In recent developments, a sad chapter in the lives of model and actor couple Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith has been unveiled. The revelation not only involves the end of their marital journey but also the name of their precious 3-year-old daughter.
That’s right: Turner-Smith recently filed for divorce from Jackson, her husband of five years. The grounds cited for this decision were “irreconcilable differences,” according to documents obtained by PEOPLE. Among the requests made in the filing, Turner-Smith expressed her desire for joint custody of their beloved daughter.
While the divorce filing brings a cloud of sadness, thanks to court documents, it also sheds light on a previously undisclosed detail thank—the name the couple’s 3-year-old daughter. Their little one is named Juno Rose Diana Jackson, a name that carries both elegance and significance.
In addition to requesting joint custody, Turner-Smith also filed to terminate the court’s ability to award spousal support to either party. This legal decision underscores the couple’s determination to navigate their separation on their own terms.
Jackson and Turner-Smith didn’t always have such differences. Their love story began in 2018 when they crossed paths at Usher’s birthday party. The Dawson’s Creek actor and the British actress-model formed a connection that would eventually lead them down the path of holy matrimony.
In August 2019, rumors of an impending wedding surfaced as the two were spotted obtaining a marriage license in Beverly Hills. PEOPLE later confirmed that they had indeed tied the knot on August 18, 2019.
On International Women’s Day in 2020, Turner-Smith shared the heartwarming news on her Instagram story that she and Jackson were preparing to welcome a baby girl into their lives. She posted a video of her pregnant belly, capturing the precious moments of her daughter’s movements inside.
Their happiness reached its peak on April 21, 2020, when it was confirmed that Jackson and Turner-Smith had welcomed their baby girl. Although the couple remained private about most of the birth details, such as the baby’s name, their representative shared the joyful news with PEOPLE, stating, “Both mother and baby are happy and healthy.”
One month after their daughter’s birth, Joshua Jackson took to Instagram to express his gratitude and admiration for his wife on Mother’s Day. He thanked Jodie Turner-Smith for “making me a father” and lauded her dedication as a new mother. The heartfelt post featured a touching photo of Turner-Smith cradling their daughter.
While the news of their divorce may bring a sense of sorrow, it’s essential to remember the love and happiness that these two have shared during their journey together as husband and wife, and then as parents. Little Juno remains a beautiful testament to their time as a family.To hear more about the impending divorce, watch the video below.
