Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith are officially parents!
A rep for the “Little Fires Everywhere” actor and the Queen & Slim star confirmed their bundle of joy has arrived.
The couple has welcomed their first child. Both mother and baby are happy and healthy.
The rep did not confirm the gender of the baby, but Jodie has already done that over the course of her pregnancy.
Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith, who quietly tied the knot last year, have experienced their unfair share of racism.

During an interview with Britain’s The Sunday Times, Jodie said she doesn’t want to raise her child in America because “white supremacy is overt.”
White supremacy is overt. It’s the reason I don’t want to raise my kids here. I don’t want my kids to grow up doing active shooter drills at school.
There was this wave of people who were upset that I was possibly married to a white man.
In America, interracial dating or marriage is not something that is as accepted.
Jodie went on to say they may raise their child in Canada.
UPDATE:
Jodie took to Twitter to announce she is now a mother!
Congratulations to the couple on their bundle of joy!
