Getty Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner attend the 2019 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
After the 2019 Billboard Music Awards last night, photos and videos began to circulate of a surprise Las Vegas wedding for Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner.
While the couple themselves have not confirmed the news, social media videos and photos shared by American DJ Diplo suggests that the wedding really did happen and was not a joke. Us Weekly reported that the wedding was planned, with Joe and Sophie applying for a marriage license in Nevada earlier that day. A source told People that the wedding was real.
Diplo’s live story video gives a handful of details about the couple’s big night: it was officiated by an Elvis impersonator, music stars such as Khalid were in attendance, and Dan and Shay sang their hit song “Speechless” while Sophie walked down the aisle. Both were dressed for the occasion, with Turner in a fitted white gown and Joe in a gray suit.
The fact that Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner left the BBMA’s and immediately got married by Elvis in Vegas and Diplo LIVE-streamed it and this is not at all a joke is legit the best thing I’ve seen in a really long time
TV host and actress Sinéad de Vries tweeted “The fact that Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner left the BBMA’s and immediately got married by Elvis in Vegas and Diplo LIVE-streamed it and this is not at all a joke is legit the best thing I’ve seen in a really long time.” The tweet quickly amassed 2.6 thousand likes. Fans of the couple went wild on Twitter once the news spread, and the couple quickly started trending on the social media platform.
The Jonas Brothers do have an album coming up next month, so it’s always possible that the event was recorded to obtain content for an upcoming music video – Sophie, along with Nick and Kevin’s wives Priyanka and Danielle, was featured in the music video for “Sucker.”
It is also entirely possible that this will not be the only celebration of marriage for Sophie and Joe. While Joe’s brothers were reported by Us Weekly to be in attendance, it is unlikely that their family and non-music industry friends made it and unclear if Sophie’s “J-Sisters” (Priyanka and Danielle) were there. Footage obtained of the wedding so far does not suggest that it was a stunt for the sake of a music video. Plus, if the wedding was staged for a Jonas Brothers music video, it would not have made sense for Dan and Shay to be singing one of their songs, or for Diplo to be DJ-ing the celebration afterward.
When the Jonas Brothers were on The Late Late Show in early March, Joe told James Corden that they were going to be having a summer wedding: “We’re going to get married this year. We’re going to have a summer wedding, which I’m looking forward to. It’s going to be a lot of fun.” Perhaps a second wedding, where they can celebrate with all of their friends and family, is still in their plans.
People reports that they were married at the Chapel L’AMOUR at A Little White Wedding Chapel. They are not the first celebrities to get married in Vegas at this location. ALittleWhiteWeddingChapel.com says that stars including Brittney Spears, Ricki Lake, Frank Sinatra and Mia Farrow, Judy Garland, and Bruce Willis & Demi Moore were all married there.
