Katie Holmes And Joshua Jackson's Complete Relationship Timeline
But a source recently clarified that they aren't back together. The insider told Entertainment Tonight that Holmes and Jackson are 'just friends.' The source added, 'They have a special bond and love how excited fans are. Rekindling a romantic relationship is not likely.'
Ahead, the full history of their relationship.
Holmes and Jackson met in the '90s when they co-starred on the hit teen drama, Dawson's Creek. The show ran for six seasons from 1998 to 2003. Their characters, Joey Potter (Holmes) and Pacey Witter (Jackson), engaged in an on-again-off-again relationship throughout the series before finally getting married in the end.
And the actors took their romance offscreen. In a 1998 Rolling Stone interview, Holmes, then 19, alluded to her IRL relationship with Jackson, which reportedly had already ended by then. 'I had really good luck this past year, and I had a really wonderful, amazing experience,' she said. The journalist then mentioned that she has it on 'good authority' that her great dating experience was with her Dawson's Creek co-star.
'I'm just going to say that I met somebody last year,' she responded. 'I fell in love, I had my first love, and it was something so incredible and indescribable that I will treasure it always. And that I feel so fortunate because he's now one of my best friends.' She continued, 'He's been in the business so long, and he's really helped me. I respect him as a friend and as a professional.'
Jackson appeared on an episode of the Canadian talk show, George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight. In the interview, he spoke about a recent phone call he received from Holmes. 'Like any old friend, it was like, "Oh, hi, how are ya? What's going on?," "I had a kid," "Yeah, that's crazy, I heard." It was nice, it was very nice, actually.' At the time, he was in a relationship with the German actress Diane Kruger.
In an interview with The Times, Jackson spoke about his former relationship with Holmes. 'We were kids,' he said, 'so it was a full-on stars-moon-sky romance.'
He also shared that the Dawson's Creek cast have a WhatsApp group chat. 'It doesn't get a lot of use but every once in a while someone will crop up,' he said. '[In January] we passed the 25th anniversary [of the show] so there was a flurry of texts. It really centers around, "Oh my God, I can't believe that we all went through that thing together." It's obviously such a formative point in all our lives.'
Holmes was interviewed for The Times and was asked about the Dawson's Creek WhatsApp group, which she seemingly didn't know anything about. 'All of us text every now and then, but I wasn't aware of the WhatsApp,' she said. 'But you know what? I'm really bad at WhatsApp. I never check it because it's a little too much.'
But she did share that she keeps in touch with the cast 'every now and then.' She added, 'Everyone's grown up and is busy, but the bond will forever be there.'
Jackson appeared on an episode of Jesse Tyler Ferguson's podcast, Dinner's on Me. During a conversation about Dawson's Creek, Jackson revealed that he and Holmes were still 'very close.' He said, 'It's not a daily call. Sometimes it's not a weekly, or monthly, or even a half-yearly call, but when you're together...there's always that, like, I know you know.'
Holmes announced that she and Jackson were going to be working together again on a new film, Happy Hours.
'Working with Josh after so many years is a testament to friendship,' she wrote. ' HAPPY HOURS is a love story that includes so many people I adore. We can't wait for everyone to see what we make.'
Holmes is set to direct, write, and star in Happy Hours with Jackson. According to Deadline, the forthcoming trilogy is 'a story about two people (played by Holmes and Jackson) navigating their relationship within the challenges of careers and family responsibilities and the pursuit of love, despite life's inevitable obstacles. It's a character-driven dramedy that explores the emotional journey of young loves who reconnect as adults, with the connective thread of shared joys, loss, and hope.'
The rest of the cast includes Constance Wu, Mary-Louise Parker, Donald Webber Jr., and John McGinty. Production on the first of the three films is currently underway in New York.
The same day as Holmes' Instagram post, she and Jackson were spotted filming Happy Hours in NYC.
Holmes and Jackson were photographed running lines.
A source shut down offscreen dating rumors, telling Entertainment Tonight, 'Rekindling a romantic relationship is not likely. They are just friends.' The insider added, 'Josh and Katie are excited to be working together again. They have a special bond and love how excited fans are.'
