Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner are trying to keep things "positive" amid news of their impending divorce.
"People are trying to be negative towards both of them but they are trying to keep things as positive as possible knowing there's always a lot of tension in a divorce," a source close to the pair told PEOPLE. "They're two incredibly scrutinized people. This is incredibly stressful for them, but everything between them has been very collaborative."
The source also told PEOPLE that the sale of the former couple's home in Miami was "coordinated" by the couple together and "they made a profit on it."
"It was something they both wanted to do. Everything has been very collaborative. The sale of the house wasn't in advance of a divorce specifically as sometimes people do, but it does make it easier," they added.
