Katie Holmes: Glum on Set Amid Joshua Jackson's New Romance Rumors

Katie Holmes was looking glum as she as she directed Joshua Jackson in New York City on Monday

Katie Holmes Sparks Romance Rumors with Joshua Jackson AGAIN?!

It looks like Katie Holmes, 47, is still smitten with her Dawson's Creek co-star and on-again, off-again love interest, Joshua Jackson! The actress was spotted beaming from ear to ear as she worked with the handsome hunk on the set of Happy Hours in New York City. But just when we thought their chemistry was undeniable, Jackson sparked romance rumors with Bridgerton star Simone Ashley over the weekend!

Katie's Blushing Moment

It seems nothing could break her concentration

As Katie Holmes chatted with Joshua during a scene shot outside of the Dear Strangers restaurant in Greenwich Village, she couldn't contain her excitement and smiled brightly as they worked together. Even when the cameras were off, the chemistry between them was palpable! Fans took to social media to gush over their obvious sparks: "She looks like she's still in love with him!" one fan wrote, while another chimed in, "I'm in love with how in love she is with Pacey!"

Joshua's Love Life

But it seems Joshua Jackson has moved on from his Dawson's Creek days! The 46-year-old actor was spotted strolling hand-in-hand with Simone Ashley, a stunning 30-year-old actress from the hit Netflix series Bridgerton. This new romance comes just two years after his divorce from Jodie Turner-Smith, with whom he shares their adorable five-year-old daughter Juno. Jackson's love life has been making headlines lately, and we can't help but wonder if he's finally found "the one."

It's a contrast from the considerably more giddy display she put on last week

The Drama Unfolds

But what about Katie Holmes? The actress, who shares 19-year-old daughter Suri Cruise with ex-husband Tom Cruise, seems to have moved on from her past heartbreak. Or has she? Fans are convinced that there's still a spark between her and Joshua Jackson, and we can't blame them! After all, the two stars famously dated back in the late '90s and even starred together in Dawson's Creek.

What's Next for Katie and Joshua?

As Happy Hours continues to film, fans are eager to see if Katie and Joshua's on-screen chemistry will translate into real-life romance. But with Jackson now sparking rumors with Simone Ashley, it looks like things might get complicated! Will he choose between the two lovely ladies or keep his options open? One thing's for sure: we'll be watching with bated breath as this drama unfolds!
