Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas were once seen as one of Hollywood's hottest couples – but they have now officially divorced.
A Florida judge has declared Jonas and Turner divorced and single, signing off on a confidential agreement between the two after months of public drama.
The Miami-Dade County judge approved the agreement on Friday, one year after the 35-year-old Jonas Brothers singer filed to divorce the 28-year-old Game Of Thrones and X-Men actress and five years after the two were married.
The pair had previously been embroiled in a bitter public row over where their two children would live but they have now agreed to share custody after resolving their legal dispute.
They announced their “amicable” divorce in the summer of 2023, but then Turner sued Jonas, claiming he hadn’t let the girls return to the UK from the US while staying with him.
Turner and Jonas have since agreed on a co-parenting strategy, and court documents said that moderated negotiations led to an agreement on splitting assets, spousal support and custody of their two daughters, four-year-old Willa and two-year-old Delphine.
Judge Gina Beovides declared the marriage was "irretrievably broken", and that the couple's agreement, especially their parenting plan, was in the best interest of the family.
Here's everything you need to know about their relationship – from how they met, to their wedding in the south of France, their baby news – and, now, divorce.

The singer then issued a statement rejecting any suggestion that he has “abducted” their two daughters.
A statement issued by his representative said: “This is an unfortunate legal disagreement about a marriage that is sadly ending. When language like ‘abduction’ is used, it is misleading at best, and a serious abuse of the legal system at worst. The children were not abducted.
“After being in Joe’s care for the past three months at the agreement of both parties, the children are currently with their mother. Sophie is making this claim only to move the divorce proceedings to the UK and to remove the children from the US permanently,” it continued.
