Jodie Turner-Smith’s Super-Rare Update on Her & Joshua Jackson’s Daughter Shows She’s Exactly Like Her Mom
Jodie Turner-Smith and Joshua Jackson’s daughter Janie is barely ever in the public eye. In fact, over the past few years, the parents have kept their daughter out of the public eye, both from photos and discussing her. But now, Turner-Smith gives rare details about their daughter Janie, and it shows she’s just like her mama!
The Star Wars: The Acolyte actress gave Good Morning America via EOnline super-rare details about her daughter, saying, like her, Janie “already loves movies.”

“Even from when she was much younger,” Turner-Smith said. “She will sit there watching something.”
But while the four-year-old is already a film fanatic like her actor parents, she apparently got spooked when her mother was in a Star Wars trailer.
Turner-Smith added, “She loves this little Star Wars cartoon and so I was like, ‘Look, it’s mummy in Star Wars.’ And she was like, ‘Eek, scary!'”
We love that Janie is already a film buff like her parents (and we can totally get how crazy it’d be to see your parent suddenly on screen, even as a cartoon character)!
Back in 2018, Jackson and Turner-Smith started dating and after a year together, Turner-Smith proposed to him while on vacation. They tied the knot in Dec 2019 and five months later, in April 2020; they welcomed Janie into the world.
They continue to co-parent Janie, but the pair split up in 2023.
Turner-Smith had to navigate motherhood at the height of the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, but that didn’t stop her from sticking to teaching her daughter some valuable lessons about self-worth. “That self--assuredness is what is going to help her navigate life. It’s important to impart to my daughter what is beautiful about her, and about who she comes from and where she comes from, and what is powerful about that,” she said in an interview with Vogue.
