BOMBSHELL! Joe Jonas Dishes on Raising Daughters with Ex-Wife Sophie Turner: "Boys Are So Different Than Girls"

In a rare and juicy interview, 35-year-old singer Joe Jonas opened up about his life as a dad to two adorable daughters, Willa and Delphine, whom he shares with his ex-wife Sophie Turner. The former Disney heartthrob appeared on Amy Poehler's Good Hang podcast, where he got candid about parenting, co-parenting, and what it's like to be a new dad.

Joe, who recently reunited with Sophie to celebrate their eldest child's birthday, revealed that he's learned a thing or two about raising girls. "Boys are so different than girls," he said with a chuckle. "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.'"

Amy Poehler, who is also a mom to two teenage sons, couldn't help but chime in with her own humorously insightful take on parenthood. "Your frontal lobes close later," she quipped.

But Joe's conversation about his daughters wasn't the only juicy part of the interview. He also reminisced about his childhood, growing up as one of four brothers (Kevin, Nick, Frankie) under the loving guidance of their mom Denise. "Four boys in one home? She was the boss, you know," he said with admiration.

Joe credited his mom for teaching him and his brothers the importance of being nice guys to women. "Growing up we needed a loud voice like her to be able to control us and also make sure that we weren't pieces of s*," he confessed. "I think that was important."

The singer's comments about co-parenting with Sophie were particularly revealing, especially given their highly publicized divorce last year. "I have a beautiful co-parenting relationship that I'm really grateful for," Joe said. "Having an incredible mom, Sophie, for those girls is like a dream come true." He emphasized the importance of his daughters having great female role models in their lives, including Sophie and his own mom Denise.

As we all know, Joe and Sophie's divorce was not without its ups and downs. The couple was embroiled in a custody battle over their daughters, with Sophie filing a child abduction claim against her ex before later asking the judge to dismiss it. However, it seems that they've put their differences aside for the sake of their children.

In recent months, Joe and Sophie have been spotted together on multiple occasions, including a mini-reunion in Miami to celebrate Willa's fifth birthday. They were also seen having a stroll in NYC, where they appeared to be in good spirits.

But it's not all smooth sailing for the ex-couple. Sophie has been linked to Peregrine Pearson, and while the pair have sparked split speculation, they've since rekindled their romance and were spotted together at Glastonbury. As for Joe, he dated actress and singer Stormi Bree last year but they parted ways in June.
