In the wake of his split from his wife Sophie Turner, Joe Jonas has tweaked the lyrics of the romantic ballad he wrote for her.
Hesitate, in which he tells his lover: ‘Don’t you ever say goodbye,’ appeared on the Jonas Brothers album Happiness Begins in 2019, the year Joe married Sophie.
He filed for divorce this Tuesday, describing the marriage as ‘irretrievably broken’ and revealing he and Sophie plan to share custody of the children.
Footage from a Jonas Brothers concert in Phoenix the following night has surfaced on X, revealing the change he has made to Hesitate.
The original lyric went: ‘Don’t be scared because I’m on your side,’ but onstage this Wednesday Joe sang: ‘Don’t be scared because I’m on her side.’

TMZ sources claim that those who were around the couple had known that there was a strain in the relationship prior to Joe’s shock divorce filing this week.
The estranged pair share a three-year-old daughter called Willa and a one-year-old daughter whose name they have kept private, but who is referred to in the court documents as ‘DJ.’
The split has turned nasty with ‘insider’ comments from people ‘close to the couple’ causing a huge sexism row.
It’s been claimed that the differences in their alleged lifestyles drove a wedge, with one dishing: ‘She likes to party and he likes to stay at home.’
Other insiders who claim to have ‘direct knowledge’ of the situation have briefed US gossip sites, including TMZ, that Joe is watching their full-time while on tour – while Sophie films for new series Joan in the UK.
But, as several briefings emerge in America, painting Joe as a devoted father and Sophie as a party animal, a series of columns defending the actress – and questioning why Joe is being praised for looking after his own children – have appeared.

Writing for Vogue, Raven Smith said: ‘Team Jonas is throwing a careless-mother narrative at proceedings and seeing if it sticks, sowing seeds of his wife being a less-than-gold-star parent. Nobody is saying out loud she’s subpar; it’s just heavily, heavily insinuated that her liking to go out clashes with his homebody status. It’s very read between the lines, please, she is not mothering at an acceptable standard.’
‘The misogyny here is so ridiculously stark. All these motherly expectations serve only to keep women repressed,’.
Meanwhile, Rebecca Reid of the i, said that Sophie is being slammed as ‘society doesn’t like it when women – especially mums – have fun’.
‘When we have babies we’re supposed to have our ambition, sexuality, and desire to dance while listening to Flo Rida incinerated along with our placenta.
‘So you can see how it would make sense for the PR team handling this divorce to get around a table and settle on “goes out too much, doesn’t spend enough time with her family” as the perfect way to vilify Turner’,
Reid’s sentiment was echoed by dozens of columnists, including Cassandra Green at Marie Claire, who lamented: ‘women are allowed to party, cry, work and also be great mums’.
‘There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a mum that likes to socialise. Enjoying time around other people, or being an extrovert, is not a crime,’ she wrote.
‘Conflating Joe’s custody of the children with the suggestion that Turner is a “party girl” seems a little pointed.
Newspapers and magazines in the UK and US have complained about the narrative around Sophie Turner
‘Get married and have children young? You’re throwing your life away. Let your partner take care of the children? You’re not a dedicated mother. Like to party? God forbid, that’s not the mark of a ‘good woman’. Talk openly about your mental health? Well, you’re crazy. Get divorced? You made it happen.

Stephanie McNeal at Glamour Magazine, added: ‘The implication that Turner is somehow doing something wrong by having a life that occasionally takes her away from her children really resonated with many women, who said they understood what it felt like to be judged.’
Elsewhere, Kat Romero said in Metro that her husband gets praised for raising their children, while she gets slammed.
‘In 2023, we are still heaping praise onto fathers for simply being fathers. It’s a slap in the face for feminism and a backhand across the engorged tit of motherhood’.
She added a dad ‘has to do the bare minimum’ to be considered great – while a mother ‘only needs to make a single slip-up to feel the wrath of judgment from society’.
‘I can’t tell you the amount of times people were shocked by the fact my partner woke up in the night for bottle feeds, changed constant nappies and gave me hours to myself to nap, go for a walk or see my friends’.
Meanwhile, UK broadsheets questions why we should be pitying Joe Jonas – and asked if the split may be down to difference in British and American culture.
Lucy Denyer of the Telegraph questioned if women felt ‘secret schadenfreude’ and as ‘smugness’ that ‘finally someone male understands what many of us women have been putting up with for years?”
‘I think the biggest problem of all here is that he’s an American and she’s a Brit, and there are your irreconcilable differences right there. Squeaky clean Joe grew up the son of a Pentecostal minister, wearing a purity ring as a symbol of his desire to wait until marriage to have sex (spoiler: he didn’t wait).
‘Turner (who has called the purity ring “laughably, toe-curlingly lame”) grew up in the Warwickshire countryside with two older brothers and a load of pigs. He wants to stay in Florida, she’s desperate to move back to England, missing “the people, the attitude, everything” (that “everything” is doing a lot of work there).
Court documents obtained by DailyMail.com reveal that Joe stated his marriage to Sophie is ‘irretrievably broken’ – and lay out the former couple’s plans to share custody of their three-year-old daughter Willa and their one-year-old daughter, whose name they have not revealed
‘His favourite drink is sangria, and he’s lent his face and name to a carbonated, canned, “low cal” version with 80 per cent less sugar. She had her hen do in Benidorm, clearly likes the odd cocktail and is on record as having wished she “could have gone out and drunk a lot and thrown up in the middle of a club without it being photographed”, rather than spending her twenties as a wife and mother.
Kate Maxwell at the Times, echoed the sentiments, saying that Americans have a ‘restrained attitude to alcohol’ and a ‘fun ban’.
‘Perhaps what Turner needs isn’t a new lifestyle but a new role. My advice to Jonas? Don’t blame Britain’s booze culture — join the writers’ strike picket line instead.’
