Katie Holmes Sizzles with Ex-Friend Joshua Jackson on Set of New Movie, Leaving Fans Wondering if Romance is Rekindled

The drama never ends when it comes to Katie Holmes! The 46-year-old actress, who's been keeping a low profile since her divorce from Tom Cruise in 2012, was spotted getting cozy with her Dawson's Creek co-star Joshua Jackson on the set of their new movie, Happy Hour. And we're not talking about just any ordinary PDA - we're talking full-blown romance vibes!

Sources close to the production tell us that Katie and Josh have been inseparable since filming began, with the two sharing a sweet hug and holding hands while shooting a scene on Tuesday. The chemistry between them was palpable, and it's no wonder why fans are already speculating about a potential rekindling of their romance.

But before you start shipping Kat-Jo all over again, let's take a trip down memory lane. Katie and Josh first met back in the late 90s on the set of Dawson's Creek, where they played love interests. At the time, Josh was just a young buck trying to make it big in Hollywood, while Katie was already a rising star. Their on-screen chemistry was undeniable, but their off-screen romance was short-lived.

Fast forward to today, and it seems like the spark between them is still there. In an Instagram post last year, Katie gushed about her friendship with Josh, calling him one of her "wonderful friends" and praising their working relationship. But we all know what they say - when you work with someone as closely as you would with a partner, it can be hard to keep the lines blurred.

Speaking of relationships, Josh has had his fair share of high-profile romances over the years, including a marriage to actress Jodie Turner-Smith in 2019. But sources close to the couple claim that their relationship was rocky from the start, and they eventually divorced in 2023. And if that wasn't enough drama, Josh was also linked to Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong'o earlier this year.

Meanwhile, Katie has been keeping a low profile since her divorce from Tom Cruise in 2012. But it seems like she's finally getting back into the swing of things, with Happy Hour being her first major project in years. And what better way to kick off her comeback than with a dashing co-star like Josh?

But amidst all the romance and drama, let's not forget about Katie's real-life responsibilities - namely, taking care of her 19-year-old daughter Suri. Sources close to the family tell us that Suri is thriving at Carnegie Mellon University, where she's studying fashion. And if you think her mom is proud, wait until you hear what an insider revealed to The Scholarly Note about Katie's parenting style: "She is a smart girl, and she is turning into a very intelligent mature young woman... She has a very close group of loyal friends, and she knows exactly where she comes from."

But back to Josh and Katie - are they really rekindling their romance? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure - we can't get enough of this drama!
