Jodie Turner-Smith says Joshua Jackson is a "great life partner"

Responding to a fan on Twitter who asked her how she knew she was ready for a child, the pregnant actress wrote: "i don't think you're ever 'ready'... but there were definitely certain boxes i wanted to tick before committing to it. the most important for me: being w/ sum1 i knew would be a great life partner. life has many variables, but once i knew i'd met the right person, i felt unafraid (sic)"

Meanwhile, the 33-year-old actress recently said she wouldn't be commenting on marriage speculation she wants to let people "assume whatever they want".

When asked about the rumours, she said: "I haven't said to anybody, 'Yeah, we got married'. People are assuming whatever they want, but when people tell me 'Congratulations', I say 'Thank you'."

However, the star admits her reluctance to open up about her rumoured marriage comes as she has received backlash for "possibly marrying a white man".

She explained: "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."

And although she's keeping her relationship status private, she has confessed to being "obsessed" with the 'Dawson's Creek' alum.

She gushed: "We are obsessed with each other. [I recently] went back and rewatched a lot of his movies. I do it whenever we're apart because I miss him so much. He loves that I am obsessed with him."
