What Did Jodie Turner-Smith Say About Co-Parenting?

As a fan who closely follows Jodie Turner-Smith‘s journey, I must say her wisdom and grace in co-parenting are truly inspiring. Her emphasis on centering the children and doing one’s best is a reminder for all of us, not just celebrities. It’s refreshing to see such a high-profile figure prioritize their child over personal conflicts.


Jodie Turner-Smith recently offered some insights following her co-parenting journey with ex-husband Joshua Jackson. The pair, who married in 2019, separated last year but remain committed to raising their 4-year-old daughter, Juno Rose Diana. In a recent interview at the MTV EMAs 2024, Turner-Smith spoke candidly about their experiences.

Jodi Turner-Smith on co-parenting: ‘Center the children’

During an interview at the 2024 MTV EMAs with Entertainment Tonight, Jodie Turner-Smith opened up about shared parenting with her former spouse, Joshua Jackson. The 38-year-old actress emphasized that the key to co-parenting is always keeping the children’s best interests in mind. She explained that when their lives are under public scrutiny, every action they take becomes a topic of discussion. Turner-Smith added that this leaves a lasting record of their actions, which she believes one would not want their children to misinterpret or be troubled by.

Turner-Smith emphasized, “Make the children your priority, and that’s the best you can do.” She went on to say, “Not everyone gets everything perfect, but if you keep your focus on what matters most, you’ll give it your all.” Previously, in an interview with GLAMOUR, she also discussed her co-parenting journey. She noted that there isn’t a manual for this and mentioned that everyone is trying to find their way through it.

During an Entertainment Tonight interview, Turner-Smith discussed the joys of motherhood as a “wonderful, beautiful experience.” She explained that parenting involves a process of learning to let go, allowing children to explore their individuality and grow into their own persons. Turner-Smith humorously mentioned that this can be tough when one is used to caring for their child, but then they suddenly want independence. She admitted she misses those early days and shared that her daughter also reminisces about it, fondly remembering the taste as being like ice cream.
