EXCLUSIVE: Joe Jonas is ‘LIVID’ with his ex Sophie Turner and thinks it is ‘disgusting’ that she is using their kids to try and make him look like ‘a horrible father’ – as insiders warn ‘this is just the start of things getting messier’

Joe Jonas is furious with ex Sophie Turner and thinks it is ‘disgusting’ that she has made him look like a ‘terrible father’ while ‘victimizing’ their children, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

The couple’s divorce has become increasingly messy after the 34-year-old singer filed for divorce from the mother of his two children, 27, in Miami, Florida, earlier this month.

It emerged on Thursday that Turner is now suing her ex to try to return their three- and one-year-old daughters to her native Britain, according to court documents.

She also accused him of withholding their children’s passports and refusing to let them travel to see her – before Jonas delivered a sensational rebuttal.

Sources have since told DailyMail.com that he is ‘frustrated’ that the divorce is turning into a ‘nasty mess’ after their four years of marriage.

A source exclusively told DailyMail.com: ‘Joe is furious at Sophie’s latest news, which makes him look like a terrible father.

‘It is disgusting in his eyes what she has chosen.

“This will just be the beginning of an increasingly messy and messy situation.

“Joe thought they were taking a step forward with the divorce and finding a way to co-parent, but now it’s just an ugly mess, and the latest lawsuit has taken away any positivity.”

The source continued, “With the divorce, Joe is also trying to adjust his commitments with the Jonas Brothers tour and just move in the opposite direction.

‘Frustration is the emotion running through him now and it doesn’t look like that will change anytime soon.’

A second source added that Joe is unhappy with the way his children have been dragged into his and Sophie’s very public divorce battle, while claiming that the singer believes the Game of Thrones star’s recent outings with his other ex, Taylor Swift, were staged.

“The children are the victims,” the other insider shared.

“Sophie and Taylor are not close. Joe took Sophie to a Taylor show, and it wasn’t even offered. Again, he is the one who filed for divorce. Read between the lines.’

They concluded: “Joe wants to take the right path and reach an amicable resolution.

“He just wants to compromise with Sophie so they can both be present as parents in their children’s lives. He loves his children and so do they.”

The insight comes as Turner sues ex-husband Jonas to try to return their two children to her native Britain, according to court documents filed Thursday, in the latest bitter twist in the couple’s messy divorce battle.

After this news emerged, a representative for Jonas said in a statement to DailyMail.com that the singer was seeking “shared parenting” with the Game Of Thrones star, adding: “The children have not been kidnapped.”

‘This is an unfortunate legal disagreement over a marriage that is unfortunately on the rocks. When language like “kidnapping” is used, it is at best misleading and at worst a serious abuse of the justice system. The children were not kidnapped,” the representative said.

“Having been in Joe’s care for the past three months by mutual consent, the children are currently with their mother.

‘Sophie is only making this claim to move the divorce proceedings to Britain and permanently remove the children from the US.’

Jonas’ rep also said that the singer had already “disavowed all statements allegedly made on his behalf that disparaged Sophie.”

“They were made without his approval and are not in accordance with his views. His wish is that Sophie reconsiders her harsh legal position and moves forward in a more constructive and private manner,” the statement said.

“His only concern is the well-being of his children.”

The rep also denied Turner’s claim that she was unaware he was filing for divorce.

‘After several conversations with Sophie, Joe initiated divorce proceedings in Florida, as Florida is the appropriate jurisdiction for the case. “Sophie knew Joe was going to file for divorce,” the rep said.

“The Florida court has already issued an order prohibiting both parents from moving the children. Sophie received this order on September 6, 2023, just over two weeks ago.’

Furthermore, Jonas’ rep said that the former couple had a “cordial meeting in New York” last Sunday, where Turner had arrived to be with their children.

“They have been with her since that meeting. Joe’s impression of the meeting was that they had come to an agreement that they would work together toward an amicable co-parenting arrangement,” the statement said.

‘Less than 24 hours later, Sophie said she wanted to take the children to Britain permanently. She then demanded through this filing that Joe hand over the children’s passports so that she could immediately take them out of the country. If he complies, Joe will be in violation of the Florida court’s order.”
