Joshua Jackson on Fatherhood: Breaking Cycles

0:00On April 17th, Joshua Jackson got real on the dinners-on-me podcast back in April 2025, spilling about his late dad who straight up. Abandoned the family when he was a kid, instead of bitterness, he flipped it into a life lesson, saying the best advice from his absence was to step up as a present father himself. Over time, Jackson's view shifted big time, now that he's a dad to his daughter Juno, shared with ex-wife Jody Turner Smith. He opened up about feeling sympathy for his old man, imagining the pain of having four kids, but no real bond with any of them. Raised by a single mom, Jackson said he'd be wrecked without being in his own kid's life, and he can't even fathom that kind of hurt. Folks praised how gracefully he handled the heavy question, laughing it off while dropping those gems. Even after splitting from Turner Smith in 2023, they're locked in on co-parencing, keeping both parents front and center for Juno. Jackson calls fatherhood a self-healing journey, like repairing the kid he never fully had.
