As Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner go head-to-head in their contentious divorce battle, insiders reveal what's really going on behind the scenes

ROCKY SPLIT

On Sept. 18, exes Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas were spotted getting lunch together with their daughters at Momofuku Noodle Bar Uptown in NYC. According to reports, despite Jonas having filed for divorce on Sept. 5, the former couple seemed amicable enough as they sat alongside their young kids in a booth at the casual restaurant.

The united front didn’t last long. Just two days later, Turner, 27, sued Jonas, 34, claiming their children were being wrongfully detained in the U.S. despite her wishes to take Willa, 3, and their 14-month-old (referred to by her initials, D.J., in court papers) to her native England. In response, a rep for Jonas released a statement to Us saying that Turner had filed in court “only to move the divorce proceedings to the UK and to remove the children from the U.S. permanently.”

On Sept. 25, a judge ordered Turner and Jonas to keep the kids in New York, but sources tell Us there may be no end in sight to the ongoing drama between the singer and the Game of Thrones actress. “Nobody close to them thought things would get this nasty between Joe and Sophie,” one source tells Us. “Friends are hopeful they can be mature for the sake of the kids, but neither one is going to acquiesce to the other. This could go on for a very long time”
