Are social media and politics at odds? Joshua JacksonAnd Jodie Turner-Smith just followed each other on Instagram — leaving some people wondering when (or if) they stopped in the first place.
Speculation the pair weren’t keeping up with each other began on Thursday, September 22, when eagle-eyed fans noticed that Jackson, 44, and Turner-Smith, 36, no longer followed each other on the platform. The twosome had posted an ad that featured them as a couple, but did not reference each other in their captions.
“Why have Joshua Jackson and his wife Jodie Turner-Smith unfollowed each other on Instagram 👀👀👀,” one person wrote via Twitter on Thursday. “Aw, that’s sad, they were cute,” another one replied.
However, it appeared that the couple had been following each other by Friday, September 23, according to reports.
Despite the negative social media reviews, the Dawson’s CreekAlums recently spoke glowingly about the joys of getting married to the British actress.
“She is undeniably one of the most beautiful women on the planet,” he told E! NewsIn a story published Wednesday, September 21. “And she always smashes it when she’s on the red carpet. It is truly amazing to see. But I will tell you, that there is nothing like waking up in the morning, opening my eyes and seeing her face in the morning.”
The supposed snub between the couple raised eyebrows due to the twosome’s long history of interacting on the platform. From the Anne Boelyn star joking about being a die-hard Pacey Witter fan to Jackson gushing over his wife’s beauty, their interactions have made them a fan-favorite Hollywood couple since they were first linked in 2018.
In March, Turner-Smith took to Twitter to complain about staying in a hotel where photographers could catch her “looking like s—t all the time.” The AffairThe alum however quickly moved to the comment section to disagree. “Why are you lying on the Twitters. You know you’ve never looked bad a day in your life,” he replied.
They have been teasing and sharing their love on a regular base via all social media platforms.
“Happy Birthday my beautiful wife,” Jackson wrote via Instagram in September 2020 in celebration of Turner-Smith turning another year older. “Thank you for choosing to share your light with me. I am grateful that you have chosen to walk this path with me as my wife. We are so grateful that you brought our daughter into this world. This last year was the best year of my entire life. I can’t wait to see what all the years to come bring our way.”
