00:00 Jodi Turner-Smith and Joshua Jackson are calling it quits.

00:05 According to court documents obtained by E! News on Oct. 2, Jodi has filed for divorce

00:11 from the actor after four years of marriage.

00:15 The Queen and Slim star cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the breakup

00:20 and requested joint custody of the pair's 3-year-old daughter.

00:25 Their date of separation is listed as Sept. 13.

00:29 E! News has reached out to their reps for comment but has not yet heard back.

00:34 The pair wed in a secret ceremony in 2019.

00:38 Back in March, during an exclusive interview with E! News, Joshua opened up about his and

00:44 Jodi's relationship, revealing, "The most surprising thing is that it's a lot more homey

00:50 than it looks like from the outside.

00:52 It's very, very baby-oriented and family-oriented inside the house."

00:58 He added, "It's pretty spectacular, honestly.

01:01 Mama does love a dress-up and I don't mind getting dressed up and standing next to her,

01:05 but this having a kid thing together is pretty magical."

01:09 The couple welcomed their daughter in 2020, shortly after they tied the knot.

01:14 Jodi has also been candid about her struggle with having a relationship in the public eye,

01:19 telling Bustle, "Last year, when I came onto the scene, I was secretly married and I was

01:25 secretly pregnant.

01:26 And that was a story for people.

01:28 I think a lot of it was because I was married to a white person.

01:32 And I was married to a white person who has been in the public eye for decades and, you

01:37 know, has been someone that the tabloids like to talk about."

01:40 She called the period the most vulnerable time, adding, "I don't want to sit here and

01:44 be a celebrity who's complaining about the very ecosystem that keeps me wealthy.

01:50 But the reality is there is an underbelly that it's very hard to deal with."
