Joshua Jackson Says Daughter Juno, 5, Had a Few Key Suggestions for Rebuilding Their House After It Burned in L.A. Fires
Joshua Jackson's daughter had some ideas about what to add to their house when they rebuild it The actor's childhood home, in which he lived with his daughter Juno, 5, burned down in the Los Angeles fires Jackson shares his daughter with ex-wife Jodie Turner-SmithJoshua Jackson's daughter had some suggestions for rebuilding their home after it burned down during the Los Angeles fires. The actor, 46, appeared on Today on Tuesday, May 27, and spoke about how he lost his childhood home during the fires in Los Angeles earlier this year. Jackson said that it was "not easy" and that the first six weeks were a "scramble," but noted that his daughter Juno, 5, was particularly resilient in the face of the disaster. "It just so happened that the day of a fire was a transfer day, so I drop her off at school, her mom picks her up, which was a blessing because it meant I had six days to kind of get it together, figure out a place for us to live, get the house restocked, get our feet on the ground," Jackson shared. "But it also meant that for six days, she didn't know her house burnt down."

"So when she comes back, I sit her down and tell her, 'Honey, I've got some bad news. The house burned down.' She starts to cry, which is good, right? She's processing," he continues. The proud dad says his daughter began asking if specific things were okay after the fires, to which Jackson had to answer that they had all burned down as well. "I say, 'This is not a grown-up thing. You can ask me any question you want about this and I will tell you whatever you want to know.' And she said, 'I would like to see some pictures.' So I go, 'Okay,' and I show her some pictures of the house," says Jackson. "She looks at it and she goes, 'Daddy, when we build the new house, we should build it with water around it because water doesn't burn.'" "I go, 'Okay,' and then she says, 'And you know what, we should build it with dirt around it because dirt doesn't burn.' I said, 'Honey, these are great ideas. I'm going to write these down and we're gonna write out a list.'" The father-daughter duo ended up spending an hour going through it and creating a list, which became "turrets and rainbows and unicorns." "This is the kind of thing to watch her process, this is loss, and she still bring it up, 'I miss my house,' and we've gone up there a bunch to try to keep a connection with the land and help her through it, but I'm astonished by her resiliency and her ability to process," says Jackson. Jackson shares his daughter with ex-wife Jodie Turner-Smith . The actor opened up about his divorce from Turner-Smith on an April episode of Jesse Tyler Ferguson's Dinner's on Me podcast and shared that he will always put his daughter first, despite all of life's outside factors. "If I ever did anything to estrange my daughter from myself, I would be in duress," he said. "I actually can't conceive of it because I don't even wanna think of the pain that that would be." "Regardless of how messy the divorce is, beautiful the divorce is, easy [or] hard the co-parenting is ... I think this generation of dads is understanding, like 'I need to be here. It's gonna be hard, but this is important, and I've got to do this,' " continued Jackson. "It's my job – shared with my ex-wife – to do everything that we can to nurture you, cultivate you and give you all the tools that you need in life." Read the original article on People

Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith Face New Showdown Over Their Daughter in Divorce Battle
Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith have hit another roadblock in their ongoing divorce proceedings. The exes, who were married from 2019 to 2023, are reportedly facing a new court showdown amid their divorce battle, as they seemingly can't agree on where to send their 5-year-old daughter to school. According to docs obtained by TMZ, the pair are on the same page when it comes to most of their terms, but Jackson, 46, won't budge on their daughter's elementary school. As a result, Turner-Smith, 38, reportedly wants the judge to force Jackson into adhering to a court order that gives her the power to pick their child's place of education. In docs reportedly filed by her attorney, Laura Wasser, the actress said she wants their daughter to move to a new school next year, but Jackson isn't onboard. She claimed she researched the new school, conferred with him about it and made sure it was close enough to his home — but he's still reportedly refusing to agree to a switch-up. Us Weekly has reached out to both parties for comment. Jodie Turner-Smith Accuses Joshua Jackson of Demanding Sole Legal Custody of Their Daughter According to the legal docs, Jackson and Turner-Smith used a mediator to come up with a temporary schedule to govern the 50-50 custody of their daughter. He will allegedly pay $2,787 a month in child support with no monthly spousal support, as they settled on a lump sum. She is also asking Jackson to pay $75,000 for her attorney fees related to the school battle. Jackson recently spoke about his 'important' role as a father in an April 22 interview with Jesse Tyler Ferguson on his 'Dinner's on Me' podcast. "If I ever did anything to estrange my daughter from myself, I would be in duress," Jackson said. "I actually can't conceive of it because I don't even wanna think of the pain that that would be." The Doctor Odyssey star continued: "Regardless of how messy the divorce is, beautiful the divorce is, easy [or] hard the co-parenting is ... I think this generation of dads is understanding, like, 'I need to be here. It's gonna be hard, but this is important, and I've got to do this.' It's my job — shared with my ex-wife — to do everything that we can to nurture you, cultivate you and give you all the tools that you need in life." Jodie Turner-Smith Claims Estranged Husband Joshua Jackson Hasn't Paid Child Support Amid Divorce Turner-Smith also recently praised her daughter ahead of her kindergarten year. "She's just blossoming into such an intelligent, young, bossy, little one," she told E! News in March. "I mean, she's been reading since she was 3, so she already hit that milestone. I mean, she's about to go to kindergarten. I mean, that's a big milestone." The Queen & Slim actress added that although it's exciting to see her daughter grow up, it's also a bittersweet feeling. "I kind of want to cry," she said, "but I'm also very excited for her growing up, because I just need to get to hang out together more."

