Sophie Turner returning to UK after bitter custody battle with ex Joe Jonas
The pair announced news of their divorce in 2023.
Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner is reportedly returning to the UK with her daughters in the wake of her custody battle with ex-husband Joe Jonas.
Sophie, 29, had been locked in a bitter war with the Jonas Brothers star, 35, over custody of their two daughters, Willa, four, and Delphine, two.
Following their 2023 break up, Sophie sued her ex-husband, citing parental child abduction laws to prevent him from keeping their daughters in America.
During this time, she demanded that he hand over the girls’ passports, so that they may be allowed to join her in England. However, these allegations were later dropped.
The pair also seemed to have come to an amicable agreement about their daughters’ future.
It has now been reported that Sophie and Joe have agreed that she will return to the UK with Willa and Delphine.

Family sources have told the publication that Sophie is currently looking at local schools for the girls.
Meanwhile, Waffle House singer Joe has remained in the US after the couple sold their $15 million (£11.5 million) Miami mansion – with their New York condo selling a year later, for just under $6million (£4.6 million).

But in 2023, they released a joint statement announcing an end to their marriage.
‘After four wonderful years of marriage, we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage,’ they wrote.
‘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.’

Joe’s rep told Page Six it was a ‘harsh legal position’ that doesn’t align with their ‘amicable co-parenting setup’.
In January 2024, Sophie is said to have asked a judge to dismiss the action and the couple were able to proceed with the interim custody proceedings ‘amicably.’

Peregrine is the eldest son and heir of Michael Pearson, the 4th Viscount Cowdray – a former film producer with an estimated net worth of more than £224million, according to reports.
Meanwhile, Joe was photographed on a skiing trip with former beauty queen Stormi Bree in Aspen last year. The pair dated for five months before breaking up in May.
