Jodie Turner-Smith is navigating co-parenting with her ex Joshua Jackson with a focus on peace and positivity. In a candid interview with The Cut on June 14, the 37-year-old actress discussed their divorce and Jackson’s new relationship with Lupita Nyong’o, 41, expressing her hope for their happiness.
Turner-Smith and Jackson, 46, were married for over three years and share a daughter, Juno Rose Diana Jackson, 4. She filed for divorce in October 2023, and shortly afterward, Jackson and Nyong’o were spotted together in Joshua Tree, California.
Acknowledging their differing paths, Turner-Smith remarked, "Good for them," drawing a comparison to Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s amicable "conscious uncoupling." She expressed optimism that their happiness would positively influence their family dynamic and their efforts to co-parent peacefully.
Reflecting on their daughter Juno, Turner-Smith shared a touching moment where Juno expressed her desire to be a "warrior mother" because of her strength. Juno's name is inspired by the Roman goddess Juno Sospita, symbolizing strength and resilience that Turner-Smith finds inspiring.
In their custody arrangement finalized in November 2023, Turner-Smith and Jackson agreed to joint physical and legal custody without child support payments. Despite the challenges of divorce, Turner-Smith emphasized her commitment to ensuring Juno's well-being and fostering a harmonious co-parenting relationship.
Looking forward, Turner-Smith remains focused on maintaining grace, love, and empathy in her life, believing these qualities will be reciprocated. As for her personal life, the Queen & Slim star has not publicly been linked with anyone new since her separation from Jackson, focusing instead on her career and motherhood journey.
