There have been so many high-profile Hollywood splits in 2023 that it’s hard to keep up right now. From Sofía Vergara and Joe Manganiello to Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner, the divorce lawyers in Los Angeles are working overtime. While some couples may flirt with a reconciliation, Jodie Turner-Smith‘s decision to end her marriage to Joshua Jackson seems to be a finite one after her recent move.
After filing for divorce on Oct. 2, Turner-Smith reportedly left their West Coast home to camp out in a hotel while she and her ex decide what is best for their three-year-old daughter Juno. Their four-year marriage was the subject of quite a few internet rumors after their Instagram unfollows last year, but they always seemed to find a way back to each other — but this time was different. “She refused to settle for something that didn’t feel right,” a source toldUs Weekly. “[It] wasn’t working for her, so she ripped off the Band-Aid.”
While Turner-Smith was obviously having second thoughts about her marriage to the Dawson’s Creekstar, Jackson was reportedly blindsided by her decision. “Joshua was clearly caught off guard by Jodie’s decision to divorce,” a second source revealed. “They had their issues, as many couples do — especially two busy actors who are also juggling a child. Joshua obviously didn’t realize it was this bad, that Jodie was this unhappy.”
The move even “baffled” their inner circle of friends, who are “trying to understand how this came about.” They added, “They became glued to each other after the first night they met, and then parenthood soon followed. It was a huge lifestyle change, especially for a free spirit like Jodie. But they seemed so devoted to each other, so everyone is shaking their heads.” For now, Turner-Smith is keeping her true feelings private, only allowing the “irreconcilable differences” on the divorce documents speak for themselves.