They were seen shooting a scene in Washington Square Park. Jackson was pushing a stroller, possibly hinting that their characters will have a baby in Happy Hours.
The actors ventured to Brooklyn to film, and Holmes was in director mode.

Hank Hill returns to a changed world in new 'King of the Hill' episodes
NEW YORK (AP) — Hank Hill is back and he's the same ol' Hank Hill, but a lot of things around him have changed. The lovable animated hero of 'King of the Hill' has returned from a 15-year lull and he isn't sure what boba tea is, how ridesharing works and is confused by all-gender bathrooms. 'What kind of food is poke?' he asks his wife, Peggy. Hank and Peggy have returned to their hometown of Arlon, Texas — and our TV sets — but a lot has happened over the years and they're stepping into a world they doesn't always recognize. 'Hank, have things changed here more than we thought?' Peggy asks, worried, in the first new episode. 'Did we make a mistake coming back?' Hulu is definitely hoping not, reuniting many of the same writers and voice cast who turned the propane-loving, beer-sipping Hill into one of TV's few blue-collar icons. The first 10 episodes hit Hulu on Monday. A new 'King of the Hill' leader Saladin K. Patterson, the executive producer and showrunner for the new season 14, hopes the original fans will return to see how Hill copes in the modern day. 'That's always key because you want that core fan base to validate what you've done because they're like the gatekeepers in a way,' he says. 'So when they sign off and say, 'OK, they didn't mess it up, it's still the same special show,' I think other people who may be unfamiliar with it, or even on the fence, feel like, 'OK, well, now we want to like it.'' Viewers will learn that Hank and Peggy have been in Saudi Arabia all this time, where he served as 'assistant manager in charge of Arabian propane and Arabian propane accessories.' Their son Bobby, now 21, is the chef of a 'down home, German-Asian fusion' restaurant. (Sample dish: Grilled mackerel with a side of mustard pretzel.) Hank and Peggy have retired and he happily rejoins his line of friends drinking cans of beer in an alley. Boomhauer gives him a hug and Dale has grown even more paranoid, becoming 'an election-denier-denier.' Bill has let himself go, staying indoors and living off Amazon deliveries. 'I finished Netflix, Hank. Did you know that when you get to the end of Netflix, you get something called 'a wellness check?'' Viewers in the second episode hear Tom Petty's 'Runnin' Down a Dream,' a nice nod to the late rocker's embrace of the show when it first appeared. 'The writers have found that balance between the vintage 'King of the Hill' that we adore and the new — and letting them coexist,' says Pamela Adlon, who voices Bobby. Same gentle tone Creators Mike Judge, the mastermind behind 'Beavis and Butt-Head,' and Greg Daniels, who would go on to co-create 'The Office,' helped Patterson navigate this world, which they sheparded during its first 13 seasons, airing from 1997 to 2009. The show's tone maintains its gentle mocking of modern life, from hipsters and their craft ales to bike lanes. Hill at one point shakes his head over modern outdoor grills having sensors and app connections: 'I shouldn't have to call technical support to make a burger.' Patterson says the humor is grounded in real life. 'I do have a barbecue grill that is Wi-Fi- and Bluetooth-enabled. I have three devices to run it, but I'm calling tech support because I have guests coming over and the meat needs to be done,' he says. 'And I do think over the pandemic, my wife finished Netflix.' While there are changes, some things are immutable. 'Hank's still going to drink beer. Dale's still going to be a conspiracy theorist. Bill's still going to be a lovable sad sack,' says Patterson. 'Those core character things had to be the same. I had a pastor who told me one time, 'Grown folks don't change.'' Viewers will see in upcoming episodes if Hank — a happy propane seller and garage tinkerer — can really ever retire and watch as Hank's friends navigate new chapters. They'll also explore the relationship between an adult Bobby and his parents. 'He's of age now and it's really kind of cool because you see the similarities and all the attributes that he took from his parents that he wasn't even aware of when he was a boy — or didn't want to have anything to do with — and now he's using them to keep his business going and move himself forward,' says Adlon. A politics-free zone While debates have raged over where Hank Hill sits on the political spectrum, his creators argue he represents a sensible, common-sense middle. He follows the rules and does the best he can without hurting anyone. 'It's so not a Republican or a Democratic show or an independent show. It's all of that,' says Adlon. 'There's space in the world for everybody. It's hard for us all to find a safe space in a common area anymore and that's what this show really is.' And even though the new 'King of the Hill' episodes arrive during President Donald Trump's second term, don't expect any politics from Hank Hill. 'We want to tell relatable stories where people can see themselves in our characters or their family members in our characters,' says Patterson. 'There are enough cultural things and relationship things that have shifted to where he can comment on that without us wading into tariffs and immigration policy and stuff like that.'

