Katie Holmes lights up around ex Joshua Jackson as fans think she is 'still in love with him'
The 46-year-old actress was smiling from ear-to-ear when looking at her former Dawson's Creek cast mate; on the '90s series she played Joey and he was Pacey.
They dated in real life too from 1998 until 1999 when they were filming the teen soaper.
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.
The chemistry was palpable as they looked at each other and joked around while chatting with the crew.
Fans have gone online to remark on Holmes' bubbly mood when around her ex. 'She looks like she is still in love with him,' said one fan while another chimed in: 'She has the feels for this dude, can't blame her, he is certainly cute!' Then there was this: 'I am in love with how in love she is with Pacey.'
Another fan added: 'This dude needs to put a ring on it ASAP: Katie is the catch of the century. You won't find better.'
Katie, who has an 19-year-old daughter Suri by ex-husband Tom Cruise, wore a pale gray tank top over a black bra, dark slacks, brown boots and a pink plaid shirt tied around her waist.
The cover girl wore her hair up in interesting knots and little makeup on to show off her natural beauty.
Jackson was dressed for comfort in a black T-shirt, blue jeans and black boots.
Dawson's Creek ended in 2003 after six seasons.
They also struck up a romance off-camera, with Katie and Joshua dating during the early years of the show.
Katie told Rolling Stone in 1998: 'I'm just going to say that I met somebody last year, I fell in love, I had my first love, and it was something so incredible and indescribable.
'I feel so fortunate because he's now one of my best friends. It's weird, it's almost like a Dawson-and-Joey type thing now.
'He's been in the business so long, and he's really helped me. I respect him as a friend and as a professional.'
Recently Katie gushed about her friendship with Joshua in an Instagram post, writing: 'I am so very grateful to be working again with so many of my wonderful friends on this film HAPPY HOURS.
'And working with Josh after so many years is a testament to friendship.'
Holmes has had a high-profile love life that has made headlines for decades.
She was very serious with American Pie actor Chris Klein; the started dating in year 2000, got engaged in 2003 and broke up in 2005.
Katie started dating Tom Cruise in 2005 and got engaged to him seven weeks into the relationship.
Their wedding was held in Italy in November 2006, seven months after Suri was born.
Katie filed for divorce in 2012 and it was finalized just 10 days later, with Katie retaining primary custody of Suri while Tom was granted visitation, via People.
Tom has not been pictured with his daughter in 12 years. He now dates Ballerina actress Ana de Armas.
Jackson married actress Jodie Turner-Smith in 2019 and they divorced in 2023. He has also been linked to Lupita Nyong'o.
Katie and Joshua's new movie is a trilogy about love and marriage.
This comes just as her daughter Suri is preparing to go back to college for her sophomore year; the new school year begins on August 25.
Last year daughter Suri began college at Carnegie Mellon, after graduating from New York's famous LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts earlier this year.
The high school, which was said to have inspired the movie Fame, has churned out a formidable array of celebrities over the years.
Notable alumni range from Al Pacino and Liza Minnelli to Jennifer Aniston and Adrien Brody to newer faces like Ansel Elgort and Timothee Chalamet.
Suri is now attending the prestigious college Carnegie Mellon, where she is said to be 'leaning towards' studying fashion.
'She is a smart girl, and she is turning into a very intelligent mature young woman,' an insider recently revealed to the Daily Mail.
'She has a very close group of loyal friends, and she knows exactly where she comes from.'

Dakota Johnson's new movie takes on the ruthless world of New York Dating - but it's not your average rom-com?
