Jodie Turner-Smith revealed that she and Joshua Jackson had a one-night stand after they first met.
The 34-year-old actress made an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers and joked about how despite getting off to a quick start, their relationship was still going strong.
'When I first met my husband, we had a one-night stand,' she told the host, 47, on Wednesday. 'We're in a two, three-year one-night stand now.'

She went on to tell Seth the story of how they met at a party and both felt an instant connection.
'First of all, I saw him before he saw me and when I saw him, I was like, "I want that," she said. 'And then when he saw me, I just pretended like I didn't see him.'
The Affair star, 42, broke the ice by calling out to Jodie across with room with a comment on a t-shirt that she was wearing from the 2018 movie, Sorry To Bother You. The actress appeared in the movie along with Lakeith Stanfield, 29, and Tessa Thompson, 37.

While she seemed unimpressed with Joshua's opening line, she explained how he came over and did his 'cute and charming thing.'
'All night he followed me around the party,' The Last Ship actress added. 'He felt the energy. He felt it.'
The pair began dating in October 2018 and tied the knot in December 2019. Jodie gave birth to their first child, Janie, one, in April 2020.

Turner-Smith also described how it felt to spend the first year of motherhood in quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic.
'I was lucky that this was the time that you want to only cocoon with your baby like when they are first born. We were really lucky,' The Queen and Slim star said. 'Everything was shut down'
She added, 'Also suddenly, you get this like psychotic mother bear instinct where you want to guard your baby from everyone.
'I think it saved me from a lot of weird exchanges and altercations.'

The Jamaican native, who recently visited her home country, said that Janie was 'good on the plane' having taken six flights and with the family moving five times in the past few years.
Jodie was a banker before meeting Pharrell Williams who convinced her to become a model and move to Los Angeles. She made her acting debut in 2013 when she played a siren in the HBO series True Blood.
Turner-Smith rose to prominence after starring in the 2019 film, Queen & Slim. She can be seen in Tom Clancy's Without Remorse, which is available now to stream on Amazon Prime Video. Jodie is also playing the role of Anne Boleyn in a three-part series airing on the Channel 5.

She recently told People magazine that she appreciates being married to someone who has so much experience in the industry. Joshua has been acting since 1991 and starred as Pacey Witter in the hit teen show, Dawson's Creek, from 1998 to 2003.
'He has a wealth of experience to offer and advice to offer that's based on experience,' Jodie said. 'And I love that. I just love picking his brain about things. I'm somebody who's just beginning. So that energy of someone who's just beginning, that excitement, that just everything and anything is possible, I think that I really inspire him with that.'
The Nightflyers actress told Seth that she watched Dawson's Creek when she was growing up and she was 'Team Pacey'. One of the show's major storylines was the love triangle between Pacey, Joey(Katie Holmes) and Dawson(James Van Der Beek). It caused fan wars between those who were rooting for Pacey and those who were 'Team Dawson.'
'No offense to Dawson but it was all about Pacey,' she said.
