Joe Jonas just got tattoos of his daughters’ birthdays following custody battle

Joe Jonas has fulfilled one of the first criteria of being a divorced dad, which is having tattoos in honour of his two daughters’ birthdays. He revealed his newest tattoos at a Jonas Brothers concert in Toronto on Tuesday.

The birth dates of his daughters, Willa and Delphine feature on his chest with the dates ‘07.05.22 x 07.22.20.’ And Joe also seemed to have got some other new tattoos centred around his children including a bicep tattoo featuring a bird. Fans are presuming that this is likely referencing the Jonas Brothers song Little Bird which is a tribute to the brothers’ collective five daughters, as well as a stick-figure illustration on his arm, presumably designed by his elder daughter.

And whilst some fans thought it was “sweet” others thought that it was a well-calculated PR move. One said “Oh yes, come time for the permanent custody agreement, the judge will see this and his other stunts and think ‘Yes! This is a father,’ and grant him full custody. Is that what he’s expecting?”

Joe Jonas is currently in a custody battle with his ex-wife Sophie Turner but will regain custody of his daughters starting next Wednesday until mid-December as per his temporary custody schedule. Sophie Turner was seen kissing aristocrat Perigrine Pearson earlier this month, and according to a source Joe thinks it’s “too soon for her to be gallivanting and kissing whomever in public.”

The source said in full: “What is important for Joe is the well-being of his kids and finishing the tour he is on with his brothers. He would be happy to find love again and do all of that, but that is not even close to what is on the top of his mind as he wants to get on with the divorce and get on with his life.

“And if Sophie wants to gallivant and kiss whomever in public, he doesn’t really want to play those games.”

The source added that “Joe feels that having his priorities in check and focusing on what is now and what is important is the way to move forward, and that is his obligation to his family and work. Granted it feels a little too soon, he has no control over what she does and can only try to figure out the best co-parenting agenda for them both.

“If she is doing this to hurt him, she is not going to hurt him any more than she already has, he will get through it with his chin up.”
