Sophie Turner has reactivated her divorce proceedings as she and Joe Jonas have failed to reach a settlement.
The Jonas Brothers star, 34, filed for divorce from the Game of Thrones actress, 27, in September last year – after four years of marriage.
Their split later took a messy turn as Sophie filed a lawsuit against Joe at the US District Court in New York, petitioning for the return of their two daughters Willa, 3, and Delphine, 1, to her native England.
The pair previously announced that they would be settling their divorce privately in a joint statement.
In October last year, the couple reached a temporary custody agreement and later released a joint statement about their co-parenting dynamic.
They told Page Six at the time: “After a productive and successful mediation, we have agreed that the children will spend time equally in loving homes in both the US and the UK.”
“We look forward to being great co-parents,” the pair added.
However, the former couple were unable to agree and now the Game Of Thrones star has asked the judge to end their marriage and rule on who gets custody of their daughters.
The pair chose mediation initially in an attempt to keep their marital issues private.
However, that is set to change now as their filings which outline their disputes are set to become public.
The couple’s biggest disagreement is about where the children should live full-time.
The actress wants to take them to her native UK, whereas Joe wants to keep them in the United States.
In September last year, the X-Men actress claimed she had irrefutable proof that she and Joe had been planning a future together in England.
In court documents, Sophie shared a letter allegedly penned by her estranged husband, to persuade a homeowner in Wallingford, Oxford to sell them their $9.1 million estate.
The letter reads: “When my wife and I decided we were going to spend more time in the UK and search for a permanent home, our daughter expressed three unwavering requirements: having chickens, a pony and a Wendy house.”
“While many of the houses we viewed met this criteria, the moment we turned the corner and caught sight of the charming blue shutters adorning, we experienced a sense of magic unlike anything we had felt before.”
According to Page Six, Joe claimed he saw himself having picnics there with his daughters Willa and Delphine, alongside the property’s “beautiful walled garden”.
“I have been completely charmed by the idea of dropping my children to school on the boat and being able to spend a leisurely afternoon cruising to the pub with friends on my very own boat,” Joe allegedly continued. “You have designed your home beautifully – I was incredibly inspired by the layout of the rooms and the energy of the house.”
“I couldn’t help but notice the musicality of the house and the fact it has a huge room ready to be my recording studio is amazing – there is nothing about the design we would want to change.”
The dad-of-two allegedly added that his father-in-law Andrew “is an incredibly keen gardener” that was “suitably impressed” by the home’s vegetable garden.
Speaking about their future, Joe allegedly said he could “envision” their children “growing up here and making this our forever home”.
Joe allegedly concluded that his family would spend “many years” paying “homage to the magic” that the previous homeowner “created”.
The homeowner is said to have accepted the former couple’s offer on the property and a 10 per cent deposit of $914,130 on July 7 – just two months before their split.
