If Joe wants to give them that in the US, then he can settle down in the city of his choice, create a stable support system around them with his family, and do it. There is literally nothing stopping him from saying "actually, we can create a stable life for them her in [NY or LA] and I'm looking into houses and schools and figuring it out. But he's not. Sophie has actually figured that out. She's actually taken steps to create a life for their kids and put thought into how to do it so that it's safe and stable for them. She's chosen Warwickshire over London specifically because she wants to give her kids a childhood like the one she had. Joe is mad about the fact that it's a life based in the UK, but why isn't he trying to create a similar life for them in the US? While in the US, the bounced from LA to Miami and now don't even have a home here where their kids have rooms of their own. What kind of life is that? |
Is making fatherhood work for him also important? They both became parents at the same time. They should have been focusing on making parenthood work for them. Her staying in the US means she is away from her family and support network and him going to the UK means he is away from his family and his support network. |
I can't cut and paste but here's the full document the Daily Fail took that from that also details where they lived April-August: https://www.scribd.com/document/672750407/Sophie-Turner-Joe-Jonas I know this might come as a shock to you, but the Daily Mail is an absolute piece of excrement, not worth the pixels it's printed on, and just repeating crap they "report" is like picking trash out of garbage and serving it to houseguests. |
No argument that the Daily Mail is atrocious, but I've been pretty perturbed by the reporting of a lot of news outlets, having actually read the filing. So many quoting things out of context, mischaracterizing things, etc. I should know better, I guess, but it's pretty shocking. |
This won't go over well with some people, but when kids are under age 5, I think it is much more important to make sure the mom gets the support she needs, because she's generally doing a lot more heavy lifting in terms parenting. I know these are rich, famous people but I doubt their dynamic is much different. Who hires the nannies? Who arranges play dates and enrolls them in activities? Who makes sure they are eating or deals with sleep regressions or finds a good pediatrician in whatever new city they are living in? Who figures out that one kid is afraid of the dark and needs a special night light or she won't be able to fall asleep without someone in the room, but the other one always needs to be give 10 and 5 mint warnings before literally any change of venue or she will absolutely lose her mind? And so on. Yes, nannies will do some of this. Kids still need parents and in most marriages, the mom does the vast majority of that plus is in charge of hiring the nanny and maintaining that relationship. Thus, most of the time with little kids, it makes sense to live where the mom has the best support network, because she's doing more. I think that's why you see that Sophie has gone to great lengths to construct a home and lifestyle that will be supportive in that way, while Joe has a touring schedules that takes him into the middle of next year and doesn't even have a home. Dads often do not think about this stuff, they let mom do it. Well mom needs help. |
Agree, though some of those are obviously also planted stories by Joe in which the selected quotes were clearly chosen to frame things in a specific way. |
If you read Sophie's filing, it explains their move to the UK in April 2023 and the fact that they have been based their since then. Joe then went on tour and it was agreed he would take them for the month of August and then Sophie would meet them in NY (before the fight happened.) |
I hope Millie Bobbie Brown is paying attention. She’s only 19 and getting married. |
Now TMZ has a picture of them together out for dinner with their kids on Monday. |
I think she was embarrassed at all the talk of her partying and this stunt is damage control. Joe Jonas is not flakey and even his statement was calm and reasonable. The kids are American citizens and have never lived abroad so this idea of homeland feels like a stunt. He also said the kids can go back and forth but her attempt to have this adjudicated abroad is lame. He is going to be super careful after what Kelly Rutherford has experienced when her kids got shipped abroad. Hopefully they can work this out. Sad to see this kind of drama. |
I’m his age. I wouldn’t mind a crested career and 50mil in the bank. |
The kids are also UK citizens and dad decided to divorce mom who lives in the UK. It’s reasonable for her to want a UK court to decide custody considering they own a home there and intended to settle there long term. He’s a monster trying to steal kids don’t their mother |
She had no reason to be embarrassed because the talk of her partying was made up. Joe now claims he wasn't behind those rumors but, uh... who was? If it wasn't him, it was someone close to him who thought they were doing him a favor, because they were transparent efforts to smear Sophie as a bad mom right before a huge custody battle. If Joe didn't actually plant the items, he knows who did. The kids are dual citizens and have spent quite a bit of time in the UK. The youngest is barely a year so like 20-30% of her life. And Sophie's entire family is there. So it's not a "stunt" -- they are British citizens and their British mom wants to live with them in England. Which means if Sophie's desire to adjudicate it in England is "lame" then Joe's attempt to adjudicate it in the US (especially in Florida where they no longer live) is also "lame." Very little similarity to the Rutherford case -- her kids got "shipped abroad" because she messed up her legal case by trying to keep the kids from him altogether and trying to get him deported. Hopefully none of that happens here. |
Isn’t it good that they are keeping it together and spending time with the kids? That’s the only positive thing I’ve read about Jonas. |
The kids have never lived in UK . The kids were born in USA and their passports are USA. If they were British she could have gotten another passport but she cannot. This is all a stunt. Interesting that she was seen having lunch with him and the kids which backs up his surprise that she suddenly went scorched earth. |
