Fans have raised some concerns following coverage of Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner's split.
The news broke this week that the singer had filed for divorce, with the pair having reportedly grown apart over recent months.
The couple have two children together, and are said to be applying for shared custody.
However, while fans of the pair have been shocked by news of the breakup, rumours have spread through the media that appear to highlight issues between Jonas and Turner precipitating their split.

Reports in Page Six claimed Jonas had tried his best to 'salvage' the marriage, but Turner's behaviour meant he was unable to do so.
A source claiming to be close to the couple told the outlet: "Divorce was a last resort for Joe.
"He never wanted to break up his family, but he had to take what he felt was the best course of action for his girl.
"An unhappy home isn't a home, and the truth is that he and Sophie were going through it this year.
"There's a lot of noise out there, but it wasn't a straw-that-broke-the-camel's-back situation like it's being reported.
"It just kept building, and Joe finally reached a point where he felt that he had exhausted all options to salvage the marriage."
Another 'source' also told TMZ: "She likes to party; he likes to stay at home. They have very different lifestyles."
Fans of the Game of Thrones actor have since questioned the claims, though.
Taking to social media, some suggested that it seems pretty out of character for the 27-year-old to suddenly become a huge extrovert.
Now, obviously, no one knows what goes on in any relationship, but Turner has previously opened up about her anxiety issues and preferring to stay at home, while her husband likes to go out on the town.
During an interview with Conan O'Brien during the pandemic, Turner opened up about life during lockdown, claiming she enjoyed it.
She told the host: "I'm an introvert. I'm a homebody. If I could stay at home all day I would." Jonas, however, is the complete opposite.
"Everything seems to be working out in my favor here because Joe's a real social butterfly, so I struggle to lock him down and have him just spend time with me.
"It's like prison for him, but it's great for me."
She's also spoken about her struggles with her mental health, and how she deals with bouts of depression and anxiety.
Discussing her therapy sessions, she said: "I still have to do it every week.
“Occasionally, I go on a retreat to check myself, and I still have days when I feel depressed or anxious. It’s manageable now — I have the tools."
In light of the claims made by 'sources' about Jonas' decision to leave Turner, these comments have since been shared widely on social media.
Writing on Twitter, one person said: "HELLOOOO Joe Jonas’ team is not the 'source' putting out those sus headlines about Sophie. The media wants to sell you a story and yall are foolishly buying the hell out of it in a very embarrassing and disrespectful way."
While another added: "Sophie Turner has been speaking for years about her anxiety and how she likes to stay home and Joe Jonas likes to go and party...so the reason he's divorcing her is because SHE likes to party? This makes no sense."
UNILAD has reached out to representatives for Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner for comment.
