Katie Holmes And Joshua Jackson Are Back Together After 22 Years – And Fans Are Obsessed
The news that Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson are working together again, 22 years after the final episode of Dawson's Creek , has sent fans on a nostalgia trip. The pair are teaming up for Katie's new film Happy Hours, which she is writing, directing and starring. Joshua has joined the cast alongside Mary-Louise Parker, Constance Wu, Joe Tippett, John McGinty, Donald Webber Jr, Nathan Darrow, Johanna Dias-Watson and Jack Martin. The film follows two people, played by Katie and Joshua, and their relationship as they navigate the challenges of their careers, family responsibilities and the pursuit of love. It's billed as a character-driven dramedy exploring the emotional journey of young loves who reconnect again as adults. Of course, those who have followed Katie and Joshua's careers and know that they dated during Dawson's Creek 's run in the late '90s, will think the plot sounds rather familiar. 'I am so very grateful to be working again with so many wonderful friends on this film Happy Hours ,' Katie announced. 'And working with Josh after so many years is a testament to friendship. Happy Hours is a love story that includes so many people I adore. We can't wait for everyone to see what we make.' Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson on the set of Happy Hour on 21 July.

The two actors dated for a year during the early days of Dawson's Creek between 1998 and 1999 and continued working together until 2003. Katie has described Joshua as her first love.

Her relationship with musician Bobby Wooten III ended in December 2022 after eight months of dating. Prior to this, she was seeing chef Emilio Vitolo Jr in 2020. Of course, Katie's most notable relationship was with Tom Cruise, with whom she shares her daughter Suri. They married in 2006 and divorced in 2012. After this relationship, Katie was with actor Jamie Foxx for six years. Meanwhile, Joshua was married to British actress Jodie Turner-Smith between 2019 and 2023 and they welcomed a daughter in 2020. In December 2023, it was announced that Joshua was dating Lupita Nyong'o but the relationship ended the following October. Prior to this, Joshua was in a 10 year relationship with German actress Diane Kruger between 2006 and 2016. It is thought that he is currently single. All of this information is enough for Dawson's Creek fans to think it's time to buy a hat. 'Kids nowadays will never know the history makers Joshua Jackson and Katie Holmes were. Their chemistry was so organic, real, palpable that the writers changed the storyline and wrote them as endgame despite that never being the plan,' reads on post on X. Another fan wrote, 'Katie Holmes literally said I am writing, directing and starring in my own movie trilogy this is so important. Who is the one person on this EARTH I will have the most chemistry possible with? And immediately called Joshua Jackson. Sick I am sick.' 'Joshua Jackson and Katie Holmes filming together 20 years later I've prayed for times like these,' joked a third X user. 'When this becomes my entire personality don't even judge me.' A fourth picked up on the parallels between the plot and real life. 'Katie Holmes wrote a romcom about young lovers falling in love again as adults and the first person she thought to cast as the male lead was Joshua Jackson and unfortunately I will have to deal with this devastating information for the rest of my life.'

Liam Payne pays boyband HUGE compliment before making awkward gaffe in new episode of Netflix's Building The Band
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BUILDING The Band judge Liam Payne doesn't hold back in love-bombing a boyband on the show that remind him of the early days of One Direction. In the new episode of the Netflix talent contest, which drops today, the late singer is seen talking to group Midnight 'Til Morning, first in a workshop then after their performance on stage. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Mentor Liam Payne on Netflix show Building The Band Credit: Unpixs He tells them: 'It was really nice to spend a bit of time with you guys earlier on. 'I've got a very big soft spot for you boys, you remind me a lot of what we were like. 'Don't let me down – boybands!' Liam also seems to have quite a bit of faith in them, as he shares some tips on how to work crowds in stadiums should they ever get the same level of career as his One Direction did. He tells them: 'When you're in a stadium you can see the front rows of people but everything else becomes one big crowd, so you're trying to move a section of the crowd, not just one person, so everything's got to be quite big.' His gushing is reciprocated when one of the boyband members tells Liam: 'We all looked up to you boys so much and we want to be that next band. 'You guys kind of shied away from that Nineties boyband thing.' Then he suddenly realises he's standing next to host AJ McLean, who famously sang with arguably the biggest boyband of the Nineties, Backstreet Boys. Awkward.

