“Both mother and baby are happy and healthy.”

During an appearance on Good Morning America in March, the Dawson’s Creek actor acknowledged what a strange time it is to be bringing new life into the world. He shared:
“Obviously, it’s a bit stressful right now and we’re just trying to figure out how to be smart about being quarantined,” he continued. “The medical system right now is a little bit difficult, so we’re figuring it out day by day. But she’s healthy and the baby’s healthy, so that’s important.”
The 33-year-old actress had previously announced the sex of the baby in an Instagram story. Jackson later told Access Hollywood that he wasn’t surprised that he’d be having a daughter. Revealing his extended family is “85 or 90 percent female,” he joked:
“My family doesn’t really have boys, so I knew.”
A move may now be in the new parents’ future, as Turner-Smith has expressed the desire to raise her child outside the U.S., perhaps in her husband’s native Canada. She explained to The Sunday Times:
“The racial dynamics over here are fraught. 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.”
