Jones and Turner married in 2019 after nearly three years of dating and celebrated with two weddings: one in Las Vegas and the other in France.

They share two children: Willa, 3, and a second daughter, identified in the divorce documents as D.J., whom they welcomed in July 2022.

On Saturday, Jonas had retained a divorce lawyer, despite continuing to wear his wedding band. 

Three days later, a source told PEOPLE that the duo had been living separate lives for months and had spent the whole summer apart.

According to the insider, the "Do Revenge" actress and "Sucker" singer "haven't gotten along in a while, but they're hoping to resolve this all amicably."

"As far as custody goes, this literally all just happened, so they're figuring it out in real time," the source added. 

"They did have a prenup. As a family, they were based in Florida. The kids were with him the last few months, traveling with him with family while he's been on tour. Sophie's been working in the UK."

Jonas claims in his divorce papers that the duo's two daughters have been living with him as of late.
