In a somber turn of events following days of swirling rumors, the news has been confirmed: Joe Jonas has initiated divorce proceedings from Sophie Turner.
The paperwork was filed in Miami Dade County, Florida, with Joe noting the marriage was "irretrievably broken."
The two were first spotted together in November 2016, capturing public attention with their blooming relationship. Not long after, in just over a year, Joe took to Instagram to announce their engagement, showcasing Sophie's impressive diamond engagement ring.
Sophie's unique ring has recently come under renewed focus. Experts from Steven Stone revisited the details of her engagement jewelry, shedding light on its characteristics and estimated value.
Taking center stage is the 3-carat pear-cut diamond. Pear-shaped diamonds, recognized for their simplicity and timeless appeal, often feature in engagement rings. Also referred to as teardrop or pendeloque diamonds, they blend the features of an oval and marquise cut diamond, emanating unmatched brilliance and fire.

Such designs are not just symbolic but are also trendy, especially among celebrities. Names such as Anna Kournikova, Victoria Beckham, and Bella Thorne come to mind, all of whom have sported similar pear-cut designs.
Maxwell Stone, offering insights, noted: "When Joe Jonas got down on one knee to Sophie Turner, he did so with an incredibly unique engagement ring that has become one of our favourites."

As a reference point, Anna Kournikova's ring from Enrique Iglesias showcases an 11ct natural pink pear-cut diamond, valued at a staggering $2.5 million.
However, the beauty of the ring is only part of the story. Just a day after Joe's divorce filing, Sophie took to Instagram to share a joint statement.

The duo further addressed the public and media, urging: "We sincerely hope that everyone can respect our wishes for privacy for us and our children."
While rumors suggest Joe has been the primary caregiver to their daughters post-separation, other speculations about differing lifestyles have surfaced online.
These rumors were promptly dismissed on X, previously known as Twitter, as attempts to tarnish Sophie's reputation as a mother.

In the divorce documentation, Joe emphasized the importance of shared parental responsibilities, stating: "It is in the best interests of the minor children that the parties have shared parental responsibility."
