AceShowbiz - Hectic schedule apparently is among things contributing to Jodie Turner-Smith and Joshua Jackson's separation. The pair allegedly had been trying to work on their marriage to no avail as their demanding work schedules continued to take a toll on their relationship.
"Jodie and Joshua's hectic work schedules started to weigh on their relationship starting over a year ago when they were both filming projects and not always in the same place," an insider told Entertainment Tonight.
The two stars' film projects forced them to be frequently in different locations. "They tried to make things work and were taking steps to help their relationship and deal with managing their busy schedules," the source added. "From an outside perspective, things looked great for a while, but privately, they were slowly growing apart."
Even though they decided to call off their marriage, "they are trying to be amicable as they move forward with their divorce and trying to avoid any feelings of animosity." The source continued, "They're both respectful of each other and focused on co-parenting their daughter. They want to have a positive relationship for her sake and for themselves."
