Jodie Turner-Smith and Nancy's Stylish SoHo Stroll Amidst Custody Drama
Jodie Turner-Smith and BFF Nancy Gomez's Fun-Filled Stroll Amidst Jodie's Turbulent Custody Battle
In a rare moment of sunshine, British actress Jodie Turner-Smith was spotted out and about in Manhattan's trendy SoHo neighborhood with her bestie Nancy Gomez on Friday. The pair looked like they were having the time of their lives as they strolled through the streets, arm-in-arm, in a stunning display of friendship.
The 38-year-old Queen & Slim star turned heads in a pair of high-waisted denim shorts and a fitted black T-shirt that showcased her toned physique. Adding a touch of elegance to her casual outfit was a large, sunshine-yellow Burberry shoulder bag. Meanwhile, Nancy cut an equally stylish figure in an oversized white T-shirt, black sunglasses, and a baseball cap.
The dynamic duo's jovial outing comes as Jodie is still reeling from a tumultuous few weeks amidst her bitter custody battle with ex-husband Joshua Jackson over their five-year-old daughter Juno. The drama unfolded earlier this month when Jodie appeared to take a swipe at her former partner, comparing him to a Disney villain in a cryptic Instagram post.
The post, which featured an array of seemingly innocuous Disney characters, read: "Why don't you like that person? They seem so nice. You know who else seemed to be nice?" with Jodie adding the cheeky caption, "Stay safe out there." The move was seen as a thinly veiled attack on Joshua, who had filed a motion and request for an emergency custody order modification just days prior.
According to court documents obtained by thescholarlynote.com, Joshua claimed that Jodie changed their daughter's school without his permission, selecting an establishment outside of the 45-minute commute time from his home that they had previously agreed upon. He is seeking joint consent with his ex-wife over any decisions regarding Juno's education.
Jodie and Joshua, who split in October 2023 after three years of marriage, have been embroiled in a very public custody battle since May. The drama began when Jodie shared a playful photo of herself and Nancy sharing a kiss on social media, captioning it, "Never beating the lesbian allegations" - a joke that Nancy responded to with a laughing emoji.
As Jodie navigates this difficult time, her friendship with Nancy remains rock-solid. And judging by their latest outing, they're not letting anything get them down. The pair's laughter and banter as they strolled through SoHo were infectious, and it was clear that they're each other's rock in the face of adversity.
