Jodie Turner-Smith puts on a leggy display in distressed shorts and a fitted T-shirt as she steps out in Manhattan with her best friend Nancy

Jodie Turner-Smith looked as stylish as ever as she stepped out in Manhattan's SoHo with her best friend Nancy Gomez on Friday.
The British actress, 38, put on a leggy display in a pair of denim shorts and a fitted black T-shirt.
She kept comfortable in a pair of flat, black ballet pumps and she completed her outfit with a large, yellow Burberry shoulder bag.
Meanwhile, photographer Nancy cut an equally casual figure in an oversized white T-shirt.
She completed the look with a pair of black sunglasses and a baseball cap and they appeared in excellent spirits as they headed out for a stroll.
The friends are often seen together and they are so close that Jodie joked about them 'never beating the lesbian allegations' on social media in May.
She had shared a playful picture of them sharing a kiss with Jodie captioning her cheeky words, with Nancy responding: 'Like ever lol.'
Their jovial outing comes after a difficult time amid Jodie's bitter custody battle with her ex-husband Joshua Jackson, 46, over their five-year-old daughter Juno.
Relations between the pair took a further downward turn earlier this month when she appeared to compare him to a Disney villain.
Jodie and the Dawson's Creek star split in October 2023 citing 'irreconcilable differences' reportedly caused by their busy work schedules - after first sparking up a romance in 2018 and welcoming daughter Juno, now five.
The Queen & Slim actress took to Instagram earlier this month to share a cryptic post showing an array of Disney villains, who at first appeared nice.
The post read: 'Why don't you like that person? They seem so nice. You know who else seemed to be nice?' with Jodie adding the caption 'stay safe out there '

The post came after Joshua filed a motion and request for an emergency custody order modification, according to court documents obtained by E! News.
In the motion, filed on May 30, he claimed Jodie changed their five-year-old daughter's school for kindergarten without his permission.
He claimed she selected an establishment that was outside of the 45-minute commute time from his home that they had previously agreed upon.
He requested that Juno remains at her current school where she is 'flourishing' and is seeking joint consent with her ex-wife over any decisions regarding her education.

Hit Fantasy game played by 40 million people warned it will close down in DAYS on some consoles

A FANTASY massively multiplayer online role-playing game is set to wind down on two consoles next week. At its peak, the title reached some 40million players. 2 2 But it's the end of the road for anyone still playing on a PS4 or Xbox One. From June 26, Black Desert Online will be exclusive to Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. Other game studios are gradually doing the same, as they put all their energy into the latest devices and shift away from the old. A couple of days ago, online shooter The First Descendant went dark on PS4 and Xbox One. In Black Desert Online's case, developers apparently made the decision due to hardware limitations that make it difficult to introduce new content smoothly. "We understand that this news may be disappointing for our longtime Adventurers on these platforms," makers Pearl Abyss said. "Please know that this decision was made after careful consideration, with the goal of ensuring the future growth and evolution of Black Desert Console. "We remain fully committed to delivering you the best possible adventures in Black Desert." So, if you don't currently own a PS5 or Xbox Series X/S you'll have to dig deep and buy a brand new console if you want to keep playing the game. However, for those who do own one, the upgraded game will be available at no extra cost. Fortunately data won't be lost either, as you can transfer your account and carry on where you left off. Even your purchased items and Pearls will be switched across, so all is not lost. WHY DO GAMES NEED TO CLOSE DOWN? By Jamie Harris, Assistant Technology and Science Editor at The Sun With most games online these days, tech companies need to maintain quite hefty servers to manage everything. It's no cheap business to operate with millions of gamers across the world. Naturally, people move on, leaving older games behind in the process. There comes a point where it's no longer viable to continue offering server access so studios shut them down. For some games that are entirely online this can render it completely useless. But others may have a way for you to continue playing solo still. You should usually see a prominent notification in the game warning you with instructions on what to do - provided you're still playing the game of course.

Michelle Obama says she is 'glad' she never had a son because he would have turned out like Obama - as marriage rumours refuse to go away

