Jodie Turner-Smith is giving fans another rare glimpse into life with her 6-year-old daughter, Juno, sharing a sweet vacation photo while continuing to protect the little girl’s privacy.

The 39-year-old actress, who stars in A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, recently posted an image showing herself carrying Juno during a getaway. In the photograph, Turner-Smith appears effortlessly vacation-ready in sunglasses, an oversized woven straw hat and a white crocheted two-piece outfit.

Juno, whom Turner-Smith shares with ex-husband Joshua Jackson, 48, wears a striped top and denim shorts as she is carried by her mother.

As with most photographs Turner-Smith has shared of her daughter, Juno’s face is turned away from the camera.

The choice reflects the actress’ long-standing effort to keep much of her daughter’s identity and childhood private despite both of her parents having high-profile careers in entertainment.

A Special Mother-Daughter Getaway

The latest image follows a series of photographs Turner-Smith shared earlier this month from a dreamy Caribbean vacation with Juno.

The mother and daughter spent time at Four Seasons Resort Nevis, where they enjoyed the beach, swimming pool, wildlife and tropical surroundings.

Turner-Smith documented several moments from the trip on Instagram, captioning the collection, “Dreamy days at @fsnevis #FSNevis.”

Among the vacation memories was even a small Polaroid-style photograph showing Jackson spending time with Juno, suggesting that both parents were part of the broader family experience despite their divorce.

Turner-Smith and Jackson welcomed Juno in April 2020, several months after marrying in 2019.

Their marriage eventually ended when Turner-Smith filed for divorce in October 2023.

After navigating legal and parenting arrangements, the former couple reached a divorce settlement in May 2025 and agreed to share joint custody of their daughter.

Since then, Turner-Smith has occasionally discussed the realities of raising Juno across two households.

Learning How to Co-Parent

Turner-Smith has been candid about the fact that co-parenting after divorce requires adjustment.

During an October 2024 interview with Glamour U.K., she described the experience as an “adjustment period,” emphasizing that parents do not receive a clear set of instructions for how to navigate such a major family transition.

“Nobody hands you a manual,” she said. “Everyone’s trying to figure it out.”

That philosophy has continued to shape the way Turner-Smith and Jackson communicate with their daughter about their separation.

During an appearance on Hoda Kotb’s Joy 101 podcast in June, Turner-Smith explained that both she and Jackson have personal experience with divorce because their own parents separated when they were children.

That shared background made them especially conscious of the language they wanted to use with Juno.

“I’m a child of divorce myself, and so is my ex-husband,” Turner-Smith explained.

For the actress, the challenge has been finding ways to explain the family’s new structure honestly without making the situation overwhelming for a young child.

She said they have tried to focus on helping Juno understand that although her parents no longer live together, she remains surrounded by love.

“We’re learning as well and not always getting it totally right — but the idea is always two homes filled with love,” she said.

Turner-Smith even described putting a positive spin on the arrangement for her daughter, joking with Juno, “You got two houses, girl.”

Using Books to Explain Divorce

Turner-Smith has also relied on children’s books as an important tool for helping Juno process the changes in her family.

The actress said she believes in “keeping it real” while still making discussions appropriate for her daughter’s age.

Rather than avoiding the subject of divorce, Turner-Smith has made an effort to give Juno language she can use to understand what is happening.

“I read her so many books about divorce, about what that means,” she explained.

Those books explore what life can look like when parents separate, what children can expect and, importantly, what should not change.

Turner-Smith said children’s literature has become one of her favorite ways of navigating difficult family conversations because it allows complicated ideas to be presented in a form young children can understand.

Protecting Juno While Sharing Special Moments

Despite speaking openly about some aspects of motherhood, Turner-Smith remains careful about how much of Juno’s life she reveals publicly.

Even when she posts photographs of her daughter, Juno’s face is typically hidden or turned away.

Still, there have been occasional moments when Turner-Smith has shared particularly memorable experiences involving her daughter.

One of those moments involved Taylor Swift.

Earlier this year, Turner-Smith appeared in Swift’s star-filled music video for “Opalite.” She brought Juno to the set after Swift expressed an interest in meeting her.

Turner-Smith later told PEOPLE that keeping the project secret had created an unusual situation, especially with a young child present.

According to the actress, some members of the production were initially concerned that Juno might accidentally reveal details about the unreleased project.

Swift, however, reportedly insisted that she wanted Juno to come.

“Taylor was like, ‘I want to meet her,’ ” Turner-Smith recalled, calling the gesture “so sweet.”

Turner-Smith was also impressed that her daughter managed to keep the experience private before the music video was officially released.

“I’m so proud of my daughter for not telling anyone,” she said.

After “Opalite” became public, Turner-Smith shared several behind-the-scenes photographs, including a touching image of Swift interacting with Juno.

In her accompanying message, the actress praised Swift for her creativity, intelligence, wit, generosity and grace, writing that she continued to be in awe of the superstar.

Raising the Daughter She Always Imagined

Turner-Smith has also spoken warmly about Juno’s personality.

In her Glamour U.K. interview, she joked that her daughter has turned out to be exactly the kind of child she once imagined raising.

“I said I wanted a brilliant, intelligent, sassy daughter, and here she is,” Turner-Smith said.

The comment offered a glimpse into the close relationship between mother and daughter, even as Turner-Smith works to keep most of Juno’s daily life out of public view.

Her recent vacation photographs reinforce that balance.

Fans may occasionally see Juno walking on the beach, exploring a resort or being carried by her mother, but the actress continues to maintain clear boundaries around her daughter’s identity.

Moving Forward as a Family

More than two years after Turner-Smith filed for divorce from Jackson, the actress appears focused on creating stability for Juno while accepting that co-parenting is an evolving process.

Her comments suggest that she does not expect either parent to handle every situation perfectly.

Instead, the guiding principle is ensuring that Juno understands she remains deeply loved by both sides of her family.

That approach can also be seen in the images Turner-Smith chooses to share publicly.

Even her Caribbean vacation post included a small glimpse of Jackson spending time with their daughter, presenting a picture of two parents who continue to play active roles in Juno’s life despite the end of their marriage.

For Turner-Smith, the ultimate goal appears to be less about creating the image of a perfect post-divorce family and more about giving Juno security, honesty and affection as she grows.

Her latest photograph captures that philosophy in a simple moment: a mother carrying her daughter during a sunny vacation, with Juno’s face carefully protected from the camera.

It is a rare glimpse into their bond — but one that remains firmly on Turner-Smith’s terms, balancing the joy of sharing motherhood with her determination to give Juno as private and loving a childhood as possible.
