Former Dawson’s Creek co-stars Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson have reignited romance speculation after reuniting both on and off screen, leaving fans of the iconic ’90s teen drama buzzing.
The pair were one of television’s most beloved couples during Dawson’s Creek and famously dated in real life while the show aired. Now, decades later, they have reunited to star in a romantic comedy trilogy titled Happy Hours, in which they play childhood sweethearts who reconnect later in life.
Cozy Outings Fuel Romance Rumors
Their recent public appearances and relaxed, cozy outings have sparked fresh rumors of a rekindled romance. However, sources close to the actors suggest the relationship is not serious and remains casual.
“Katie says spending time with Josh makes her feel alive again and she doesn’t want to shut that down just because she can’t possess him,” a source told the National Enquirer.
Insiders Say Relationship Is Casual
According to insiders, Joshua Jackson has been clear about his intentions.
“Josh has always been upfront about what he is doing. He’s told her he’s not ready to be committed, so it’s not like he’s sneaking around,” the source added. “Katie says she can respect that.”
The insider also noted that Holmes has not had a romantic relationship in quite some time and believes she can handle the situation emotionally, despite concerns from her friends.
“She insists she’s strong enough to handle whatever happens, but that hasn’t stopped her friends from worrying — it’s obvious she’s playing with fire,” the source said.
Past Relationships and Family Life
Katie Holmes was previously married to Tom Cruise, with whom she shares a daughter, Suri. Joshua Jackson shares a daughter, Juno Rose Diana Jackson, with his ex-wife, actress Jodie Turner-Smith.
While fans continue to hope for a real-life reunion, sources maintain that for now, the former Dawson’s Creek stars are simply enjoying each other’s company as they collaborate on their latest project.
