Real reason Jodie Turner-Smith filed for divorce as her family break silence

Jodie Turner-Smith and Joshua Jackson shocked fans when it was revealed the duo split after nearly four years of marriage.

The Queen & Slim star, 37, and her actor husband Joshua, 45, share a three-year-old daughter Juno Rose Diana. According to court documents obtained by TMZ the former Without Remorse star filed the paperwork with her attorney Laura Wasser and asked for joint custody of their three-year-old daughter Juno.

And now, more information about the split details the real reason Jodie decided to file for divorce. According to a source, Jodie decided she was "done". They added: "Jodie loves being a mom. She also loves working,' though it's unclear if her relationship with Joshua was strained by a desire to work."

Speaking to People, the source claimed: "It turned into an unhealthy marriage that made her unhappy." The day before she filed for divorce, the couple attended New York Fashion Week together. Mirror have contacted Jodie and Joshua's representatives for comment.

Before marrying, the pair did not sign a prenuptial agreement and the 37-year-old model has requested for spousal support to be off the table for both her and her former partner. The Anne Boleyn star listed the date of their separation as September 13, confirming that the two parted ways over a month ago.

Jodie and Joshua met at his birthday party in 2018 and the two fell head over heels for each other. They tied the knot a few months after meeting. The pair reportedly went to the Beverly Hills Courthouse and signed a wedding license together before most people even knew they were dating.

Since then, the couple have gushed about one another on social media and in interviews. The pair were actually engaged two times with Jodie popping the question first, something the former Dawson's Creek actor revealed during an interview on The Tonight Show.

He recalled: "She asked me, yeah, on New Year’s Eve. We were in Nicaragua. It was very beautiful and incredibly romantic. We were walking down the beach and she asked me to marry her.” The former Fatal Attraction star continued that he was caught off guard by her proposal and added that she was "quite adamant" that they should get married and "she was right". He then took the wedding ring off his finger and held it up in front of Jimmy Fallon and said: "This was the best choice I ever made."

Rumours began swirling about their whirlwind relationship earlier this year when fans noticed the two unfollowed each other on Instagram. They also stopped posting photos of each other on their pages.