Materialists Cert: 15, 1hr 56mins Matthew Bond review - Mail On Sunday Rating: The first film that screenwriter Celine Song directed as well as wrote was the delightful Past Lives (2023), which explored the choices we make in life, particularly when it comes to relationships. It earned her an Oscar nomination, critical acclaim and, for an arthouse film, commercial success. Her follow-up, Materialists, is an altogether bigger affair with a cast led by Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans and explores similar territory only without the magic and gentle spirituality of its predecessor. That's because it's set in the ruthless world of New York dating. Johnson plays Lucy, a successful senior executive at an agency that looks down its nose at apps and still believes in the old-fashioned art of match-making, at least for those who can afford it. Its demanding clients are not so much looking for love as wealth, good looks and compatible levels of education. For women, the height of a prospective husband is everything while, for men I'm afraid it's still youth. But Lucy knows it's more complicated than that, which is why she's already on her ninth successfully arranged wedding. So why is she herself still single, despite being magnificently courted by the absurdly eligible Harry (Pascal) while being shambolically pursued by her handsome but impoverished actor ex-boyfriend, John (Evans)? Song's screenplay is smart, insightful and funny, albeit in a familiar Sex And The City kind of way. So it's probably a good thing it's also bleak, cynical and occasionally depressing, at least for balance. Johnson is excellent, the ubiquitous Pascal as charming as ever and Evans just a little bit too good to be true. Materialists lacks the emotional depth of Past Lives but it's well-made, watchable and will make you think. And possibly hope, too. Laruskha Ivan-Zadeh - Daily Mail review Rating: Do soul mates exist? That question unites the week's two biggest releases, which answer it in two, very different ways. Materialists is a movie about beautiful people chasing the perfect partner. Lucy (Dakota Johnson) reckons she's got it all worked out. She's a professional matchmaker in Manhattan, responsible for nine weddings and counting, who firmly believes that 'Marriage is a business deal, and always has been, since time eternal.' Commitment is not about love, it's about currency, market forces and 'math', with Lucy's personal 'non-negotiable' being that, as well as being tall and handsome with a full head of hair (be warned, this movie is not an ego-boost for shorter, bald men), her future husband will be eye-wateringly rich. Enter hunk-of-the-moment Pedro Pascal, a tall, handsome, hirsute moneybags with a $12million penthouse in Tribeca. However, this being a (sort of) romcom, also re-enter Lucy's ex, John (Chris Evans), a tall, handsome struggling theatre actor, with a head full of hair, but empty coffers, who Lucy broke up with because he was, er, broke. So, who will win her hand? The answer isn't as obvious as might first appear. Because this isn't cheese puff Hollywood escapism of the glossy sort that Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey popped out in the 2000s – it is the 'difficult' second feature from writer /director Celine Song, whose wistful romance Past Lives was arguably the finest film of 2023. Materialists is similarly based on authentic lived experience. Song worked as a matchmaker when she first came to New York, and her script here poses interesting questions most of us can relate to about the balance sheet between romance and rationalism. Bottom line: are you really going to make it long term with someone of different background and values, particularly if you always end up squabbling about money? Unfortunately, the Materialists' parts are better than its whole. Excellent and effortless as the three leads are, their dialogue can feel forced. Sometimes it's deliberate, like when Pascal's smoothy-chops woos Lucy with the line: 'I want to be with you for your immaterial assets.' But other times not. It is occasionally very witty and well-observed. Song has set out to deconstruct the romcom, but the way she reconstructs it proves kind of disappointing. As we wait to find out if love conquers all, you will likely feel unconvinced by where the happy ending lies.