Michelle Obama has said she is 'glad' she never had a son because he would have turned out like her husband - as their unhappy marriage rumours refuse to go away. The former First Lady, 61, shares daughters Sasha, 24, and Malia, 26, with 44th US president Barack Obama, 63, who was in office from 2009 to 2017. Speaking on her podcast IMO, which she co-hosts with her brother Craig Robinson, she said on Wednesday: 'I'm so glad I didn't have a son because he would have been a Barack Obama.' Guest Angie Martinez, an American radio presenter, there to help out on the agony aunt show, replied: 'Baby Barack. It would have been amazing.' But Mrs Obama soon countered, The Telegraph reports: 'No, I would've felt for him.' It comes as the couple, who tied the knot in 1992 after meeting as fellow attorneys at a Chicago law firm in 1989, face speculation their marriage is on the rocks - which Mrs Obama has vehemently denied. The rumours began after Mr Obama attended several high-profile events - including former president Jimmy Carter's funeral and President Donald Trump's inauguration, both in January - without his wife. And the Daily Mail revealed exclusively yesterday Mrs Obama has jetted off on a getaway to the Spanish island of Mallorca without her husband. Speaking on her podcast IMO (pictured), which she co-hosts with her brother Craig Robinson (centre, with guest Angie Martinez, left, and Mrs Obama, right), she said on Wednesday: 'I'm so glad I didn't have a son because he would have been a Barack Obama' Elsewhere in Wednesday's podcast episode, she appeared to take another swipe at her husband too as she mentioned his long-time hobby of playing golf. The author and former attorney began: 'Parenting is like fly-fishing. 'Never been fly fishing but from what I've seen about it, it's all in the wrist, it's a very delicate balance... it's like nothing works the same way every time.' Laughing, she finished, somewhat pointedly: 'It's elegance, right? It's not dunk and drop and grab... We should go fly fishing. Better than golfing.' Mrs Obama finally addressed long-running speculation about her 33-year marriage head-on on an episode of celebrity interview podcast The Diary of a CEO in May. She told host and entrepreneur Steven Bartlett: 'If I were having problems with my husband, everybody would know about it.' And she has spoken out on the matter on her own podcast too, praising Mr Obama as a 'tremendous father' during an episode this month. She said even when he was president, he left the job at the door whenever he talked to his daughters, determined to be there for them in their formative years. The couple were also spotted out on a date night in New York City last month, after having also been seen going out to dinner in Washington DC in April. And Mrs Obama told The Jay Shetty Podcast last month that though her marriage can be 'hard', 'I wouldn't trade it', calling her husband, 'as the young people say... my person'. She continued on the British mental health show: 'The beauty of my husband and our partnership is that neither one of us was ever really, ever going to quit at it, because that's not who we are. 'And I know that about him. He knows that about me.' In April, Mrs Obama also told American actress Sophia Bush on her celebrity interview podcast Work In Progress: 'We as women, I think we struggle with, like disappointing people. 'So much so that this year people were, they couldn't even fathom that I was making a choice for myself, that they had to assume that my husband and I are divorcing... that's what society does to us.' But despite these denials, the divorce rumours are proving hard to shake, with speculation reignited as she travels to Spain without her husband in tow this week. Mrs Obama was pictured yesterday with her daughters and James Costos, 62, former US ambassador to Spain and his partner Michael Smith, 62, the Obamas' longtime interior designer and former White House decorator‑in‑chief. The group were seen enjoying a meal at The Lobster Club in the Puerto Portals marina - with Mr Obama conspicuously not in attendance. Mr Smith and Mr Costos are long-time friends of the Obamas and have hosted the family many times at their Rancho Mirage home in Palm Springs, California. It followed the former First Lady's admission she does not like being referred to as Mrs Obama. She shared her reservations when appearing on the Las Culturistas podcast, hosted by American comedians Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang, with her brother earlier this week. Mr Rogers revealed before they began recording, she had asked him to just be called 'Michelle' instead of 'Mrs Obama'. He began the episode of the pop culture podcast: 'Earlier I was like, "Thank you so much, Mrs Obama," and you said, "Michelle,".' 'I did say that,' she responded, laughing, 'We cannot have a real conversation if you're saying, "Mrs Obama", that's too many syllables.' Mr Rogers then asked if she is usually quick to 'put down that shield for people,' and Mrs Obama admitted she was constantly trying to appear less intimidating. Despite Mrs Obama's denials, the divorce rumours are proving hard to shake, with speculation reignited as she travels to Spain without her husband in tow this week. Pictured: The Obamas on their wedding day in October 1992 'I was trying to do that when I was First Lady because I just think... I am not that position. I am Michelle', she explained. She said she lets children call her Mrs Obama 'because they're learning' - but does not like adults saying it, especially when she is trying to connect to them. 'I'm always trying to break down that wall to say, "We're just all here"', she continued. 'And the first thing to do is like, let's drop that title, that's a little heavy.' The former First Lady said people calling her Mrs Obama 'changes the dynamic': 'So, I'm Michelle.' Her brother Mr Robinson then quipped: 'I know what we call her - Your Highness.' 'Well, it's great to be on a first name basis', host Mr Rogers joked. The Obamas' eldest daughter Malia, an aspiring filmmaker, has also dropped her famous surname and is now going by Malia Ann professionally. Michelle has publicly supported Malia's decision, emphasising she wants her daughter to 'carve her own path' and 'make her way'. Other events of recent months that have fuelled speculation about the Obamas' marriage include Mrs Obama missing the couple's usual courtside seats at the NBA All-Stars basketball game in March.
