Joshua Jackson sparks romance rumors with Bridgerton star Simone Ashley
The 47-year-old Dawson's Creek star was pictured strolling with the 30-year-old Bridgerton actress on Saturday in New York City.
Jackson and Ashley were spending time together two years after his divorce from Jodie Turner-Smith, with whom he has a five-year-old daughter, Juno with.
Ashley's last relationship was more recent, as she revealed in February of this year that she and Constantin Klein had split after nearly three years together.
Her meet-up with Jackson was particularly intriguing, as it appears to be the first time the two have been pictured together.
For his outing with Ashley, the actor looked ultra-casual look in a plain white T-shirt paired with relaxed gray pants, paired with dark-green Nike trainers with orange accents.
Ashley looked cool and collected in a gray satin crop top with a white lace border, which she paired with a gray midi skirt which featured a scale-like pattern.
She added a splash of color with a large yellow mesh bag, and completed her low-key ensemble with chunky white trainers and slim tortoiseshell cat-eye sunglasses.
Both beamed at various points along their route but neither actor displayed any form of PDA.
The actress is best known for her role as Kate, Viscountess Bridgerton, who enters the historical romance after moving to England from India.
The actress, who was born in England to Indiana Tamil parents, is also known for starring in another Netflix series, Sex Education.
Her past roles have included supporting parts on TV series such as Broadchurch and The Sister, but Ashley has lately been establishing herself as an in-demand film star.
After small parts in Detective Pikachu and Disney's live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, Ashley scored a cameo as herself in Brad Pitt's racing drama F1, and she has been spotted filming an unspecified part in The Devil Wears Prada 2 recently.
Jackson was previously married to actress and model Jodie Turner-Smith from 2019 until late 2023.
The former couple met in October 2018 at Usher's birthday party and are believed to have begun dating shortly afterward.
Their whirlwind romance happened out of the spotlight, as it was revealed in late December 2019 that the lovebirds had already wed.
Then, in January of 2020, it was revealed that they were expecting their first child after Turner-Smith was seen with a baby bump in public. On April 21, 2020, their daughter Juno was born.
The couple seemed to have an ideal marriage, and they rarely missed the opportunity to praise each other in interviews in the first years of their marriage.
It was therefore a shock to fans when Turner-Smith filed for divorce in October of 2023.

Influencer who was part of a death hoax at 14 challenges OnlyFans sensation Sophie Rain to $60 million boxing match
Controversial influencer Lil Tay has challenged OnlyFans star Sophie Rain to a $60 million boxing match a week after she made her debut on the adult content platform. Lil Tay, 18, shared a fiery post targeting the 20-year-old Bop House founder and OnlyFans top earner on Tuesday. 'Sophie Rain, $60 million is what I have for you to fight me in a boxing match,' Lil Tay, who became an internet sensation when she was just nine years old, said in the clip shared with her 5.8 million Instagram followers. 'You're about that money, right? Well this is more money than you've ever made off that crusty, dusty, boomer a** life. So put on the gloves and fight me.' Lil Tay went on to say this prospective fight would be a chance for Rain to meet her 'idol in the ring.' 'And don't pretend you're above it all just because you're scared I'm gonna beat the brakes off of you,' she rambled on. 'I'm ready for you. I've been training, I've been doing spicy boxing training sessions, workouts .' She added she was going to tell her manager and lawyers to draft up a contract about getting her and Rain in the ring. View this post on Instagram A post shared by LIL TAY (@liltay) Lil Tay captioned the post, stating that Rain has '24 hours to reply.' Rain does not appear to have responded to the proposition yet. The self-proclaimed 'youngest flexer of the century' issued this message to Rain after Tay tore the internet to shreds by launching an OnlyFans on her 18th birthday. Within the first three hours of her adult content page being active, she earned more than $1 million from subscribers. Many of her fans were unsettled by this development, as she has been in the spotlight since she was a little girl. Lil Tay was infamously involved in a death hoax scandal when she was just 14 years old. Around June 2018, Lil Tay took an abrupt social media hiatus that lasted about five years. In August 2023, Lil Tay, whose real name is Claire Hope, and her brother Jason, then 21 years old, were declared 'dead' in an out-of-the-blue Instagram statement. But a month later, the cash-flaunting child rapper re-emerged and claimed her 'abusive' father was behind the sinister scheme. 'My abusive racist misogynistic woman beating father faked my death,' she bluntly asserted at the time. While it is unconfirmed what truly transpired, Lil Tay's rocky relationship with her parents - especially her father, Christopher Hope - had been a major chapter of the young woman's career. Recently, Lil Tay has found herself at the center of attention once again - this time for her OnlyFans pursuits. On the day she turned 18, she claimed the content was taken at exactly 12:01am, calling it 'freshly 18' content and adding in her bio: 'Please don't tell my mom.' But before the clock struck 12 on her birthday, she had already started buzz with her plans, advertising that she was launching the account online. It is likely she specially targeted Rain in her Tuesday boxing match proposal because she and members of the Bop House - which is a house full OnlyFans creators - had allegedly been claiming Lil Tay was trying to join. Lil Tay has vocally disputed these claims, even showing off a screenshot of the Bop House TikTok page actually reaching out to her to 'audition.' Adding another layer to the matter, Rain - who rapidly climbed to fame for earning $43 million on the platform in one year - has recently left the Bop House amid an alleged feud with another member, Camilla Araujo, 23, who announced she was also leaving the house about a week after. As Rain departed the Bop House, rumors emerged that she may be quitting OnlyFans altogether. In a video she shared on TikTok on July 22, she wrote 'Day 1 of me being retired' and showed herself sitting in a grassy field. She also said she purchased a farm with her staggering OnlyFans earnings. But after Lil Tay launched her account and received a jaw-dropping among of overnight success, Rain seemingly posted a TikTok directed at the OnlyFans newcomer. 'Me coming out of retirement after hearing someone is claiming to make more than me,' Rain wrote in a TikTok shared on Monday.

