He became a father in April of last year after his wife Jodie Turner-Smith gave birth to their daughter Janie.

And Joshua Jackson took some special time with his daughter on Saturday as they went for a walk in New York City.

The 42-year-old Dawson’s Creek star opted for a comfortable low-key look with a gray hoodie and matching sweatpants.

Joshua looked ready for anything in a pair of black-and-yellow Nike trainers.

He practiced proper coronavirus safety measures by wearing a pail pink and white mask and keeping his distance from other pedestrians. 

Janie looked comfortable in her Cybex by Jeremy Scott, which was decorated with gold wings and costs nearly $1,700 at several retailers.

She looked cute in a pale pink shirt covered in black dots and had her dark hair tied up in a top knot.

Seemingly missing from the outing was Joshua’s wife Jodie Turner-Smith. 

He and the Queen & Slim star have been together since late 2018, and they tied the knot in secret in December 2019, before welcoming Janie in the spring of 2020.

The English-born model and actress will next be seen on the big (and small) screen on April 30, when she stars in the Tom Clancy action thriller Without remorse with Michael B. Jordan, which will premiere on Amazon Prime.

Prior to Joshua’s relationship with Jodie, the Canadian star had a decade-long relationship with German actress Diane Kruger.

The Fringe star is currently experiencing a career resurgence as he plays the title role in the true-crime drama series Dr. Death for the Peacock streaming service.

He plays the imprisoned neurosurgeon Christopher Duntsch, whose crimes were committed while he worked at various hospitals around Dallas. 

The former doctor had had a checkered past in medical school, when he was removed from his residency temporarily over suspicions that he was under the influence of cocaine while operating, though he was later allowed to graduate.

While operating in the Dallas area, his gross malpractice led to the deaths and maiming of 33 patients.

Joshua’s career upswing began with his 2019 role in an episode of Ava DuVernay’s acclaimed Netflix miniseries When They See Us about the trial of the Central Park Five, a group of five Black teenagers who were wrongfully convicted of the aggravated assault and rape of a white woman who had been jogging in the park in 1989.

The five were exonerated after a man who was already locked up confessed to the crime, and they later settled a lawsuit against New York City for $41 million. 

He followed up the role with a more substantial one in the Hulu miniseries Little Fires Everywhere, which was based on the acclaimed novel of the same name and starred Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington.