Judge rules Alex Jones' Infowars to be sold once again, paving way for The Onion to renew its bid
Months after conspiracy theorist Alex Jones mocked The Onion after the satirical news outlet's proposed purchase Jones' Infowars was rejected by a federal bankruptcy court, a state judge ruled this week that the far-right platform can once again be sold – clearing the way for The Onion to resurrect its bid. In a Wednesday hearing in Texas district court, Judge Maya Guerra Gamble ordered the assets of Infowars' parent company Free Speech systems to be handed over to a court-appointed receiver, who will then start the process of selling them off in order to pay the roughly $1.3 billion that Jones owes the families of the Sandy Hook shooting victims. The families, who have spent nearly three years attempting to collect on the judgment in federal bankruptcy court, were awarded the damages over Jones' repeated false and baseless claims that the Sandy Hook shooting was a 'hoax' and that the children killed were crisis actors. Last year, The Onion – backed by the Sandy Hook families – had won a court-ordered auction to purchase Infowars, with plans to turn the far-right conspiracy outlet into a parody site that would mock the conservative media ecosphere. Additionally, The Onion said that it planned on entering into an advertising agreement with gun-control advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety. That sale was blocked in December, however, after a federal bankruptcy judge ruled that the acquisition was flawed and that he would not approve the sale, citing issues regarding the transparency of the process. That allowed Jones to keep Infowars for the time being – and he celebrated on-air by using music from Star Wars to mock The 'We are deeply disappointed in today's decision, but The Onion will continue to seek a resolution that helps the Sandy Hook families receive a positive outcome for the horror they endured,' Ben Collins, CEO of The Onion's parent company Global Tetrahedron, said after the December ruling. A giddy Jones, meanwhile, read Collins' statement on his show at the time alongside the 'Imperial March' from The Empire Strikes Back. 'I told you guys. We weren't going down,' Jones boasted. While halting the sale to The Onion, the federal bankruptcy judge suggested to the Sandy Hook families that they should go take their case to state court to get what they're owed from Jones, of which he has yet to pay a dime. And now, according to Gamble's ruling, it appears that Jones could soon be locked out of the Infowars studios. According to Wednesday's order, the receiver has the power 'to collect all accounts receivable… change the locks to all premises at which any property is situated… access all storage facilities, safe-deposit boxes, [and] real property… and exercise control over any website [of Jones].' Additionally, the receiver can turn to local law enforcement for help 'carrying out his duties and exercising his powers.' Unsurprisingly, Jones was not happy about the ruling. 'I'm pretty p*ssed off and wound up,' he grumbled on Wednesday's broadcast, telling his viewers: 'This fight is your fight.' Attorneys for the families, meanwhile, said that the judge's order was a 'critically important step closer to achieving the goal' of 'holding Alex Jones accountable for years of harm,' specifically noting that it could finally lead to Infowars shuttering for good. 'The receiver is now authorized to liquidate his business assets, and we look forward to the corrupt media empire that Jones built finally being dismantled,' attorney Chris Mattei, who represents the Connecticut-based families, told NPR. 'The families are pleased that the court has placed InfoWars parent company into receivership, which will finally lead to accountability for Alex Jones' monstrously cruel harassment," Mark Bankston, another lawyer for the families, stated. As for the likelihood that The Onion can finally complete its purchase of Infowars now that it's in a receivership, legal experts said that it may not be a 'panacea' but the conditions are now more 'favorable' for a sale. 'From a creditor's point of view, you're most often better off under state law … because the state court may be able to operate with greater speed and flexibility…[and fewer] constraints than the bankruptcy judge has to deal with,' Larry Ponoroff, dean and professor emeritus at Tulane Law School, told NPR. Reached for comment, Collins told The Independent that while he wasn't at liberty to fully discuss the situation right now, he could say that 'we're working on it.' Throughout this entire process, Jones has also insisted that even if the Infowars brand and property are taken from him, he will continue to stay on the air by stating another company. Still, because a bankruptcy judge ruled his behavior 'willful and malicious,' the families could continue to make claims on any money Jones makes in the future through other business ventures. In June, Jones was accused by the trustee overseeing his personal bankruptcy of trying to shield assets of more than $5 million to avoid paying on the Sandy Hook judgment. This included allegations that Jones fraudulently transferred $1.5 million to his wife, $800,000 to his father and attempted to hide his ownership of two condominiums with a combined value of $1.5 million.

