Still swooning! Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith quickly fell head over heels for each other — and their love keeps getting stronger.
The Vancouver native and the British actress sparked rumors of a romance after they were “all over each other” at Usher‘s 40th birthday party in October 2018. A source told Us Weekly at the time that the pair looked “super smitten” with one another and “danced together the whole night.” One month later, they were spotted holding hands on a casual coffee date in Los Angeles.
Jackson’s whirlwind romance with the model began two years after he was left “heartbroken” by his split from Diane Kruger. The former couple dated for 10 years between 2006 and 2016, and an insider revealed to Us in March that the Dawson’s Creek alum “took it pretty hard” when the National Treasure star moved on with Norman Reedus.
Despite his devastating breakup, Jackson’s broken heart was healed by Turner-Smith. “[Jodie] is a really sweet person. It’s a good match,” the same source added.
The couple quickly took their relationship to the next level after they were first rumored to be dating. In August 2019, the Daily Mail spotted the actors leaving a California courthouse with what appeared to be a marriage license. Just three months later, the Call Your Father star sported a massive diamond ring on her left hand at the premiere of Queen & Slim in Los Angeles. Jackson accompanied her to the event, wearing a gold band on his finger.
Shortly after the pair fueled marriage rumors, Us confirmed in December 2019 that the pair had secretly tied the knot and were expecting their first child together. A source revealed at the time that the Mighty Ducks actor was “so supportive of Jodie and loves to cheer her on.”
The couple frequently documented their pregnancy journey on social media, teasing each other over their Instagram skills and throwing it back to Jackson’s days on Dawson’s Creek with a theme song sing-a-long. After the Affair alum revealed in March that his wife’s due date was rapidly approaching, fans eagerly awaited the exciting announcement that their little one had finally arrived.
One month later, Us confirmed that “both mother and baby are happy and healthy” after the birth of their daughter.

After Jackson revealed in July 2021 that Turner-Smith popped the question to him, he has since clarified his comments. “We were in Nicaragua on a beautiful moonlit night, it could not possibly have been more romantic,” he told Refinery29. “And yes, my wife did propose to me and yes, I did say yes, but what I didn't say in that interview was there was a caveat, which is that I'm still old school enough that I said, ‘This is a yes, but you have to give me the opportunity [to do it too].’ She has a biological father and a stepdad, who's the man who raised her. [I said], ‘You have to give me the opportunity to ask both of those men for your hand in marriage.’ And then, ‘I would like the opportunity to re-propose those to you and do it the old fashioned way down on bended knee.’” The Dr. Death star, who revealed the couple actually had two proposals, also shut down online haters who weren’t too pleased to see a woman bucking traditional gender roles. “And also for anybody who is freaked out by a woman claiming her own space, shut the f—k up,” he told the outlet at the time. “Good God, you cannot believe the things people were leaving my wife on Instagram. She did it. I said ‘yes.’ We're happy. That's it. That's all you need to know.” LRNYC/MEGA
After the actress complained about people catching her “looking like s—t” outside of her hotel during Paris Fashion Week, Jackson had a sweet reply. "Why are you lying on the twitters,” he tweeted at the time. "You know you’ve never looked bad a day in your life.” Courtesy of Jodie Turner-Smith/Instagram
The couple hit the red carpet at the 27th annual Critics' Choice Awards, where Jackson shared an adorable update on the pair's daughter, Janie. "She's talking! So when we were leaving to come down here today, she was like, 'I come work? I come too? I come too,'" he gushed to Entertainment Tonight. "[Being an] actress is gonna be too small for her. She's gonna rule the world." The Dr. Death actor went on to joke about the star-studded ceremony, calling it "a normal Sunday" for Turner-Smith. Image Press Agency/NurPhoto/Shutterstock
“The Bahamas have a really special history for me and Josh because this was the first place we came together,” Turner-Smith recalled during an interview with AnOther Magazine. “You know how it is, when you meet someone, it’s like, are you going to take me on holiday? That’s how I know you’re serious.” She added: “We went to the Bahamas and it was this really special trip because we were falling in love with each other but not wanting to say that yet, and I remember he rented this boat and took me on a tour of the Exumas. … And now we’ve brought our daughter here. It’s really special to be here together.” ADAM S DAVIS/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock
Turner gushed about how “damn good” Jackson looks in a suit as the pair hit the Met Gala carpet in Gucci. “I’ve never worn tails in my life,” the actor told The New York Times at the time. “So it feels, in the proper way that a costume ball should, like I’m actually putting on a costume. But also I just look really good. It’s hard to keep up — you really got to keep it together when you’re standing next to her.” Erik Pendzich/Shutterstock
"She is undeniably one of the most beautiful women on the planet," Jackson gushed to E! News. "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." John Nacion/NurPhoto/Shutterstock
The duo raised eyebrows when they re-followed each other on Instagram. Amid split speculation, Smith seemingly addressed the rumors. "I love this. Thank you! All many people want is to gossip and tear down. It's beautiful when someone treats us with respect and kindness," the actress reportedly wrote to Forbes contributor Jeff Conway via Instagram in response to an article he penned about the couple.

"I would say I'm more married to cool than I am cool myself," Jackson told E! News when being called one of the coolest couples in Hollywood alongside his wife. "But I'll take the compliment." The former WB star further explained that his life with both Turner-Smith and their daughter has made him fuller. "It's pretty spectacular, honestly," he said of family life. "This having a kid thing together is pretty magical." Jackson added that even the couple’s house lends itself to be “more homey” now that a child is living there. "It's very, very baby-oriented and family-oriented inside the house." Broadimage/Shutterstock
