Joe Jonas made a surprising admission about co-parenting with his ex-wife, Sophie Turner, in a new interview last week.
The two, whose contentious divorce occasionally played out in the public eye, seemed to be making strides toward a more positive relationship.
“They have an incredible mom. I have a beautiful co-parenting relationship that I’m really grateful for,” Jonas said to applause in a now-viral TikTok video, which showed the musician making an appearance on Jay Shetty’s On Purpose Live Tour in Hollywood, Florida, on Friday.
“Having an incredible mom, Sophie, for those girls is like a dream come true,” Jonas said. “So I think naturally, as young girls, looking up to great women is what I want for them.”
He added, “I think what values I want for them ― I want them to be open-minded and have a big heart, be able to walk into any room and feel confidence and know that they can do literally anything they want. Now, doing music or acting ― we might want them to wait a little while!”

After Jonas shared the sweet admission about his ex-wife, the “Game of Thrones” star posted an Instagram story supporting Jonas’ new music.
“Go go @joejonas,” she wrote, with a screenshot of the musician’s new album, “Music for People Who Believe in Love.”
Jonas and Turner were first linked together in 2016, and later tied the knot in two separate celebrations in 2019.
They welcomed their first child, Willa, in 2020. The couple’s second child, Delphine, was born in 2022.
After reports that the two were experiencing marital struggles, Jonas filed for divorce in September 2023. The “Camp Rock” actor reportedly called the two’s marriage “irretrievably broken” in documents obtained by Today.com, and sources soon told TMZ that “she likes to party, he likes to stay at home.”
Things got messy when a child abduction lawsuit was leveled at Jonas, though that was later dismissed by a judge. The couple later put out a statement after reaching a custody agreement for their two children.
“After a productive and successful mediation, we have agreed that the children will spend time equally in loving homes in both the U.S. and the UK,” the two said in a statement to People magazine at the time. “We look forward to being great co-parents.”
