Jackson was first linked with the “Queen & Slim” and “Murder Mystery 2” actor in November 2018 when they were spotted walking together in LA, per photos obtained by Us Weekly. Their status as one of Hollywood’s most beloved couples was established just about instantly as their whirlwind romance unfolded in front of the world.
In a 2021 interview on “Late Night With Seth Meyers,” Turner-Smith revealed that she met Jackson at Usher’s 2018 40th birthday party and was immediately smitten with the star. “I saw him before he saw me, and when I saw him, I was like, ‘I want that,'” she said (via People). “And then when he saw me, I just pretended like I didn’t see him.” Somehow, that turned into a one-night stand that turned into a “three-year one-night stand,” Turner-Smith joked.
The pair went Instagram official a year later in August 2019, when Turner-Smith shared a photo of the pair on a date at the Clarke Cooke House in Newport, RI, captioning it, “Two people who only fancy each other a little bit.” That December, Us Weekly confirmed the couple had married in a secret ceremony, and they welcomed a baby girl together named Juno the following April.
In October 2021, Turner-Smith told People, “I love being a parent. It’s honestly one of the greatest things I could have asked for.” She also praised Jackson for his parenting skills, saying, “It’s everything. He’s an amazing partner and an amazing dad.”
Turner-Smith filed for divorce from the actor on Oct. 2. Neither has publicly commented on the split.
