Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner are speaking out publicly for the first time since the pop star filed for divorce in a Miami court on Tuesday.

“Statement from the two of us,” Jonas and Turner began in a post each shared to their Instagram accounts.

“After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage. There are many speculative narratives as to why but, truly this is a united decision and we sincerely hope that everyone can respect our wishes for privacy for us and our children.”

Documents reviewed by Fox News Digital show that Jonas, 34, filed for divorce from the “Game of Thrones” actress, 27, on Tuesday In Miami-Dade County. He is represented by Thomas J. Sasser, the attorney obtained by Tiger Woods in his own divorce.

The couple share two young daughters together, Willa, 3 and another daughter whose initials are identified in the filing as “D.J.”

Jonas called the marriage “irretrievably broken” in the filing.

Since rumors began circulating earlier this week that the couple were headed toward a divorce, media outlets have run multiple narratives, many of which identify Turner’s “partying” as a reason for their divorce – something the former couple denied in their statement.

The split news came as a shock to fans, as Turner had posted a photo of herself kissing Jonas’ hand backstage at his Jonas Brothers tour to Instagram just a few weeks ago, while Jonas posted a photo flaunting his wedding ring as the divorce rumors sparked earlier this week.

The couple, who reportedly had a prenuptial agreement, recently sold the Miami home they purchased together in 2021 for $15 million.

Jonas and Turner initially met after the musician messaged her on Instagram, becoming engaged a year later in 2017.

“We had a lot of mutual friends and they’d been trying to introduce us for a long time,” Turner shared with Harper’s Bazaar UK in 2019. “We were following each other on Instagram and he direct-messaged me one fine day, out of the blue.”

The couple had an impromptu wedding at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas following the Billboard Music Awards in 2019. They were married by an Elvis impersonator.
