Jodie and Joshua married in 2019 after meeting through mutual friends in 2018 and initially insisting their romance was just “casual”.
She has previously revealed that their romance began as a one-night stand.
In 2021, Jodie appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers and joked that despite a fast start, their relationship was still going well.
“When I first met my husband, we had a one-night stand,” she told the host. “We’re in a two- or three-year one-night stand now.”
She then told Seth the story of how they met at a party and both immediately felt a connection.
“First of all, I saw him before he saw me, and when I saw him, I thought, ‘I want that,’ she said.” “And then when he saw me, I just pretended I didn’t see him. “
Although she seemed unfazed by Joshua’s opening line, she explained how he came over and did his “sweet and charming thing.”
“He followed me around the party all night,” The Last Ship actress added. “He felt the energy. He felt it.’

Last seen: The couple stepped out in Santa Monica in August – with Jodie without a ring – in their last public appearance together
The couple began dating in October 2018 and tied the knot in December 2019 after the actress proposed during a New Year’s Eve vacation in Nicaragua and Joshua “instinctively” said yes.
Jodie was a banker before she met Pharrell Williams, who convinced her to become a model and move to Los Angeles. She made her acting debut in 2013 when she played a siren in the HBO series True Blood.
Turner-Smith rose to fame after starring in the 2019 film Queen & Slim.
She previously told People magazine that she appreciated being married to someone with so much experience in the industry.
Joshua has been working as an actor since 1991 and played the role of Pacey Witter in the hit teen series “Dawson’s Creek” from 1998 to 2003.
“He has a wealth of experience and advice based on experience,” Jodie said. “And I love that.” I just love picking his brain. I am someone who is just starting out. “That energy of someone who’s just starting out, that excitement that anything and everything is possible, I think I really inspire him with that.”
Example: Before meeting Jodie, Joshua had a decade-long romance with Diane Kruger that ended in 2016 (pictured 2015). She is now in a relationship with Norman Reedus and has a daughter with him
The “Nightflyers” actress told Seth that she watched “Dawson’s Creek” growing up and that she was “Team Pacey.”
One of the show’s most important storylines was the love triangle between Pacey, Joey (Katie Holmes) and Dawson (James Van Der Beek). It sparked fan wars between those who supported Pacey and those who were on “Team Dawson.”
“No offense to Dawson, but it was all about Pacey,” she said.
Before his relationship with Smith, Jackson had a decade-long romance with 47-year-old Diane Kruger, which ended in 2016.
Diane began dating Josh after she split from her husband of five years, French director Guillaume Canet.
Diane is now in a relationship with The Walking Dead star Norman Reedus and the couple share a daughter, Nova, four.
