Sophie Turner Proves Joe Jonas Intended to Live in the U.K. Permanently
Sophie Turner recently filed court documents in an attempt to prove that Joe Jonas intended on living in the U.K. permanently with their family before their split.
While the estranged pair continue to battle it out over where their two children—Willa, 3, and Delphine, 14 months—will live in the wake of their divorce, the Game of Thrones actress offered up receipts to prove that she and the singer were looking for a permanent home in the U.K. just months before their breakup.
According to the documents obtained by Page Six, Jonas, 34, wrote a letter to the seller of a U.K. home back in June, telling the homeowner that they could envision the property as their "forever home."
"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," the Jonas Brothers singer reportedly wrote. "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 [redacted], we experienced a sense of magic unlike anything we had felt before."
He went on to say, "We can envision our children growing up here and making this our forever home" and, "I really think Sophie and I will be able to look after [redacted names] and for many years pay homage to the magic you have created here."
The letter, sent three months before Jonas filed for divorce from Turner, 27, seems to prove that the "Waffle House" singer did intend on living in the U.K. at one point, but according to sources who spoke to PEOPLE, the letter is unlikely to carry any legal weight.
"They did not buy the house. The house is in escrow, the sale never closed," the source told the outlet, adding, "They have never been residents of the U.K."
"Residency is a legal term and that is how the courts will define it. Residency includes things like where you have your driver’s license, where you vote, where your kids go to school, where you last lived as a family for a significant period of time (specifically 6 months)," the source explained, while noting that Turner and Jonas have never lived anywhere with their family for a significant period of time except for their residence in Miami, Fla.
"There is no place the family lived for 6 months or longer other than Florida," the source explained. "Intention, expressed in a letter or otherwise, does not equal residency. Actions do. And so while the letter was inserted in the motion in order to pique the attention of reporters, it won’t actually be material to determine legal residency."
