Until now, the second child of Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner was only referred to by the initial D, but now, fourteen months after the birth and a few weeks after the announcement of their divorce, light is shed on this great mystery, thanks to the mediation of Page Six, which dug up legal documents about child custody.
And her name, therefore, is Delphine – from the Greek word "dolphin".
It's a name so rare in the English language that a 2015 most common name list (yes, there is such a thing) had it at position 2,893. At the same time, a 2021 survey showed that just 41 babies per one million are named Delphine. (Though in recent years, as we parents discover and sometimes invent more imaginative names, it may have become more popular.)
In a legal dispute, the couple announced their children would temporarily stay in New York. The 27-year-old actress asked the 34-year-old musician for their two daughters to return to Britain. However, as it was decided for the welfare of the children, according to legal documents, they are not leaving the US, at least for now.
The second-eldest Jonas brother, 34, and the “Game of Thrones” alum, 27, have also kept details private about their 3-year-old daughter Willa.
Willa was born in July 2020, while Delphine arrived in Miami two years later, in July 2022.
Jonas and Turner have been notoriously private since they started dating in 2016. They announced their engagement in 2017 but didn’t make their red carpet-debut as a couple until 2018.
They married in a surprise Las Vegas ceremony in May 2019 and had a second, more formal bash in France later that summer.
Earlier this month, Jonas filed for divorce from Turner after four years of marriage.
In the filing, he stated that the relationship was “irretrievably broken.”
Turner, in turn, filed a lawsuit against Jonas, accusing him of refusing to hand over their daughters’ passports to let the girls return to their “forever home” in England.
This week, an interim consent order filed in Manhattan federal court has the girls staying in NYC for now.