The two actors, who played Joey and Pacey on the cult teen drama, were all smiles as they were reunited on the New York City set of their new film Happy Hour. For five years from 1998, young viewers on both sides of the Atlantic were gripped by the intertwined romances among the strangely deep and mature adolescents that resided in the fictional town of Capeside, Massachusetts. After the show ended, the cast went their different ways and had very different life experiences. Katie married Tom Cruise, while Michelle Williams starred in Brokeback Mountain and started dating its star, the late Heath Ledger. Meanwhile, Joshua has arguably enjoyed something of a later life renaissance in his career, starring in TV shows including The Affair and Doctor Odyssey. 5 Keeley Hawes, who plays a hitwoman, gives her son, played by Freddie Highmore, a deadly lesson in an exclusive shot from Prime Video thriller The Assassin Credit: Des Willie It's normally delightful to see a mother teaching her child new skills, but in the case of one new Prime Video thriller, it's more spine-chilling. This exclusive image from The Assassin shows Keeley Hawes, who plays a hitwoman, delivering a crash course in using a gun to her son, played by Freddie Highmore. And anyone who sees the first, bloody three minutes of the show – which drops on Friday – will understand why it's probably for the best. Troy's antique passion 5 Troy Deeney reveals he became an Antiques Roadshow fan while serving time in prison Credit: Getty The Antiques Roadshow has an unlikely fan in former Premier League bad boy Troy Deeney. The ex-Watford ace turned broadcaster says he got hooked on the long-running BBC series in the most unlikely of places – prison. Deeney, who will soon be appearing in Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, said watching the show helped him pass the time while he was serving three months for affray before he made it big in football. He said: 'I was a little bit naughty at one point and basically when I was in jail, I had a lot of time watching Antiques Roadshow. 'I'd watch Antiques Roadshow and that one [Bargain Hunt] as well where they used to run round and buy things and then try to sell it. 'These couples had grafted all day and they'd got 90 quid and they're like 'Yes, we won'. 'It was a bit sad, but it got me through a lot of jail time.' I doubt anyone would be brave enough to mock him. Football play Dear England, which is being turned into a TV drama, will soon return to the stage with a national tour. It will star former EastEnder Samantha Womack opposite David Sturzaker as Gareth Southgate. It kicks off on September 15 in Plymouth.

Happy Hours is set to follow two people (Holmes and Jackson) who are navigating their relationship while also juggling their careers, families, and love. Per Deadline, the film is "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." It's worth noting that while also starring on Dawson's Creek together for six seasons from 1998 to 2003, Katie and Josh also reportedly dated for about a year early in the show's run. When asked about their relationship in a 1998 interview with Rolling Stone, Katie said, "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 that I will treasure it always." Then, in 2003, Joshua publicly talked about their relationship, telling Conan O'Brien, "In the very beginning Katie and I did have a romance." Earlier this year, while appearing on Jesse Tyler Ferguson's Dinner's on Me podcast, Joshua opened up about his friendships with his Dawson's Creek costars, including Katie, saying, "Busy [Philipps] and Michelle [Williams] are very, very close. And Katie and I are very close. 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, A, there's always that, like, I know you know." He continued, "And B, there is, you know, these moments, like, these major moments in life are, like, other than your husband, there's probably no other people in your life that you are that forged to. Because you had to go through good and bad, and happy and fuck you, and dont talk to me, and I love you." Shortly after news of her new film trilogy broke, Katie posted on Instagram about the project, 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. HAPPY HOURS is a love story that includes so many people I adore. We can't wait for everyone to see what we make." Busy, who starred on Dawson's Creek for two seasons as Audrey Liddell, commented on the post as well, sharing her excitement: And, just like Busy, fans — including myself — took to X, formerly Twitter, and Instagram to share their excitement over Katie and Joshua reuniting for this new romance trilogy.
