Chatting with Meyers on August 14, Turner recalled what happened at the eventâs after party.
âWe were going to have a great night⊠and I canât name names âcause Iâll get in trouble,â she told her host.
âBut I had brought my best friend from school days and she saw an actor she absolutely loved and asked if I could just say âhiâ. And that was it.â Or at least that is what she thought at the time.

Later that night, she saw a woman staring and recognized her as a star she admired. Turner moved over to pay her a compliment, but did not get that far.
Turner was confronted by a woman who asked her to stop flirting with her man
âSo I dance on over and she goes, âCan you stop f****** flirting with my fiancĂ©?,ââ Turner continued.
âAnd I was like, âWhoâs your fiancĂ©e?ââ The woman then pointed in the direction of the man she had just waved atâa man who Turner claims she did not know.

According to Turner, her little greeting had a life-changing effect on the unnamed couple that same night.
â[It] turns out, they broke their engagement off that night because of my [wave].â
âI didnât realize I held this power,â she joked.

The two started dating the year after the fateful Comic-Con fallout. They began chatting on Instagram, got engaged in 2019, married first in Las Vegas, then celebrated their nuptials again in a decadent affair in France later the same year, perPeople.
In 2023, however, the relationship took the route that so many Hollywood marriages do when Jonas filed for divorce, citing âthe marriage between the parties is irretrievably brokenâ as the reason.
Jonas and Turner share two girlsâWilla, 5, and Delphine, 3âwho were recently dragged into the spotlight after she posted images of herself at an Oasis concert.
A fight broke out in the thread of her recent photo dump over a bout of âmom shamingâ
âBucket hats & beersâŠ. Thatâll do me. Thank you,â she captioned the slideshow.
The comment section lit up, with one mother writing: âHaving kids and still being me â thatâs the dream.â
This comment drew 45 reactions fraught with infighting and accusations of misogyny and racism in the mix.
âDo you have children? Do you know they have a dad? Do you know a woman needs also time for herself even if she has kids? Stop being so full of hate towards women who can enjoy their lives!â argued one person in Turnerâs defense.

âLmfao I think she has forgotten that she has two kids,â came another criticism.
Turner would not let it pass.
Turner slammed her critics, saying they can not think for themselves
âAh Iâm so sorry sometimes I forget some people canât think for themselves,â she parried.
âSo⊠Get this⊠Thereâs this crazy thing called shared custody. Maybe, just maybe, they were with their dad that day.â

âHaving an incredible mom, Sophie, for those girls is like a dream come true,â he said.
