TMZ reported, "After their youngest child was born a year ago July, Sophie didn't want to leave their home…. She didn't want to be photographed or go to events.

"After a productive and successful mediation, we have agreed that the children will spend time equally in loving homes in both the U.S. and the UK. We look forward to being great co-parents," Turner and Jonas said in a joint statement at the time.

According to Teen Vogue, "the children will spend time with either parent for a predetermined period of time, after which they'll be returned to the other parent by either Turner or Jonas themselves or their nanny. The children are allowed to travel with their parent during their custody period, so the children can fly to the U.K. with Turner if needed."

“Joe is seeking shared parenting with the kids so that they are raised by both their mother and father, and is of course also okay with the kids being raised both in the U.S. and the U.K.,” the statement added, per Teen Vogue. "The children were born in the U.S. and have spent the vast majority of their lives in the U.S. They are American citizens."