NEWS OF THE WEEK: Matt Bomer reflects on being outed by tabloids: 'It felt kind of unfair'
During an interview for the Dinner's on Me podcast on Tuesday, the actor described how he was the subject of rumours in the media amid his rise to fame after landing the role of Neal Caffrey in the TV series White Collar back in 2009. "It was that time when folks could kind of take over your own personal narrative before you even had a chance to. I remember outlets talking about my personal life before I had ever had a chance to even do it myself. And it wasn't because I didn't want to, I didn't even have an opportunity to."

Matt Bomer looks back on being outed by tabloids: 'It felt kind of unfair... that was stolen'
Matt Bomer feels he was the subject of "unfair" treatment by the media early in his career. On Monday's episode of the Dinner's on Me podcast with Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Bomer recalled a time "when folks could kind of take over your own personal narrative before you even had a chance to." He specifically referenced "outlets like Perez Hilton," which appeared to relish in "talking about my personal life before I had ever had a chance to even do it myself. And it wasn't because I didn't want to; I didn't even have an opportunity to." Bomer publicly came out as gay during a 2012 awards speech, calling his husband, the publicist Simon Halls, and their three children "my proudest accomplishment." But by that time, the rising actor had been the subject of numerous items in celebrity news sites and gossip blogs that speculated on his sexuality. In 2024 he revealed he was told being outed this way cost him the role of Superman in a film to be directed by Brett Ratner. Though there was rampant and damaging speculation, Bomer told Ferguson that "no media outlet was ever going like, 'Hey!'" - as in, they were happy to print rumors, but not inclined to give Bomer the platform to tell his story on his own terms. "I just didn't have a career that warranted that," he explained. "And so it felt kind of unfair to me, that that was stolen by people who did have a microphone at the time." "It was a weird time," Bomer reflected, because he never hid his sexuality in public. "Even when we were walking around in the streets, you know, there'd be pictures of Simon and our kids and I," he explained. Leading up to a planned speech at the 2012 Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards in Palm Springs, Calif., Bomer began thinking that he didn't want his family "to feel like they were some kind of shameful secret or, something I was sweeping under the rug so I could have a great career."Though he lost the role of Superman in 2013's Superman: Man of Steel to Henry Cavill, Bomer's career began to flourish in the early 2010s, with a plum role in the USA Network series White Collar and a big-screen break in the form of Magic Mike. But both characters had begun to cast him in the mold of "a straight leading man." "I didn't have anything to fall back on," Bomer continued. "But what I had was a loving family. That was my safety net. And I was like, you know what? If the worst that happens is that I don't work again and I have this beautiful family who I love and who loves me, then so be it."The actor has gone on to star in series like Fellow Travelers, a historical series set in the world of politics in the 1950s, which explores the deleterious psychic effect that being forced to live in the closet can have on LGBTQ people. Speaking about his character Hawk to Entertainment Weekly in 2023, Bomer noted, "Hawk does have a public persona that he needs to survive and maneuver in the world that he's in, but underneath it all is a real 'f--- you.'" The actor called that, "So refreshing to get to play, but it was also really refreshing to see — not that every intimate gay relationship is like that, but to see an aspect of gay sex brought to life in such an authentic and unflinching way."
