Jodie Turner-Smith has shown a level-headed reaction to her ex-husband, Joshua Jackson’s romance with Lupita Nyong’o. In an interview with The Cut, Turner-Smith stated that she is happy for them and hopes that their happiness benefits them as a family. Turner-Smith filed for divorce from Jackson in October 2023 after four years of marriage, and they share a daughter who was born in April 2020. Nyong’o also revealed her split from ex-boyfriend Selema Masekela around the same time, and she and Jackson were confirmed to be an item two months later.
Nyong’o has expressed her decision to keep her romantic relationships private, highlighting the importance of love and focusing on that aspect of life. Turner-Smith shares a similar sentiment and regrets sharing her relationship with the public, vowing to never do it again. She acknowledges that putting her relationship in the public eye has consequences and that people don’t need to know every detail of her personal life.
At the time of their split, sources revealed that Jackson was caught off guard when Turner-Smith filed for divorce, as he was unaware of how unhappy she was. Friends were puzzled by the sudden development and were trying to understand the situation. Turner-Smith refused to settle for something that didn’t feel right to her, and she believes that choosing what is healthiest for her and her family, including their children, is the most important thing.
Despite the divorce, Turner-Smith does not consider her marriage a failure. She acknowledges that sometimes things don’t work out as planned, and the most important thing is to choose what is best for oneself and their family. She hopes to achieve a peaceful co-parenting relationship with Jackson and maintain a level of happiness for the benefit of their family. Turner-Smith aspires to reach a level of amicability similar to Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s post-divorce relationship.
The actress has learned important lessons from her experience with a public relationship and has decided to keep her personal life private moving forward. She emphasizes the need for happiness and peaceful co-parenting, highlighting the importance of maintaining a healthy environment for their daughter. Despite the challenges they faced as a couple, Turner-Smith remains focused on what is best for her family and children.
