Joe Jonas Addresses Sophie Turner Divorce Speculation, Cries During 'Hesitate'

Joe Jonas has taken a stand against the rumors and speculation surrounding his divorce from Sophie Turner. On a Saturday night, Joe, along with his brothers Nick and Kevin Jonas, known as the Jonas Brothers, graced the stage at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles for their concert tour. During the second act of the show, just before performing their song "Hesitate," Joe took a moment to address the audience.

In a video captured by a fan, Joe conveyed a clear message to the crowd, addressing what he called his "crazy week." He stated, "Look, if you don't hear it from these lips, don't believe it, OK." Joe expressed his gratitude to the audience and their fans, saying, "Thank you everyone for the love and support. Me and my family love you guys."

After this brief statement, Joe went on to perform "Hesitate," a song he had written about his relationship with Sophie Turner. During the performance, the 34-year-old singer became visibly emotional, and he received hugs and support from his older and younger brothers on stage. Among the audience members showing their support were their youngest brother, Franklin Jonas, and Nick's wife, Priyanka Chopra Jonas.

These heartfelt sentiments from Joe came just three days after he and Sophie had released a joint statement confirming their divorce and quashing any rumors about the reasons behind their marriage ending. In the statement, they expressed, "After four wonderful years of marriage, we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage. There are many speculative narratives as to why, but truly, this is a united decision, and we sincerely hope that everyone can respect our wishes for privacy for us and our children."

According to documents obtained by ET, Joe Jonas filed for divorce in Miami, Florida, citing that "the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken." The petition also mentioned that the couple's two children had been residing with Joe in Miami, Florida, and that "it is in the best interests of the minor children that the parties have shared parental responsibility." Additionally, it was revealed that the former couple had a prenuptial agreement in place.

A source had previously informed ET that Joe and Sophie's children, listed on the divorce filing as W.J. and D.J., had been living with their father over the summer while Sophie Turner was busy with her work on set. The source explained, "Sophie was busy on set filming this summer, so Joe and Sophie figured this setup would be best for their kids. Sophie and Joe's children have been with Joe while he's been touring because he is surrounded by family, and it's nice for the kids to be around their aunts, uncles, and cousins."

In addition to his responsibilities as a father, Joe has remained dedicated to his music career. The source also shared, "The Jonas Brothers have been working hard to generate excitement around their tour and have been focused on creating an exciting atmosphere."
