In a recent photo carousel, the Jonas Brothers singer slipped in a shot of his black studded loafer beside an unidentified woman\u2019s stiletto-clad foot.

Insiders say the pair have gotten more serious \u2014 Gabriela has even met Jonas\u2019 friends, family, and his two young daughters with Turner. According to a source from <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/joe-jonas-dating-model-tatiana-gabriela-source-exclusive-11880980\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">People<\/a>, Jonas \u201ctrusts her around his kids,\u201d noting that this new relationship \u201cseems different\u201d from his brief post-divorce dating ventures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAnd that\u2019s the context people keep pretending isn\u2019t there: even though they are still <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/entertainment\/articles\/1234772665\/joe-jonas-sophie-turner-post-divorce-relationship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">navigating their relationship post-divorce, <\/a>Jonas and Turner share two kids. His comment section gets to play detective over a stiletto, while hers turns into a custody FAQ any time she posts a life \u2014 even though, by mid-2025, sources described <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/parenting\/articles\/1234902098\/joe-jonas-sophie-turner-long-distance-co-parenting-bond\/\">their co-parenting as \u201cmutually respectful,\u201d <\/a>and Jonas has called it \u201ca beautiful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/tags\/co-parenting\/\" id=\"auto-tag_co-parenting\" data-tag=\"co-parenting\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">co-parenting<\/a> relationship,\u201d describing Turner as an \u201cincredible mom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tLast year, Turner posted photos from an Oasis concert with friends and got a snarky comment accusing her of having <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/parenting\/articles\/1234911096\/sophie-turner-slams-critics-forgot-kids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">\u201cforgotten\u201d her two kids<\/a>. She didn\u2019t let it slide: \u201cSo\u2026 get this\u2026 There\u2019s this crazy thing called shared custody. Maybe, just maybe, they were with their dad that day,\u201d she replied \u2014 a response that quickly made the rounds. Others pointed out the obvious double standard: no one would say the same to Joe Jonas for going out without his children.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAnd it wasn\u2019t a one-off. In May 2024, Turner addressed the tabloid narrative around their split that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/entertainment\/articles\/3024793\/sophie-turner-addresses-joe-jonas-divorce-partying-rumors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">painted her as a \u201cpartier\u201d<\/a> and questioned her motherhood \u2014 something she said \u201churt,\u201d especially while she was filming in the U.K. and separated from her daughters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe part that lands isn\u2019t Jonas\u2019 possible soft launch \u2014 celebrities do that every day. It\u2019s the fact that Turner is still the one who has to teach Co-Parenting 101 to strangers in her comments, as if shared custody is a loophole she\u2019s exploiting instead of a basic arrangement between two working parents. Jonas can post a shoe and let people squeal; Turner posts a night out and has to defend the premise that her kids have a dad. That imbalance is unfortunately familiar to a lot of millennial moms who are also in the business of co-parenting with an ex \u2014 not because their ex is famous, but because the internet still treats motherhood like a full-time job without any breaks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tMore on Celebrities &amp; Co-Parenting:<\/p>\n<p>Before you go, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/entertainment\/slideshow\/2147408\/celebrity-coparenting-divorce-struggles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">here<\/a> to see all the celebrities who have opened up about the struggles of co-parenting.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/entertainment\/slideshow\/2147408\/celebrity-coparenting-divorce-struggles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2347388 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/celebrity-coparenting-struggles.jpg\" alt=\"Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt\" width=\"693\" height=\"390\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Joe Jonas might be quietly confirming a new romance on Instagram \u2014 even as his ex, Sophie Turner,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":240709,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,71263,98255,141633,156,16261,141634,111,139,69,443],"class_list":{"0":"post-240708","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-celebrity-parents","10":"tag-co-parenting","11":"tag-dating-after-divorce","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-joe-jonas","14":"tag-mom-shaming","15":"tag-new-zealand","16":"tag-newzealand","17":"tag-nz","18":"tag-sophie-turner"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240708","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=240708"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240708\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/240709"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=240708"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=240708"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=240708"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
