Sophie Turner, who married Joe Jonas last year, has confessed she wasn’t a Jonas Brothers fan – and assumed her future husband was a “d**k.”
The actress told Elle that she and her friends once blamed the Jonas Brothers for the demise of UK boy band Busted.
“They had a hit called ‘Year 3000.’ It was amazing, and we were huge Busted fans,” Turner recalled. “Then the Jonas Brothers covered the song and made it massive. And Busted broke up. We thought it was all the Jonas Brothers’ fault. So we hated them.”
Fast forward to 2016, when Jonas was in the UK to perform with his band DNCE. He DMed Turner and asked if she would like to hang out. They made a plan to meet at a bar in Camden.
“I expected him to show up with security and everything. I thought, ‘He’s gonna be such a d**k.’ I brought all my guy friends to come with me to meet him, because in the back of my mind I still worried that he could be a catfish – or I don’t know what,” said Turner. “I just wanted my guy friends with me. I had my rugby boys. I was safe.”
She recalled how Jonas showed up with a friend and no security.
“I remember the two of us spending only a couple of minutes on the dance floor, and then we just found a space far in the corner and we just talked,” Turner remembered. “We talked for hours, and hours, and hours. And I was, like, not bored. It wasn’t contrived. It wasn’t small talk – it was just so easy. And soon we were, like, inseparable. I went on tour with him.”
Turner and Jonas were engaged a year later and married in two different ceremonies last year. Rumours are swirling that the couple is expecting a baby.
“He’s so handsome, talented, funny, charismatic,” Turner gushed. "I’m really lucky to be with him and have someone like him want to be around me and spend time with me.”
