Joshua Jackson, Jodie Turner-Smith Welcome Baby Daughter
Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith have something to celebrate despite these unsettling times.
Page Six reports that the couple has welcomed their first child. Although the statement did not say that they were having a girl, Jodie already made that pretty clear when she referred to her baby as a "she" when she posted a video of her stomach. This will be the first child for both Joshua and Jodie. The rep for the couple states that both the mother and baby are healthy, which is great news considering that she gave birth during a pandemic.
Joshua, 41 and Jodie, 33 started dating in 2018, two years after he and longtime girlfriend Diane Kruger broke up after ten years of dating. According to Harper's Bazaar, the couple unofficially began to date in October 2018, during the birthday bash of Usher where they danced together the whole night. They have kept quiet about their relationship and people began to speculate when they seemed to have spent New Year's Eve together. Their Instagram posts showed that both stayed in Nicaragua and their photos seemed to be from the same place.
It was in 2019 when the British model Turner-Smith posted a sweet photo of her and Jackson gazing into each other's eyes and calling themselves two people who only fancy each other a little bit. Since then she has been regularly posting photos and videos of her boyfriend on Instagram.
The date of their wedding was never formally announced, but some sources say they applied for the license in August 2019. In their first red carpet appearance for the premiere of Queen & Slim, the couple was spotted wearing what looked like wedding rings. A month later, it was confirmed that not only had the couple already tied the know but that Turner-Smith was pregnant with their first child.
They are not the only couple who have welcomed or preparing to welcome a bundle of joy during the pandemic. Carson Daly and wife Siri welcomed their fourth child GOldie Patricia Daly last March 26. There's also Karina Smirnoff and Danielle Panabaker who recently gave birth.
Another star preparing to welcome her first child is none other than pop star Katy Perry, who is expected to give birth to her firstborn with fiance Orlando Bloom this summer. Sources say that the singer is doing her best to be healthy by eating right and doing yoga.
