Turner-Smith, 36, first met Jacksonat Usher’s 40th birthday party in October 2018, where she said they had a “one-night stand.” Appearing onLate Night with Seth Meyersin May 2021, she joked that theone-night standhad been dragged out. “We’re in a two, three-year one-night stand now.”
TheQueen & Slimbreakout then explained how they met at a party, and how she played hard to get. “First of all, I saw him before he saw me and when I saw him, I was like, ‘I want that,” she said. “And then when he saw me, I just pretended like I didn’t see him.”
Less than a year later, rumors circulated that the couple wereplanning to marry, as they were photographed picking up a marriage license. While their engagement wasn’t publicized until after they wed, Jackson later revealed that it was hiswife that popped the question— not him.
“We were in Nicaragua,” he told Jimmy Fallon during an appearance onThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “It was very beautiful, incredibly romantic. We were walking down the beach, and she asked me to marry her.”

Now that they’ve started a family,Jackson is fully embracing his role as a father. “It’s amazing,” he told Sirius XM’s Jess Cagle in June.
“It’s just this amazing thing where all the clichés are true,” Jackson said. “I mean, all of them, they’re like, ‘Oh, you’ll never experience love like this.’ That’s true. And ‘You think you’re in love with them when they first arrive, but you have no idea how much deeper it gets all the time.’ That’s absolutely true.”
