A few weeks after Jonas filed for divorce, Turner filed legal documents claiming the boy band member was "unlawfully keeping their children in New York City" and stated she wanted her daughters to be "returned" to her in England.

At the time, Turner was working on a project in her native England – and caught flack for not having her young daughters with her. Insiders reportedly claimed she agreed "with some hesitation" to allow her daughters to remain with their father in the U.S. due to her "very intense" filming schedule.

During an interview with Harper's Bazaar, Turner addressed her divorce and backlash she received for remaining in the U.K. without her daughters.

Since her initial split from Jonas, the actress has remained in London, where she's been staying with a friend to avoid being home alone while her daughter remain with the singer in the U.S.

She admitted the situation has been "absolute agony" as she opened up on how motherhood "changed me so much in every way".

Turner said: "Before I had kids, I was very depressed and anxious, and I would isolate [myself] a lot. Now, I think I live my life for them."

As for the critics who "mom-shamed" her for being in England away from her kids, the actress pushed back and shared it was important for her to set an example for her young daughters.
