Sophie Turner has broken her silence on the “shocking” aftermath of her split from Joe Jonas.
The Jonas Brothers singer, 34, filed for divorce from the Game of Thrones star, 28, last year.
The former couple were married for four years, and share two daughters together – Willa, 3, and Delphine, 1.

During a new cover interview with Vogue, the actress confessed the days after their split announcement were “the worst few days of my life.”
Sophie also hit back at claims of her being a “party girl”, which emerged after their split hit headlines.
The mum-of-two confessed: “I mean, those were the worst few days of my life. There were some days that I didn’t know if I was going to make it.”
“I would call my lawyer saying, ‘I can’t do this. I just can’t.’ I was just never strong enough to stand up for myself.”
“And then, finally, after two weeks of me being in a rut, she reminded me that it was my children I was fighting for,” she continued.
“Once anyone says to me, ‘Do it for your kids,’ I’m doing it. I wouldn’t do it for myself, but I’ll find the strength for them.”
At the time, Sophie was filming in the UK, while her two daughters were in the US with Joe.
The 28-year-old said: “I was contracted to be on set for another two weeks, so I couldn’t leave. My kids were in the States and I couldn’t get to them because I had to finish Joan. And all these articles started coming out.”
“It hurt because I really do completely torture myself over every move I make as a mother – mom guilt is so real,” she continued, addresing rumours that the former couple had split because Sophie was partying too much.
“I just kept having to say to myself, ‘None of this is true. You are a good mom and you’ve never been a partier.'”
“It’s unfathomable the amount of people that will just make s**t up and put it up based on a picture.”
“A picture might tell a thousand words, but it’s not my story. It felt like I was watching a movie of my life that I hadn’t written, hadn’t produced, or starred in. It was shocking. I’m still in shock,” she added.
Joe filed for divorce from Sophie in September, stating that their marriage was “irretrievably broken.”
Their split later took a messy turn when the Game of Thrones actress filed a lawsuit against Joe at the US District Court in New York, petitioning for the return of their two daughters to her native England.
In October, Sophie and Joe reached a temporary custody agreement, and later released a joint statement about their co-parenting dynamic.
They told Page Six: “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.”
After reaching this agreement, Joe filed to dismiss his petition for dissolution, which he filed in Miami.
Joe and Sophie famously tied the knot in Las Vegas following the Billboard Music Awards in May 2019.
One month later, the couple hosted a second ceremony at Château de Tourreau in Sarrians, France.
