Joshua Jackson and his ex-wife Jodie Turner-Smith will always be in each other’s lives in some capacity because they share a daughter who was born in 2020. Despite the couple’s relationship not working out and Jackson now dating someone new, Turner-Smith’s statement about his relationship is refreshingly positive and incredibly mature.
Jackson and Lupita Nyong’o are reported to be dating, and while many fans are shipping this couple, one of their most vocal supporters is Turner-Smith, who shared her thoughts in a recent interview with The Cut. Discussing their relationship, she said, “Good for them. We need happiness in order to peacefully co-parent. I’m trying to get us to the Gwyneth [Paltrow] and Chris Martin level. I truly hope they’re happy and that it benefits us as a family.”
Some fans roll their eyes at Paltrow, and she has at times been accused of being out-of-touch, but no one can knock her approach to co-parenting. She and Martin have worked hard to create a positive and healthy environment for their kids.
In the same interview, Turner-Smith discussed dating as a celebrity. “When you’re in the public eye, a part of you belongs to the public. It stops being yours and becomes theirs too,” she said. “I didn’t have an accurate scope of understanding what it would mean to share my relationship with the public. It’s something I will never do again. Ever. That is one major lesson that I took away from this, which is just that people don’t need to know everything.”
Joshua Jackson And Lupita Nyong’o’s Relationship
What is even more impressive about Turner-Smith and Jackson’s ability to be so mature is that their split is still fresh. They announced their decision to divorce in October 2023 after four years of marriage. Then, in December 2023, the actor was already linked to Nyong’o.
In December 2023, an Us Weekly source discussed the relationship between Joshua Jackson and Lupita Nyong’o. “Joshua and Lupita have been dating for a very short while now. They’re focusing on keeping their relationship under the radar as much as possible,” they said at the time. The source also revealed that their relationship was “very normal.”
