Katie Holmes' Sparkling Chemistry with Ex Joshua Jackson Leaves Fans Breathless!

It's been over two decades since Katie Holmes and her Dawson's Creek co-star Joshua Jackson sizzled on screen as Joey and Pacey, but it seems their on-screen chemistry still has a spark to it. The 46-year-old actress was recently spotted lighting up around her former flame during the filming of their new movie Happy Hour in New York City.

Katie, who looked radiant in a pale gray tank top, dark slacks, brown boots, and a pink plaid shirt tied around her waist, couldn't help but flash her famous smile whenever Joshua was nearby. Her locks were styled in intricate knots, showcasing her effortless beauty. Meanwhile, Joshua donned his signature laid-back look in a black T-shirt, blue jeans, and black boots.

The palpable chemistry between the two was not just limited to the on-screen scenes; they seemed to be enjoying each other's company even when the cameras weren't rolling. Fans couldn't help but swoon over their obvious connection, with many taking to social media to express their admiration for the couple.

"She looks like she still is in love with him!" one fan exclaimed. Another chimed in, "She has the feels for this dude; can't blame her, he's certainly cute!" The enthusiasm was palpable as fans gushed over Katie and Joshua's undeniable chemistry.

Their on-screen romance may have been a thing of the past, but it seems their friendship is still going strong. In an Instagram post last year, Katie gushed about working with Josh again, calling it "a testament to friendship." This time around, they're reuniting for a trilogy about love and marriage – talk about a match made in heaven!

They dated in real life too from 1998 until 1999 when they were filming the teen soaper

Katie's high-profile romance history has been the subject of tabloid headlines for decades. Before Joshua, she dated American Pie actor Chris Klein from 2000 to 2005, got engaged to him in 2003, and then shockingly married Tom Cruise just seven months after their whirlwind romance began. Their marriage ended in 2012, with Katie retaining primary custody of their adorable daughter Suri.

But what about Joshua? After his stint on Dawson's Creek, he dated actress Jodie Turner-Smith from 2019 to 2023 and was even linked to Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o. Talk about a love life as exciting as a Hollywood blockbuster!

It seems Katie's daughter Suri is growing up fast – she's already preparing for her sophomore year at Carnegie Mellon University, where she's leaning towards studying fashion. An insider revealed to thescholarlynote.com that Suri has always been a bright and mature young woman who knows exactly where she comes from.

And the googly eyes were not for a movie scene: Holmes was sizzling when the cameras were off too as they were seen on a busy sidewalk
