Jodie Turner-Smith breaks her silence on ex-husband Joshua Jackson's new romance with Lupita Nyong'o: 'We need happiness in order to peacefully co-parent'

Jodie Turner-Smith has broken her silence on ex-husband Joshua Jackson's new romance with Lupita Nyong'o.

The 37-year-old British actress  —  who recently flashed her washboard abs in a tiny crop top — shared her thoughts in a new interview with The Cut on Friday.

'Good for them,' Jodie said. 'We need happiness in order to peacefully co-parent. I'm trying to get us to the Gwyneth [Paltrow] and Chris Martin level.'

The ex-couple share four-year-old daughter Juno Rose Diana Jackson, who was born in April 2020.

'I truly hope they're happy and that it benefits us as a family,' The Acolyte starlet said, putting their daughter first.

The Anne Boleyn actress went on to explain what co-parenting with Joshua is like and how she's adapted to life as a single mom.

'I just have to do everything that I can to set Juno up to win and to peacefully co-parent with someone whom I once loved very, very much,' she told the outlet.

'Peace is what's needed right now. Grace is what's needed right now. Love, empathy, compassion. I'm trying to be all those things and have faith that when I'm all those things, I will see that reflected back toward me,' she finished.

Joshua and Jodie were married from 2019 and split indefinitely in 2023.

Jodie cited 'irreconcilable differences' in her October 2023 divorce filing as she made a bid to remove herself from the 'unhealthy' marriage.

Sources told DailyMail.com at the time that Joshua had been left 'heartbroken' over the split.

But, just weeks later, the Fringe actor, 45, confirmed his romance with Lupita, 40. They were photographed holding hands publicly.

Providing rare insight on the demise of hers and Joshua's relationship, Jodie previously told Sunday Times Style, 'Sometimes things we really want to work just don't end up working. And that's OK. 

'The most important thing is that you choose what's healthiest for you and your family and definitely your children. There are so many different moments in our life where we look at ourselves and say, 'Who am I and am I being true to that?'

'If the answer is no, then you have to make a move because I believe that there are visible scars from staying in places that are not good for us.

'And they don't just affect us, they affect everybody around us. I don't think it's a failure. We obviously had such a beautiful moment together. And now it's time for a new moment for both of us,' she explained.

'The bravest thing in the world is to recognize when something's not working and to make a move, and I always want to set that kind of example for my daughter,' she said definitively.

'The big takeaway is that this is about just as much love and joy as it has always been. This is only about taking a step forward into a better life for everybody involved,' Jodie said.
