Jodie Turner-Smith’s Estranged Husband Joshua Jackson Was ‘Caught Off Guard’ When She Filed For Divorce, Insider Claims Marriage Made Actress ‘Unhappy’

British actress Jodie Turner-Smith might have walked away from her marriage in order to put herself first.

Earlier this week news broke that Jodie Turner-Smith filed for divorce from “Dawson’s Creek” actor Joshua Jackson, 45, after three years of marriage. Reportedly, the legal documents note September 13 as their date of separation. On that same day, however, Jodie Turner-Smith shared a post on IG thanking her family and loved ones for showing her love on her 37th birthday. In her divorce petition, she cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the separation and asked the court to grant 50/50 shared custody of their three-year-old daughter.

Many were shocked when Jodie decided to end her marriage, mainly because she was spotted in NYC with her (estranged) husband looking happy shortly before the divorce reports surfaced. Allegedly, even Joshua Jackson was “caught off guard” by the news. An insider said,

“Joshua was clearly caught off guard by Jodie’s decision to divorce. They had their issues, as many couples do — especially two busy actors who are also juggling a child.”

They added,

“Their friends are baffled and trying to understand how this came about.”

However, another source has claimed their marriage was “unhealthy” and it made Jodie “unhappy.” They said,

“She decided that she is done…They are on very different paths in life. Jodie loves being a mom. She also loves working.”

They added,

“It turned into an unhealthy marriage that made her unhappy. They will co-parent their daughter. They want her to continue to thrive.”
