The Jonas Brothers gave a poignant display of ‘emotional’ support for Joe Jonas during their first live concert following the Sophie Turner divorce news.
Watch them hug it out below:
After tying the knot in Las Vegas on 1 May 2019, Joe, 34, and Sophie, 27, went on to welcome their first child – a daughter called Willa – in 2020, followed by a second daughter last year.

However, it was announced earlier this week that Joe had filed for divorce after four years of marriage.
The court filing said the ‘marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken’, according to papers obtained by the Associated Press.
It also said the pair had a ‘shared parental responsibility’, adding that they have a prenuptial agreement that they hope the court will uphold.
Confirming the split, a joint statement issued yesterday (6 September) said: "After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage.
"There are many speculative narratives as to why but, truly this is a united decision and we sincerely hope that everyone can respect our wishes for privacy for us and our children."
Just hours later, Jonas’ band The Jonas Brothers then took to the stage for an evening concert in Phoenix, Arizona, as the group continued the US leg of their ‘Five Albums. One Night’ tour.
Fans watched on as the three siblings came together on stage and hugged it out – something they’ve been known to do in live shows before, but some people noted this one appeared to feel ‘extra emotional’ given the recent news.
One person commented: “I'm literally sobbing at this. Our boys, strongest together. That is genuine sibling love when you/your siblings are going through difficult things.”
Someone else said: “I love to see it!! You’re so strong Joe and to see your brothers have your back and support you means so much.”
A third wrote: “I love these men so much and to know that Joe has his brothers to have his back through all of this is so amazing.”
A fourth added: "Be still my heart. I love these men so much and to know that Joe has his brothers to have his back through all of this is so amazing."
