Several sources claiming to have ‘direct knowledge’ of the situation have informed US gossip sites including TMZ that Joe was watching his children full-time while on tour – while Sophie filmed for the new series of Joan in Britain.

Some fans online claimed the outing fueled claims that Turner was more interested in partying than taking care of her children, allegations that the actress has chosen not to make a public comment.
Instead, the actress hit back in court when the documents revealed her claim that the couple had agreed “with some hesitation” that the children would be with their father and a nanny during the month of August.
“When the Father is on tour, although he is busy performing in the evenings, he has periods of the day to spend time with the children,” the documents say.

Turner emphasized that the agreement to have the children ‘travel with the Father on tour’ would only be a temporary arrangement.”
The actress was scheduled to pick up the children in New York on September 14 and return to England with them.
As reports painted Jonas as a devoted father and Turner as a party animal emerged, a series of columns emerged defending the actress – and asking why the musician was being praised for taking care of his own children.
Raven Smith wrote for Vogue at the time: “Team Jonas throws a story about a careless mother into the proceedings and sees if it sticks, sowing the seeds of his wife being a less-than-gold star parent.
“Nobody says out loud that she’s undersized; it’s just heavily, heavily insinuated that her preference for going out clashes with his status as a roommate.
‘It’s reading between the lines: please, she’s not mothering at an acceptable level. The misogyny here is so ridiculously stark. All these maternal expectations only serve to keep women oppressed.”
Turner – who has been busy filming upcoming ITV drama Joan in Spain – appears to be moving on after her split from Jonas.
The actress tied the knot with Jonas in 2019 and they seemed in love until their shock split came to light.
