Sophie Turner Drops Child Abduction Charges Against Ex Joe Jonas Following Amicable Custody Agreement
Sophie Turner has dropped child abduction charges against her ex-husband Joe Jonas – three months after reaching an “amicable” custody deal.
Lawyers for the former couple asked a judge in their federal case in New York to throw out Turner’s previous filing, in which she claimed the Jonas Brothers singer kidnapped her daughters, Willa, 3, and Delphine, 1 year, in the middle of their divorce.
In September, Turner, 27, filed a lawsuit against her ex, seeking “the immediate return of children illegally removed or wrongfully retained,” according to court documents obtained by Page Six at the time.
The “Game of Thrones” alum claimed in the documents that Jonas, 34, began the “unwarranted detention” on September 20.
She said they had agreed at Christmas 2022 that they would make the UK their “forever home” and would start looking for schools for their eldest daughter, Willa.
Turner then claimed that the “Cake By the Ocean” singer withheld their daughters’ pa*sports so they couldn’t leave the United States.
However, Jonas denied ever “kidnapping” his daughters via a statement from his rep.
“Less than 24 hours later, Sophie announced that she wanted to take the children to the UK permanently. Subsequently, she demanded through this filing that Joe hand over the children’s pa*sports so that she could get them out of the country immediately,” the rep told Page Six.

“This is an unfortunate legal disagreement over a marriage that ended unfortunately. When terms such as “kidnapping” are used, they are misleading at best and, at worst, a serious abuse of the justice system.”
Jonas filed for divorce from Turner in September 2023 after four years of marriage.
Since then, the former couple has been engaged in a contentious custody battle over their two daughters.
However, last October, the “Sucker” musician and the mother of two — who married in May 2019 — reached a temporary custody agreement for the little ones that will last until January 2024.
Turner has since moved on with British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson and is said to be “really happy” with their budding romance.
Meanwhile, Jonas was spotted with his new friend Stormi Bree.
The DNCE frontman and the model, 33, were first spotted together at an airport in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, earlier this month.
They then flew to Aspen, Colorado, where they skied, sat on a ski lift together and even enjoyed a beer together.
