While Joe was visibly moved, he wasn't the only one. His parents, Denise and Kevin Jonas Sr., were among the spectators. A video clip showed Denise covering her mouth and shaking her head as her sons began the touching rendition. Despite his emotional state, Joe continued to perform the chorus alongside his brothers, Nick and Kevin.
Addressing the Rumors
During the same concert, Joe took the opportunity to address the swirling rumors about his personal life. "It's been a crazy week, I just wanna say, look—if you don't hear it from these lips, don't believe it. OK?" he cautioned the audience.
The End of a Chapter
Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner, parents to three-year-old Willa and another daughter born last year, officially filed for divorce on September 5. The couple released a joint statement, saying, "After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage." They urged the public to respect their privacy, especially for the sake of their children.
Behind Closed Doors
Insiders revealed to Page Six that Joe had been struggling with unhappiness in his marriage for some time. "Divorce was a last resort for Joe. He never wanted to break up his family, but he had to take what he felt was the best course of action for his girls," one source said. "An unhappy home isn't a home, and the truth is that he and Sophie were going through it this year."
A Love Story That Was
The couple, who have yet to disclose the name of their second daughter, initially tied the knot in a spontaneous Las Vegas ceremony in May 2019. They later celebrated their union with a more lavish affair in France. As they navigate this difficult period, their love story, encapsulated in songs like 'Hesitate,' serves as a poignant reminder of happier times.
