds.
Looking ahead, Jonas is seeking “50-50” joint custody, suggesting that their daughters may spend more time in the United States than originally intended. A judge has set their trial for January 2, underscoring the importance of the ongoing mediation sessions in reaching an amicable resolution for both parties.
As Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner continue to navigate the complexities of divorce, their commitment to finding common ground for the sake of their children remains at the forefront of their efforts.