Soccer fans tear into 'soft' USMNT star Christian Pulisic as he defends controversial decision
Stateside soccer fans have turned on USMNT hero Christian Pulisic for his 'soft' attitude after the AC Milan star hit back at his critics. The midfielder sparked backlash earlier this year when he ruled himself out of Mauricio Pochettino 's USMNT squad for this summer's Gold Cup action after a long campaign in Italy with Milan. And, in a new nine-episode documentary following his career on Paramount+, the former Chelsea winger defended his decision - much to the ire of American soccer fans. 'It is a lot. it's hard to keep up with playing every single game,' Pulisic said. 'I mean, you see a ton of injuries. But this is how it is. This is the business. People want to see us play. 'I think it's just a decision I had to come to to do the best thing for myself and to look out for myself for once. But I think everyone has had their opinion on me and, in my opinion, just disrespected me in a lot of ways and just completely forgotten about what I've done for this national team for 10 years. It sucks.' However, after the snippet of the documentary was shared to social media, American soccer fans ripped into the 26-year-old for his 'soft' stance as they accused him of painting himself as the victim. I can't anymore. The whining, the entitlement, the poor-me theatrics. Yes of course you live under a microscope. You're the country's best player. And compared to every other ⚽️ country, you have it so easy. — 11 Yanks (@11Yanks) August 14, 2025 'Interesting psychological insight into the victim complex that society and education has created in the last decade,' one fan wrote on social media. 'Pulisic is the least charismatic athlete I think l've ever seen. How anyone thought it was a good idea to film a documentary for a midtable player in Italy I'll never know,' another slammed in response to the clip on X. 'Every time Pulisic talks he makes it worse, the entitlement and whininess makes him very unlikable,' a third fan critiqued. 'I hope he turns this around, ultimately the 2026 World Cup with the USMNT will be his opportunity on the field, even so... the damage has been done off the field.' 'I can't anymore. The whining, the entitlement, the poor-me theatrics,' one frustrated soccer supporter fumed. 'Yes of course you live under a microscope. You're the country's best player. And compared to every other (soccer) country, you have it so easy.' Others believed that hitting back at the critics of his decision was the worst possible move Pulisic could have made. 'this is the worst thing he could've done,' one claimed. 'this doc doing nothing but showing how entitled he is and how him and everyone around him. makes him a victim.' 'Christian Pulisic is by far & away the most insufferable athlete l've ever been forced to support. This (clown) continues to make himself look worse in the media by playing the victim at every possible juncture,' another agreed. 'There's always an excuse for this guy under-delivering + failing.' 'The USMNT captain shouldn't be soft. The team is cooked as long as their captain acts like this,' a third warned just one year our from the World Cup. Fans ripped into the 26-year-old after he tried to defend his decision in a new documentary '@pulisic bad looks all around. People used to respect you,' another claimed, while one chimed in: 'Clown show. Nobody feels bad for you Christian.' The criticism of Pulisic hasn't been limited to America's fanbase with former USMNT stars and legends also taking issue with his decision to sit out of the Gold Cup. Ahead of the tournament, US soccer icon Landon Donovan, without naming names, took a jab at Pulisic and other USMNT key figures who excused themselves from Pochettino's roster. 'I can't help but think about some of our guys on vacation, not wanting to play in the Gold Cup. It's pissing me off,' the former Everton forward said. Another player turned pundit, Alexi Lalas, also piled on Pulisic on the 'Call It What You Want' podcast on the Golazo Network 'You can talk about my performances, whatever you want, but to question my commitment, especially towards the national team, in my opinion that's way out of line,' Lalas said. Yet, Pulisic took a swipe at the legends during his documentary, branding their comments a 'cop-out'. 'I'd say the most annoying thing, and for me, the biggest cop-out of all time, is when, especially, you know, all pundits want to say: 'They didn't want it. They didn't have the heart, you know, back in our day, we would fight and we would die on that field,'' Pulisic said in the eighth episode of the docuseries, which was filmed earlier this summer. His international teammate Tim Weah backed Pulisic as he hit out at the 'evil' analysts. 'Those guys are chasing checks, and for me, I just feel like they're really evil, honestly, because they've been players, and they know what it's like when you're getting bashed,' Weah said. 'Those are the same guys that will turn around and shake your hand and try to be friendly with you.' Pochettino and the USMNT are entering a critical year as they gear up for the World Cup on home soil next year.
