Focusing on joy and child-centered co-parenting, exes Jodie Turner-Smith and Joshua Jackson recently reunited for a picturesque family retreat in the West Indies alongside their 6-year-old daughter, Juno.
The 39-year-old Tron: Ares star took to social media to share a glimpse into their tropical vacation at the luxurious Four Seasons Resort on the island of Nevis. Captioning the photo dump “dreamy days at @fsnevis,” Turner-Smith showcased a candid, heartwarming shot of the 48-year-old Dawson’s Creek actor sharing a sweet embrace with Juno against a sun-drenched backdrop. The carousel also highlighted lush island scenery, elegant hotel interiors, custom cookies spelling out Juno’s name, and playful video clips of local monkeys on the lawn alongside nighttime beach runs.
The getaway underscores the former couple’s dedication to creating positive memories together despite their romantic separation. The pair first linked up in October 2018, married in late 2019, and welcomed Juno in April 2020. Turner-Smith filed for divorce in October 2023 after four years of marriage, with the legal split finalized in May 2025.
Opening up about the emotional landscape of divorce during an appearance on Hoda Kotb’s Joy 101 podcast, Turner-Smith spoke candidly about how she and Jackson navigate difficult conversations with their young daughter.
“I’m a child of divorce, myself, and so is my ex-husband,” Turner-Smith shared. “It’s always been important to think about what is the language around which we are going to talk about this with our daughter because this is her new reality.”
Acknowledging that co-parenting requires patience and constant adaptation, the actress reflected on their ongoing approach. “We’re learning as well and not always getting it totally right, but the idea is always two homes filled with love,” she continued. “I’m like, ‘You got two houses, girl.’”
Turner-Smith noted that the most delicate part of the process is maintaining honesty while protecting her daughter’s emotional wellbeing. “You got to walk this line between, obviously, being age appropriate and child-centered in the way that you talk about it,” she explained. “But also keeping it real, so that she has an understanding of what this means.” To help bridge that gap, Turner-Smith revealed that literature has become her most trusted resource. “I read her so many books about divorce, about what that means. About what that new world is, about what is supposed to be happening, what’s not supposed to be happening,” she added. “Children’s books have been helpful as well.”
