Joe filed a petition for dissolution of marriage from Sophie Turner on Tuesday in Miami-Dade County, Florida. It stated the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken after rumors circulated over the weekend. Joe tried to dispel them on Monday, posting to IG a photo that not so subtly flaunted his wedding ring. On Wednesday morning, the couple released a joint statement saying in part, “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 and Sophie were legally married in May of 2019 in Las Vegas, following that year’s Billboard Music Awards. A month later, they had a full ceremony in France with family and friends.
