Singer Joe Jonas and actress Sophie Turner have shared an official statement to confirm their divorce. Taking to their official social media accounts on Wednesday, the celebrity couple said that they have 'mutually decided' to amicably end their marriage.

According to media reports, Joe has asked for joint custody of the couple's children.