Rod Stewart's AI-generated Ozzy Osbourne tribute featuring dead musicians leaves fans divided
Rod Stewart is catching some heat after sharing an AI-generated tribute to Ozzy Osbourne during his "One Last Time" tour. Following Osbourne's death on July 22, Stewart, 80, has been dedicating his classic hit, "Forever Young," to the late rock legend during his shows. However, his most recent tribute - which featured AI visuals of Osbourne posing with late musicians such as Michael Jackson, Prince, Tina Turner, Bob Marley, Freddie Mercury, Kurt Cobain, George Michael and Amy Winehouse - has sparked a debate among fans. Some people on social media dubbed the tribute as "tacky" and "embarrassing," with one person on X writing, "most distasteful thing I've seen." However, others have come to Stewart's defense. "If this is Rod's way of showing respect to those people that passed away that's his way. Everyone is gonna show respect their own way everyone is different everyone isn't gonna do it the same way," one fan wrote of the tribute, which was featured during his Atlanta, Georgia show on Friday. "I mean, I'm sure they didn't mean to hurt anyone, but it's just weird," another wrote. "I think it's pretty cool," someone else noted. According to Rolling Stone, at his show in Charlotte, N.C. a few days prior, Stewart ended the song, saying, "Very sad. A lot of those people died 'cause of drugs… I'm still here, though!" Stewart posted a personal tribute to the late rock legend via Instagram on the day of Osbourne's death. "Bye, bye Ozzy. I'll see you up there— later rather than sooner," he wrote. A representative for Stewart did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. One day after thousands of fans flocked to the streets of Birmingham, England to bid farewell to Osbourne, close friends and family of the legendary rock star gathered to say their final goodbye in a private ceremony. On Thursday, Ozzy - who died at 76 years old - was laid to rest in the grounds of his own mansion in Buckinghamshire, England. According to The Daily Mail, the Black Sabbath frontman desired to be buried near a lake on his 250-acre property. A huge floral tribute on the grounds of the mansion spelled out the words, 'OZZY F---ING OSBOURNE', on the banks of the Osbourne lake, according to the outlet. Osbourne's long-time guitarist Zakk Wylde, along with Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson were among the guests who attended. Metallica frontman James Hetfield and Sir Elton John were also reportedly in attendance. Last week, a procession of thousands walked the streets of Birmingham to honor the legendary rock star as the hearse and accompanying vehicles made their way to the Black Sabbath bridge and bench. Sharon Osbourne and children Jack Osbourne and Kelly Osbourne put on a united front as they arrived at the celebration of life, hand in hand. The hearse carrying Osbourne made its way down Broad Street to the Black Sabbath bench, which was unveiled on the Broad Street canal bridge in 2019. In a "Dear Ozzy" column for The Times in 2011, Osbourne shared his wishes on what he hoped his future funeral would be like after a fan asked if it was "too morbid to plan your own funeral? Or is it a thoughtful gift for your surviving relatives?" "I honestly don't care what they play at my funeral; they can put on a medley of Justin Bieber, Susan Boyle and We Are the Diddymen if it makes 'em happy," Osbourne wrote. "But I do want to make sure it's a celebration, not a mope-fest." "I'd also like some pranks: maybe the sound of knocking inside the coffin; or a video of me asking my doctor for a second opinion on his diagnosis of 'death,'" he continued. "There'll be no harping on the bad times." "So to answer your question, yes, a bit of planning is the right thing to do for the family you leave behind," he said. "It's worth remembering that a lot of people see nothing but misery their whole lives. So by any measure, most of us in this country — especially rock stars like me — are very lucky." "That's why I don't want my funeral to be sad. I want it to be a time to say 'thanks.'"
