Joe Jonas recently shared his thoughts on what it’s like to raise daughters, a significant contrast to his own childhood with only brothers. Appearing on the Good Hang podcast alongside his brothers Kevin and Nick Jonas, Joe told host Amy Poehler that raising daughters with his ex-wife Sophie Turner is a vastly different experience from his upbringing.
“Boys are so different than girls,” Joe said. “I’ll watch my kids on the playground and it’s, like, delicate. And then this kid will be like, ‘Ahh!’ And dive off the top of the slide. And you’re just like, ‘That is a boy,’” he added.
He also spoke about growing up in a household with four boys, including Nick, Kevin, and their youngest brother, Frankie. Reflecting on his mother, Joe said, “Four boys in one home. She was the boss, you know.” He continued, “Growing up, we needed a loud voice like her to be able to control us and also make sure that we weren’t, like, pieces of s—. I think that was important.”
Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas, who married in 2019, divorced after four years. They now co-parent their two daughters, Willa, 4, and Delphine, 2.
