“Love takes different shapes and forms and I was rediscovering what that was,” he claimed. But the person he was seeing at the time eased his worries by simply saying, “Well, it’s only love.”

The “Game of Thrones” alum, 29, had previously launched a lawsuit against the DNCE singer, accusing him of withholding their daughters’ passports and preventing them from returning to England, her home country.

In a statement from his rep, the Jonas Brothers band member denied his ex’s allegations, calling the lawsuit a “harsh legal position” that went against the “amicable co-parenting setup” he believed they were working toward.

Turner eventually dropped the filing after they reached a co-parenting agreement.
