Sophie Turner spotted running errands with daughter Willa hours after filing Joe Jonas custody lawsuit

Sophie Turner was spotted running errands with her daughter Willa just hours after suing her estranged husband, Joe Jonas, for allegedly wrongfully retaining their children.

The casually dressed mother-daughter duo was photographed smiling and holding hands while running errands in New York City Thursday.

Along with an unidentified female friend, Turner and Willa, 3, shopped for art supplies at a CVS.

The “Game of Thrones” star, 27, wore a black T-shirt with matching joggers, white sneakers, a black baseball cap, sunglasses, a colorful purse and a sweatshirt tied around her waist.

Little Willa, who was seen carrying a doll, sported a purple T-shirt, gray shorts and toddler kicks.

Turner was also snapped leaving the St. Regis Hotel solo in the same outfit after grabbing lunch with some friends.

She seems to be attempting to live her life as normally as possible despite all the chaos going on in her personal life.

The blond beauty just filed a lawsuit against Jonas for the return of their two daughters, including a 1-year-old whose name they have yet to announce, to her home country of England.

She is seeking to secure “the immediate return of children wrongfully removed or wrongfully retained,” alleging that the “wrongful retention” began Wednesday.

Turner claimed in her filing that she and the Jonas Brothers frontman agreed over Christmas 2022 that they would move across the pond, claiming they even found the perfect home in the English countryside.

According to the “Dark Phoenix” star, that’s why they put their Miami estate up for sale.

Her suit stated the family officially relocated from Miami to England in April and that she began filming the miniseries “Joan” in early summer.

Jonas, for his part, started touring the US with his siblings in August.

According to Turner, she and Jonas, 34, agreed “with hesitation” to have their kids travel with him because he had more free time during the day to spend with them. However, she called it a “temporary arrangement.”

Turner claimed that the demise of the duo’s four-year-marriage “happened very suddenly” following an argument on Jonas’ birthday on Aug. 15.

The Grammy winner then filed for divorce in Miami on Sept. 5, which Turner allegedly found out about “through the media.”

When they met up to discuss their separation two weeks later, Turner claimed she “reiterated” their plan to have the children live England, but Jonas allegedly refused.

She claimed that he’s withholding the youngsters’ passports so that they can’t leave the US.

Jonas’ attorney confirmed on Tuesday that he won’t return the passports or consent to the daughters’ relocation, which prompted Turner’s lawsuit.

In response to her suit, the Grammy winner denied that he ever “abducted” their kids.

“Joe is seeking shared parenting with the kids so that they are raised by both their mother and father,” his rep said, insisting that he “is of course also okay with the kids being raised both in the US and the UK.”

The initial divorce filing, obtained by Page Six, restricts both parents from relocating with their children.

The rep also hit back at Turner’s claim that she found out about their divorce “through the media,” claiming she was “aware” Jonas was going to file following “multiple conversations.”

Divorce lawyers not affiliated with the case told Page Six on Thursday that the custody battle is just beginning and likely to be a “long” one, especially since it will likely include three separate jurisdictions — Miami, New York and the UK — and two different legal systems.

The former couple began dating in 2016 and tied the knot in a surprise Las Vegas ceremony three years later, following up their impromptu nuptials with an extravagant wedding in France.
