Joe Jonas is reportedly irate about the way Sophie Turner, his ex, is depicting him—as a neglectful parent, painting their children as the victims, a narrative exclusively uncovered by DailyMail.com.
The disintegration of the couple's relationship has become increasingly strained since Jonas, a 34-year-old singer, commenced divorce processes against Turner, the 27-year-old mother of his two children, in Miami, Florida, earlier this month.
Court documents reveal that Turner is seeking legal remedies against Jonas with the intention of moving their three and one-year-old daughters to her native UK. She has also leveled accusations against him, alleging that he has withheld the children's passports and has prohibited them from traveling to meet her, accusations which Jonas has vehemently denied.
Insiders informed DailyMail.com about Jonas's exasperation over the escalating conflict ensuing their four-year marital journey. A source exclusively shared with DailyMail.com: "Joe is fuming over Sophie's recent moves, which, according to him, paint him in a very poor light as a father. In his perspective, the route she has taken is reprehensible."
"This is merely the precursor to more turbulent times ahead," the source added, emphasizing Jonas's initial belief that they were making progress in divorce proceedings and figuring out co-parenting but now perceives the situation as being extremely chaotic and the recent lawsuit has derailed any semblance of positivity.
While navigating through the divorce, Jonas is also balancing his commitments with the Jonas Brothers tour. "He is inundated with frustration, and it seems like this emotional turmoil is far from over," the source mentioned.
Another source highlighted Jonas’s displeasure over his children being unnecessarily involved in their highly public and turbulent separation. Additionally, this source suggested that Jonas perceives Turner's recent appearances with his other ex, Taylor Swift, as contrived. "The children are the ones suffering," said the second insider, suggesting a reading between the lines is necessary given Jonas was the one who filed for divorce.
The source concluded by saying, "Joe is aiming for a peaceful resolution." It appears that Jonas is trying to maintain dignity in the situation, wishing for a friendly settlement, while dealing with the tumultuous situation and ensuing public drama.
