Joshua Jackson<\/b><\/a> and Jodie Turner-Smith<\/b><\/a> were one of the most low-key and sweetest couple<\/a>s in Hollywood, but their marriage came to an abrupt end four years after exchanging vows. Naturally, fans are curious why the pair called it quits<\/a>. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n About two months after their split, Joshua appeared to have struck up a new relationship with\u00a0Lupita Nyong\u2019o\u00a0<\/strong>in December 2023. He was seen smooching<\/a> with the\u00a0Black Panther\u00a0<\/em>actress during an outing in Joshua Tree Park in December 2023. A few months later, Jodie broke her silence<\/a> on her split from Joshua.<\/p>\n Keep reading to find out the reason behind Joshua and Jodie\u2019s separation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In her October 2, 2023, filing, Jodie cited the reason behind their separation as \u201cirreconcilable differences.\u201d The Queen & Slim<\/i> actress also noted that her and the Fatal Attraction<\/i> star\u2019s date of separation was September 13. However, one month later, Joshua countered Jodie\u2019s filing by claiming that their date of separation was September 30, per Us Weekly.<\/em><\/a> Neither of them has publicly commented on their split.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Shortly after the news broke of their split, Entertainment Tonight<\/i><\/a> reported that the former couple were \u201chaving issues lately.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThey celebrated Jodie\u2019s birthday on September 9 at The Flower Shop in NYC but arrived separately and left separately,\u201d a source told the outlet. \u201cIt was a big party, and they were distant throughout the night and barely around each other. Jodie spent [the] majority of the evening downstairs.\u201d<\/p>\n Days after Jodie filed for divorce, an insider told\u00a0PEOPLE<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>that the marriage got \u201cunhealthy,\u201d but they didn\u2019t divulge many other details. \u201cShe decided that she is done,\u201d they said. \u201cThey are on very different paths in life.\u201d<\/p>\n The source continued and explained that the pair would still do what\u2019s best for their daughter. \u201cIt turned into an unhealthy marriage that made her unhappy. They will co-parent\u00a0their daughter. They want her to continue to thrive,\u201d they told the outlet.<\/p>\n Us Weekly<\/em><\/a> then reported that it was Jodie who \u201cripped off the Band-Aid\u201d on their marriage because it \u201cwasn\u2019t working for her.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cShe refused to settle for something that didn\u2019t feel right,\u201d the source told the publication. Jodie seemingly nodded to this notion during her February 2024 interview with The Times<\/em><\/a>, in which she said, \u201cSometimes, things we really want to work just don\u2019t end up working.\u201d<\/p>\n One week later, Jodie shared a discussion by the Black Podcast Gems to social media about a mother\u2019s mental health and how it relates to raising a child. In the video, one of the podcast hosts pointed out, \u201cAnd what [a mother] will teach you about being in relationships with other people, whether you can trust them, whether you can trust yourself [and] whether you can actually be committed and connected to somebody. And know that they will reciprocate that to you in a healthy way.\u201d<\/p>\n Joshua and Jodie first met at a charity event in 2018 and quickly fell in love. The following year, they got engaged and tied the knot in December 2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n During an interview with The Times<\/i><\/a> in April of this year, the Dawson\u2019s Creek <\/i>alum revealed that his now-estranged wife was the one who proposed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know if she planned it or if it was a spur-of-the-moment thing, but out popped a proposal I was not expecting, and the organic and instinctive answer was \u2018yes,\u2019\u201d he told the publication. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Joshua also noted that he was initially hesitant to consider marriage and children but pointed out that Jodie changed his mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m old enough to be able to do this,\u201d he said. \u201cPartially, it\u2019s about finding somebody in the right moment of life. \u2026 If we had met five years earlier, we probably would have had a torrid affair, but all the rest of this stuff, I was just not ready. I didn\u2019t think I ever wanted to get married.\u201d<\/p>\nWhy Are Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith Getting a Divorce?<\/h2>\n
