Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith are taking some time to celebrate the stars.

Less than a month after the Queen and Slim actress accused her ex-husband of not paying adequate child support, as well as accused him of seeking sole custody of their 4-year-old daughter Juno in a petition to the court, the pair both attended Vanity Fair’s 2025 Oscars after-party March 2.

For the evening festivities that followed the 97th Academy Awards, Joshua—who was married to Jodie from 2019 to 2023—looked dapper in a burgundy velvet tuxedo.

Meanwhile, Jodie was a vision in a white Vivienne Westwood gown that featured draped pleating on her waist and a head-turning slit along her left leg. She completed her look with a diamond and emerald choker and rings.

The recent outing comes after Jodie filed a petition in court Feb. 3, where—per the docs and obtained by E! News—she claimed that the Dawson’s Creek alum paid “$0 in guideline child/or spousal support” since their separation in 2023 and added that “even though, he, at the onset of this case, hired two law firms to represent him on custody issues, seeking full legal custody of Juno.”

Jodie said that she had done “everything” to meet Joshua, 46, halfway, she said it was simply “to no avail.”

“At this point, it is clear that Josh is unwilling to negotiate reasonable pendente lite spousal and child support payments to me,” she continued. “I am left with no choice but to seek this Court’s intervention and file the instant motion.”

The 38-year-old is seeking $8,543 per month in child support, $28,641 per month in spousal support, as well as $250,000 in retroactive pay for fees accrued. (A hearing has been set for April 11.)

“During our marriage, I spent a significant amount of time as the primary caretaker to Juno while Josh continued to advance in his acting career,” she argued in the filing. “Josh has been a successful working actor for over thirty years, while I am significantly younger and am still working hard to establish my acting career. During our marriage, Josh historically made more money than me and, at times, significantly more.”

E! News had reached out to reps for Joshua and did not hear back.

However, it seems the pair is still committed to remaining present in Hollywood, despite their ongoing legal battle. Read on to see all the stars who attended after-parties following the 2025 Oscars.
