Despite the frequency of celebrity divorces in Hollywood, the news that Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith are divorcing came as quite a shock.
This week, the Queen & Slim actress, 37, filed for divorce from the Fatal Attraction actor, 45, citing “irreconcilable differences,” as reported by People. The former couple, who share a 3-year-old daughter named Juno, is remaining silent about their separation to the media. However, there has been intense speculation about what transpired between the two celebrities, who were notorious for sharing social media posts about each other. Here is all the information you need about their relationship.
How did Joshua Jackson become acquainted with Jodie Turner-Smith?
Jackson became famous for his portrayal of Pacey Witter in the popular WB adolescent drama Dawson’s Creek. The Queen & Slim star was a longstanding admirer of Turner-Smith, despite not having met him until Usher’s 40th birthday party in 2018.
During an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers in 2021, Turner-Smith revealed that despite the fact that they had never met prior to that evening, she had had a crush on Jackson since his Dawson’s Creek days. The couple quickly fell head over heals for each other.
“When I first met my husband, we had a one-night stand,” the actress remarked to Meyers. “We’re in a two, three-year one-night stand now.”
In 2019, the couple made their relationship official on Instagram. Turner-Smith captioned a photo of the pair gazing into each other’s eyes as they sat outside, “Two people who are only mildly attracted to each other.”