Diana Ross, 81, sparks health fears as she's forced to pull out of cruise ship performance
has sparked concerns for her health as she is forced to pull out of her upcoming performance for Royal Caribbean's Star of the Sea's showcase cruise. The 81-year-old Baby Love songstress - who recently opened up the Henley Festival last month - was slated to kick off the three-day journey on August 20 after being named 'godmother' of the massive ship. However, the star's representative said in a statement to People on Tuesday, 'Due to unforeseen circumstances, Diana Ross will be unable to appear'. An exact reason for the sudden absence was not given, but Diana is still set to begin her Beautiful Love tour in the U.S. on August 16. A spokesperson for the cruise line issued a statement as well and expressed, 'We are disappointed that Diana Ross is unable to join us to be godmother of Star of the Seas.' They continued that there are plans to announce a 'new godmother' of the ship 'soon'. A few months earlier in June, Royal Caribbean announced that the singer had been named godmother of the Icon Class ship. She had been set to to take to the stage to celebrate the new cruise that will embark from Port Canaveral in Orlando, Florida and head to Perfect Day at CocoBay in the Bahamas. To commemorate the debut of the latest Royal Caribbean ship, Diana would have also taken part in a special naming ceremony with guests. 'I am truly honored to join the Royal Caribbean family,' the Wiz actress expressed in a press release at the time, per PR Newswire. 'Having spent years of creating beautiful music and memories and bringing people together from all over the world, this feels like a perfect continuation of my journey as godmother of Star of the Seas'. The president and CEO of the cruise line, Michael Bayley, had also stated that the company was 'thrilled' to have the iconic singer ring in the debut of the Star of the Seas ship. 'We couldn't imagine a more fitting godmother for Star than Diana Ross, who is a true icon known for creating music that transcends generations while celebrating life and bringing people together...' While Diana will no longer take part in the showcase cruise, she is still set to begin her U.S. tour later this month on August 16 in Saratoga, California. The star - who is also known for being a member of The Supremes - will make stops in other cities such as Atlantic City, St. Louis, Newark and Lincoln. The Beautiful Love tour will officially conclude later this year in Palm Springs on December 13. Over the past weekend on Sunday, she shared the U.S. dates to her fans on Instagram and penned, 'It's good to be back home. 'The Beautiful Love Tour is coming to cities across the U.S. for unforgettable nights filled with music, memories, and joy'. The I'm Coming Out hitmaker added, 'The tour starts a week from today, on August 16th, at the @mountainwinery in Saratoga, CA. Come join the love celebration.' During a recent interview with People in June, Diana opened up about her family life and how she has been prioritizing her health. When asked what she has been 'up to these days,' the performer replied, 'Health and well-being'. Diana continued, 'And my family is equally everything to me. I like staying busy. Because I love what I do, it keeps me grounded. I'm swimming a lot lately to stay flexible. 'I must get my sleep which is important to me. I do my best to eat well, but I do like Häagen-Dazs ice cream'. In regards to aging and feeling good in her 80s, the star expressed, 'The love of what I do keeps me grounded, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. When you can't find the sunshine be the sunshine...' Diana then added, 'I have been very blessed in my life. I love what I do. I love my family. I love my life. I'm a happy person'. The singer also revealed that she had asked her family to join her on the Royal Caribbean cruise before she pulled out of her performance. She is notably the mother of five children - including Evan Ross who is married to Ashlee Simpson - and the grandmother of eight. Diana gained recognition as a former member of The Supremes - one of the world's best-selling girl groups of all time. Over the years, especially throughout the 60s, they dropped a number of hit tracks such as You Can't Hurry Love and Where Did Our Love Go. In 1970, she left the group to launch her own successful solo career in the music industry and would go on to release hits including Endless Love, Ain't No Mountain High Enough and Chain Reaction. Diana has garnered 13 Grammy nominations and received the Lifetime Achievement Award twice - once for herself in 2012 and then later in 2023 as a member of The Supremes.

I was wrong about Tammy. I said you were a fool - but you've played us all... if Matt knew the REAL story about your footy fling, he'd lock himself up in a monastery forever: AMANDA GOFF
I'll admit it: I got it wrong about Tammy Hembrow. When she sprinted down the aisle with Love Island's Matt Zukowski last year, after just four months of dating, I thought she'd well and truly lost the plot.
