Jodie Turner-Smith and boyfriend Joshua Jackson got married

The brown skin beauty, Jodie Turner-Smith, that was the breakout star in Queen & Slim reportedly tied the knot to Joshua Jackson.

According to PEOPLE the two got married on the low recently. But word is that Turner-Smith, 33, and Jackson, 41, may have gotten married back in August when they were spotted leaving a Beverly Hills courthouse.

But that little courthouse rendezvous could have also just been a visit to secure the marriage certificates needed to make a marriage official.

In any event, the two have certified their relationship on the internet at least since 2018 when they were seen hand-in-hand happily leaving Usher’s birthday bash back in 2018, according to Us Weekly

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then Turner-Smith’s Instagram pic gazing into Jackson’s eyes is pretty rich.

“Two people who fancy each other a little bit,” she wrote in the caption.

If you missed it, last month in Los Angeles, the British actress and her beau, hit the red-carpet premiere of Turner-Smith’s film Queen & Slim.

The couple looked cute in Gucci outfits with Jackson sporting a three-piece suit while his lady finessed in a silk plissΓ© lilac gown.

Turner-Smith appears to be in a good place after her hit movie took flight. And it’s been a long-time coming for her to appreciate the skin she’s in.

Proof That The Glow Up Has Been Really Real πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜… it’s been soooo long since i’ve seen these pictures, but because the internet is undefeated, i found them! a blast from the past! i’m humbled when i look at this girl. 17 year old me. not just because of how i look on the outside, but because i remember how i felt on the inside. i remember how badly i hated myself and hated the dark skin that made people call me ugly. how i turned my helplessness at being unable to change my outward appearance inward, by constantly cleaving away any and all parts of myself that i was told made me unacceptable to others. how i changed my voice, changed my hair, became captain of this and president of that, used my intelligence to build a wall around me, spent years in the practice of bending and shaping myself into the most acceptable form of Jodie for the people around me until there was nothing of me left but hate for a person i didn’t recognise and fear that i had become someone it was impossible to come back from… AND, MY GOD, IT WAS EXHAUSTING! but i say all that to say this— i am grateful for the girl in these photos and for every part of this journey. because i couldn’t be me, now, if i wasn’t first her, then. when you know what it feels like to hate yourself, finally loving yourself is a freedom that cannot be matched by anyone else’s approval πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯° also worth noting— i was voted Most Likely To Succeed! but we all thought it would be in somebody’s office πŸ€“

AND, MY GOD, IT WAS EXHAUSTING!,” she posted.

She ended by explaining how much she’s grateful for who she has become.

Look at her now, glowing and feeling good about the skin she’s in with her boo by her side.

You go girl!
