Jodie Turner-Smith's First Divorce Comments Double As Pretty Decent Relationship Advice

Jodie Turner-Smith was measured and mindful while addressing her divorce from Joshua Jackson in an interview with the U.K.’s Sunday Times Style published this week.

In what were her first comments on the split since it became public last fall, the British actor said, “Sometimes things we really want to work just don’t end up working. And that’s OK.”

“The most important thing is that you choose what’s healthiest for you and your family and definitely your children,” continued Turner-Smith, who shares three-year-old daughter Juno Rose with her now ex.

“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 asked herself.

“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,” the star went on. “And they don’t just affect us, they affect everybody around us.”

The “White Noise” actor seemed at peace with her and Jackson’s end, telling the Sunday Times, “I don’t think it’s a failure. We obviously had such a beautiful moment together. And now it’s time for a new moment for both of us. And how exciting!”

Turner-Smith and Jackson wed in 2019 after meeting at a Usher’s 40th birthday party one year prior.

Gushing about her other half to People in 2021, she said, “I think it’s really beautiful to be with someone who is so supportive and so loving.”
