Exes Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith Share the Spotlight Amid Custody Drama at Oscars After-Party
Well, well, well! It looks like exes Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith are keeping it classy at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party despite the chaos of their ongoing custody battle over their daughter, Juno. Just a few weeks after Jodie accused Joshua of failing to pay child support and fighting for sole custody, the pair managed to stay civil and attend the glamorous event on March 2. Talk about a power move!
The former couple, who were married from 2019 until 2023, showcased their individual styles and grace on the red carpet: Joshua rocked a dapper burgundy velvet tux, while Jodie turned heads in a stunning white Vivienne Westwood gown, complete with a daring slit and eye-catching jewelry. They may not be together anymore, but they certainly know how to steal the show!
Now, let’s dish on the drama. Just last month, Jodie filed court documents claiming that Joshua has paid “$0” in both child and spousal support since their split. She asserted that while she has tried to negotiate, it’s been “to no avail,” leading her to seek the court’s help. Jodie is requesting a whopping $8,543 per month in child support, $28,641 for spousal support, and a retroactive payment of $250,000 to cover her legal fees. That’s a hefty sum, but hey, parenting is expensive, especially in Hollywood!
In her filing, Jodie emphasized the disparity in their earnings during their marriage, highlighting that Joshua has enjoyed a successful acting career for over 30 years, while she’s still working to establish herself in the industry. As they gear up for a court hearing scheduled for April 11, it’s clear that both parents are trying to navigate co-parenting amidst the spotlight.
While their legal battle is heating up, it seems that both Joshua and Jodie are committed to their respective careers in Hollywood, proving that they can coexist in the industry despite personal challenges. As they both mingle with A-listers at high-profile events, fans can’t help but wonder if this public outing hints at a potential truce—or if it’s just another chapter in their complicated love story.
Stay tuned, folks! This custody saga is far from over, and we’ll be watching closely as the drama unfolds.
