Joe Jonas looked chipper and healthy on his playful Saturday Night Live cameo in March and a source exclusively tells Life & Style that he’s finally gotten his groove back after a harrowing divorce from Sophie Turner – whilst raring to go on his upcoming world tour.
“When the Jonas Brothers announced their huge tour this year, questions always come up about Joe’s part in that,” a friend of the boy band member, 35, exclusively tells Life & Style. “Nick [Jonas] and Kevin [Jonas] are gung-ho road dogs but Joe has been so focused on parenting and adjusting to his new single life that the timing for yet another gigantic roadshow seemed a little off.”
The insider adds that “it was a relief to see Joe” during his SNL appearance “because he only agrees to that kind of thing when he’s in the mood for it.”
“You could really see that he has his smile back and is enjoying life on the East Coast where he’s got a great family support system around him,” the source continues. “Sure, his pals in LA [this source included] wish they could see more of the guy, but his head and his heart are in a good place and he seems like he [is] finally ready to move on after his divorce. A lot of people are rooting for him, and it looks like he’s really aware of that!”
Joe and Sophie, 29, were once a fan-favorite couple, so many fans were shocked when he filed for divorce after four years of marriage in September 2023. While their split initially seemed amicable, the exes soon found themselves in a legal battle over the custody of their kids, Willa, 4, and Delphine, 2.
Despite the drama, Joe and Sophie’s divorce was eventually finalized in September 2024.
While Joe now seems to be in good spirits and is keeping busy as he and his brothers prepare to set out on their Living the Dream tour, that hasn’t always the case for the “Lovebug” singer.
In December 2024, an additional insider exclusively told Life & Style that Joe was harboring anger over their split. After noting that he was “being a lot more cordial with Sophie and has stopped trash talking her” due to their shared mutual friends, the source said that he hasn’t “truly forgiven her.”

“He’s still holding a huge grudge and so is she,” the insider continued. “Most of the time they use their nannies to do the kids’ drop offs, but there are times they see each other and it’s beyond uncomfortable.”
Meanwhile, a third source exclusively told Life & Style that Joe was leaning on Kevin, 37, and Nick, 32, during the difficult time.
“They’re going to be on the road from August until mid-November, plus all the time they’ll be spending preparing, it’s going to be the most time they’ve spent together since they broke up,” the insider said in an April interview. “They’re all excited about it, but Joe is for sure the most hyped. Kevin and Nick are happily married, their wives and kids will come to some of the stops, but they won’t be joining them for the whole tour.”
Joe was said to be “very lost” following their split, and the source said he was “still quite adrift without Sophie.”
“Having his family around him like this is the best thing that could happen for him,” the insider continued. “Nick and Kevin are already talking about how they’ll be homesick, whereas Joe doesn’t really have a home to be missing at this point.”
