Sophie Turner is suing Joe Jonas over custody issues surrounding their two children, it has been claimed.<\/p>\n
The Game of Thrones actress, 27, and Jonas Brothers singer, 34, confirmed their divorce earlier this month after four years of marriage.<\/p>\n
Since then, the Sucker singer has faced backlash from fans while the mom-of-two has been spotted enjoying an evening out in New York with Taylor Swift.<\/p>\n
According to reports, Sophie has filed documents in Manhattan today, demanding the return of their daughters to the UK \u2013 with her ex\u2019s reps speaking out in a lengthy statement.<\/p>\n
In paperwork obtained by PageSix, she reportedly requested to secure \u2018the immediate return of children wrongfully removed or wrongfully retained\u2019, alleging that the \u2018wrongful retention\u2019 began on September 20.<\/p>\n
The outlet reports that the former couple had previously agreed to move to England together, and were said to be \u2018excited\u2019 for this, having found \u2018the perfect home\u2019 \u2013 even putting their property in Miami on the market.<\/p>\n

After relocating to England in April, Sophie is said to have started filming for Joan nearby, but Joe then embarked on a tour with his brothers.<\/p>\n
The paperwork reportedly claims that the pair agreed \u2018with hesitation\u2019 on a \u2018temporary arrangement\u2019 for the kids to be with the musician during this period as he would have more free time.<\/p>\n
\u2018The children would then at least be able to spend some time during the day with one of their parents until the mother finished her filming commitments,\u2019 the documents state, claiming that their marriage then broke down \u2018very suddenly\u2019 following an alleged argument in August.<\/p>\n
According to PageSix, the Cake By The Ocean star filed for divorce on September 1, with Sophie finding out \u2018from the media\u2019 days later.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Joe is thought to be in possession of their daughters\u2019 passports, with the actress accusing him of withholding the documents from her.<\/p>\n
\u2018The father has possession of the children\u2019s passports,\u2019 the paperwork reportedly claims. \u2018He refuses to return the passports to the mother and refuses to send the children home to England with the mother.\u2019<\/p>\n
The publication reports that Joe\u2019s attorney confirmed he will not return their passports, or give his consent for the children to move, which reportedly led to Sophie taking legal action.<\/p>\n
It is thought that she will name him in a similar lawsuit in the UK.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sophie and Joe first met in 2016 and soon started dating, before they went on to tie the knot in Las Vegas in 2019.<\/p>\n
In July, 2020, they welcomed Willa, their first child together, and added to their brood once again two years later.<\/p>\n
Although they have been in the limelight for years, they have remained fiercely guarded about their private life, making sure not to post pictures of their children on social media and not even sharing their youngest daughter\u2019s name.<\/p>\n

Amid intense speculation surrounding their marriage, they released a joint statement earlier this month, confirming they had decided to go their separate ways.<\/p>\n
\u2018After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage,\u2019 it read.<\/p>\n
\u2018There 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.\u2019<\/p>\n
