Jodie Turner-Smith, known for her captivating performances in “Queen & Slim” and other notable films, has finally broken her silence regarding her divorce from actor Joshua Jackson. The actress, who filed for divorce from the “Dawson’s Creek” alum after four years of marriage, recently shared her perspective on their split and moving forward in an interview with the Sunday Times.
In the candid interview published on Feb. 25, Turner-Smith expressed a positive outlook despite the challenges of ending her marriage. “Sometimes things we really want to work just don’t end up working,” she shared. “And that’s OK. The most important thing is that you choose what’s healthiest for you and your family and definitely your children.”
The 37-year-old actress emphasized the importance of prioritizing one’s well-being and authenticity in relationships. “There are so many different moments in our life where we look at ourselves and say, ‘Who am I and am I being true to that?'” she said. “If the answer is no, then you have to make a move because I believe that there are visible scars from staying in places that are not good for us. And they don’t just affect us, they affect everybody around us.”
Turner-Smith also touched on co-parenting with Jackson and ensuring a healthy environment for their daughter. In November, the former couple reached a custody agreement, signifying a commitment to prioritize their child’s well-being amid the divorce proceedings.
Reflecting briefly on her relationship with Jackson, which began in 2018, Turner-Smith acknowledged the importance of personal growth and moving forward after a breakup. While Jackson has not publicly addressed their split, Turner-Smith’s openness about her experience provides insight into her journey of self-discovery and resilience.
As Turner-Smith navigates life post-divorce, she continues to focus on her career and personal growth. Her openness about the challenges of divorce and her commitment to prioritizing her well-being serve as a reminder of the importance of self-care and authenticity in relationships, even in the face of adversity.
