One more Hollywood marriage has come to an end. After four years together, Joe Jonas is separating from Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner. However, the exact reason behind the decision is yet to be revealed as speculations are floating around. Read on to find out what the internet thinks.
Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas’ Divorce
The couple has two small children and has been on the edge of separating a few times throughout the years. Apparently, Joe Jonas has hired Tiger Woods’ divorce attorney and has reportedly had his team start rumors about Sophie Turner being a bad mother. Sources close to the couple say that the singer has tried to save the marriage numerous times, but in the end, filing for divorce was the only thing he could do.
Supposedly Turner’s love for parties clashed against Joe’s stay-at-home persona, causing the rift in their relationship. Sophie’s alleged overpartying seems like an interesting strategy from Jonas’s side. His team claims that Sophie is constantly absent from family duties and she’s not mothering at an acceptable standard.
The Mom-Shaming Culture
We bet you’ve heard of this type of narrative before; a woman is expected to leave behind her own needs and interests to be fully present in her children’s lives at all times. These centuries-old societal expectations are what’s happening to Sophie.
What happens when women don’t follow every rule society makes for moms? A lot of people think that a woman should be a stay-at-home mom, constantly taking care of her child and husband’s needs. Going on a girls’ night out? Unacceptable! All these motherly expectations only aim to keep women feeling repressed. The mom-shaming culture is indeed a thing nowadays, and it’s getting out of control.
What Does the Internet Think?
The Internet, however, did not disappoint us this time. Seeing Joe’s reported allegations against Sophie Turner, fans have come together to support the actress and defend her.
After Joe announced the divorce on Instagram, the comment section was quick to attack him for his actions. It definitely feels refreshing to see people supporting a woman instead of bashing her and blaming her for the end of the relationship.
