After three years of marriage, the Dawson Creek's alum's priority is his little girl, the insider shared.

"He never wanted this for their daughter," the insider continued. "They both are great parents and will continue to be, he just hates that they won't be together as a couple for their daughter anymore. They will always be connected through her."

"He would have loved nothing more than to still be with Jodie and in a perfect world would probably even take her back if she were to stop the divorce, but now that they have got to this place, he is going to have to accept it," they added of the sticky situation.

The couple seemed to be in a good place, especially since Jackson, 45, previously gushed over his lady.

"She is undeniably one of the most beautiful women on the planet," he said. "And she always smashes it when she’s on the red carpet. That is truly a wonder to behold. But I will tell you, that there is nothing like waking up in the morning, opening my eyes and seeing her face in the morning."

For her part, Turner-Smith was hesitant to show off Jackson when they began their romance.

"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. Certain people feel strongly against it, in both communities. I felt it from the Black community. It is so complicated. I don’t want to give it too much energy. The horrific things that people were saying, it makes you … I’m learning there are certain things I have to really keep for myself," she said.
