Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith reach custody agreement amid shock divorce

Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith have agreed to joint custody of their three-year-old daughter, Juno Rose Diana.

In court documents seen by The Blast, the Canadian actor, 45, has finally responded to Turner-Smith’s petition and agreed that “irreconcilable differences” were the reason for the split.

The legal docs, filed by the Dawson’s Creek alum, also revealed that he and Turner-Smith, 37, will split legal and physical custody of their daughter.

According to The Blast, Jackson only disagreed with the White Noise star on one issue – the date of their separation.

The British model-turned-actress listed the date as September 13, 2023 while he insisted it was later, September 30, 2023.

Last month, it was revealed that Turner-Smith and Jackson were parting ways after almost four years of marriage.

The couple met in 2018 through mutual friends and have spoken previously about how their relationship was casual to begin with.But the couple tied the knot in December 2019 after the actress proposed during a New Year’s Eve holiday in Nicaragua, with Jackson saying in the past he “instinctively” said yes.

Celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser – who has previously worked with Kim Kardashian and Britney Spears – is said to be representing Smith in the divorce.

Speculation that the pair’s relationship has been on the rocks began in September 2022 when they stopped following each other on social media.

But shortly afterwards, Jackson gushed about his wife in an interview with E! News.

He said: “She is undeniably one of the most beautiful women on the planet. And she always smashes it when she’s on the red carpet. That is truly a wonder to behold.

“But I will tell you, that there is nothing like waking up in the morning, opening my eyes and seeing her face in the morning.”

Turner-Smith spoke in 2021 about how their relationship started out casually after meeting at a party.

She said on Late Night with Seth Meyers: “When I first met my husband, we had a one-night stand. We’re in a two, three-year one-night stand now.”
