While celebrity breakups are common in Hollywood, the news that Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith are divorcing still managed to be quite a surprise.
Citing “irreconcilable differences,” the Queen & Slim actress, 37, filed for divorce from the Fatal Attraction star, 45, earlier this week, People reported. The former duo, who share a 3-year-old daughter, Juno, is staying mum about their split in the press.
