Joshua Jackson Speaks Out: Divorce From Jodie Turner-Smith, Rumored Lupita Nyong’o Romance & New Series Revealed

Los Angeles — Nearly 18 months after Jodie Turner-Smith first filed for divorce, she and Joshua Jackson have reached a settlement that clarifies money and custody but leaves the pair locked in a new dispute over where their four-year-old daughter Juno will attend school. Key points • 50-50 custody & mediation clause The former couple agreed to share joint legal and physical custody and will use a professional mediator to craft Juno’s weekly schedule, a measure designed to avoid future courtroom returns. • Child-support specifics Jackson, 46, will pay $2,787 per month in child support and a single lump-sum spousal settlement, replacing any ongoing alimony. • Schooling stalemate Court filings reveal Turner-Smith, 38, was granted authority to select their daughter’s school, but Jackson’s legal team is challenging that order, citing commute concerns and requesting further review. Turner-Smith is now seeking $75,000 in attorney fees tied to the impasse. Timeline of the split – Sept 13 2023: Couple separates after celebrating Turner-Smith’s 37th birthday. – Oct 1 2023: Actress files for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. – May 2024: Day-long mediation yields temporary custody plan. – Dec 2024: Turner-Smith alleges Jackson hasn’t paid child support since filing. – May 3-12 2025: Settlement signed; schooling fight emerges. Why fans care now Joshua Jackson, best known for Dawson’s Creek, Dr. Death and the 2024 thriller Doctor Odyssey, has kept a low profile since wrapping Paramount+’s Fatal Attraction reboot. Turner-Smith, fresh off Star Wars: The Acolyte and the indie hit Breathe, continues to champion on-screen diversity and motherhood in interviews. Their contrasting schedules—and the lingering question of where Juno will study—have reignited public interest in a breakup many thought was already resolved. Industry impact Hollywood insiders note that Jackson’s upcoming promotional tour could be complicated by travel restrictions tied to the custody order, while Turner-Smith’s producers are reportedly building filming calendars around mediation dates. Family-law attorneys tell PEOPLE the case illustrates how school-choice disagreements increasingly prolong high-profile divorces in California’s court system. What happens next Unless the parents hammer out a compromise, the schooling issue will head back to a Los Angeles Superior Court judge this summer. For now, both stars say they remain committed to “a healthy co-parenting relationship,” but their next hearing could determine whether Juno starts kindergarten at Turner-Smith’s preferred private academy—or somewhere closer to Jackson’s West Hollywood home.
