From what I read in O at Home, I was under the impression that Maria and Jackson’s dad are no longer together. She mentioned that she was going on her first solo vacation since Jackson was born because his dad was taking him for the summer.

Wow, Jackson sounds like a wild child. Trying scorpions at seven. I wouldn’t even try tomatos at seven or seventeen or now sadly. I still remember Maria Bello from ER, except I always thought it was Mario for some reason.
