Joe Jonas seeks solace in the company of his brother, Nick Jonas, as they were spotted dining together the night before his wife, Sophie Turner, filed a lawsuit seeking custody of their children.
Key Takeaway
Joe Jonas is seen dining with his brother Nick Jonas amidst the custody battle initiated by Sophie Turner, who wants their children returned to England.
A Night Out at The Waverly Inn
The two-thirds of the Jo Bros were seen at The Waverly Inn in New York City on Wednesday night, engaged in what seemed to be an intense conversation over dinner.
Interestingly, this restaurant is just a few blocks away from where we spotted Sophie hanging out with another one of Joe’s exes, Taylor Swift, the previous night.
Sophie was also seen at New York’s St. Regis Hotel the following day, just hours after filing the lawsuit against her estranged husband. It appears they are still in close proximity to each other.
According to reports, Sophie claims that Joe is illegally keeping their two daughters in New York and wants them both to be brought back to England, as outlined in the explosive lawsuit filed Thursday morning.
The Custody Battle
In the lawsuit, Sophie states that she agreed “somewhat reluctantly” to leave the children with Joe while she was working on her series abroad. However, this agreement was only supposed to last until September, when she would “pick up the children and return home to England.”
She even referenced an international treaty dealing with child abduction between countries, indicating that she is taking the matter very seriously in her quest to have her daughters returned to her.
In response, Joe’s representative issued an extensive statement, highlighting that Sophie’s desires would violate a court order that restricts both parents from relocating the children. The statement also reiterated Joe’s willingness to share custody if Sophie were to move to England full-time.
