Joe Jonas opens up on fatherhood journey, praises ex-Sophie Turner as co-parent
Los Angeles, June 8
Singer and actor Joe Jonas has opened up on how fatherhood has changed his perspective on life.
In the recent episode of his podcast 'Hey Jonas', the father-of-two engaged in a Q&A round alongside his brothers Nick Jonas and Kevin Jonas, when the trio were asked by a fan about how becoming father has been healing for them.
Reflecting on being a single dad, Joe Jonas shared that he has been able to rely on his co-parent, ex-wife Sophie Turner, to get through the "bad days."
"I think in my saddest moments, I'm able to be reminded quickly that a hug from them can solve the world's problems, in my own world. And I know I'm not hyper unique. There are a lot of people in my situation that are single parents and go through this," the singer shared, as quoted by People.
Joe shared that he has been grateful to Turner as a co-parent.
"I'm grateful that I have a co-parent that I can balance even the bad days. But I think being able to have good people around me to help me navigate it is really special, and they've taught me that I'll be okay. Even in my toughest days," the singer added.
Turner and Jonas finalised their divorce in September 2024, following a highly publicised custody dispute in 2023. Despite the challenges, both have since spoken positively about their co-parenting arrangement.
"I have a beautiful coparenting relationship that I'm really grateful for," Jonas said during Jay Shetty's On Purpose Live Tour in May 2025. He also praised Turner's role as a mother, calling her "an incredible mom" and a strong role model for their daughters.
Sophie Turner, in an interview, also acknowledged Joe's role as a father to their kids. "Joe is a great father to our children, and that's all that I can ask for," she had said.
Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas are parents to two daughters.

Honestly, it's complicated. Celebrity divorces are never easy, and the media often sensationalises them. Glad they're mature enough to keep it civil for the kids. Wish more Bollywood stars could learn from this.
I appreciate the honesty about "bad days" and leaning on co-parents. It's not easy raising kids alone, kabhi kabhi toh aise lagega sab kuch gira hua hai. But at least they're trying their best.
Another celebrity PR piece about co-parenting. What about the actual children? Fame and money can't buy a normal childhood. Just saying. 🙄
Good for them! In India, co-parenting is still a taboo in many families. People stay in unhappy marriages just for "what society will say." It's time we normalise healthy breakups like this.
I'm happy they're getting along for the kids. But let's not forget the messy custody battle in 2023. Hope this isn't just a PR show, actions speak louder. Still, wish them all the best.
