Jodie Turner-Smith is feeling grateful to have her own mother as a guiding light on her parenting journey.

In an interview for Another Magazine‘s spring/summer issue, the 35-year-old actress opened up about her daughter’s close relationship with her own mother and why it’s so meaningful for Turner-Smith to see.

“I never had a close relationship with my grandmas. So the fact that my daughter is really close with her grandma literally makes me cry every time I think about it,” says Turner-Smith, who welcomed her little girl with husband Joshua Jackson back in April 2020.

“To me, the concept of someone being close to their grandma was like a movie and TV thing. It wasn’t real life,” she continues. “I’m just happy to create that world for my daughter. It really does take a village. And I have so many people helping me make it happen.”
