Old flames reignited between Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson?

Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson spark romance rumours on their film set, but friends warn his past may repeat itself.

Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson are once again making headlines, decades after their first romance. The pair, who first sparked dating rumours during the late 1990s while co-starring in Dawson’s Creek, have reportedly grown close again while working together on their new movie Happy Hour. According to multiple reports, including RadarOnline and Reality Tea, Holmes has described Jackson as “appealing” and has been seen enjoying his company both on and off set.

This rekindled connection has stirred nostalgia for fans of their teen drama era, but not everyone is celebrating. Sources close to Holmes have reportedly voiced concerns about Jackson’s reputation for commitment issues. Friends have allegedly warned that while he remains fun-loving and charismatic, he may not be ready to settle down, raising fears of potential heartache for Holmes. One insider noted that Jackson “still wants it both ways,” pointing to recent sightings of him with other women.

Despite these concerns, Holmes is said to be embracing her time with Jackson, with insiders claiming that reuniting with her first love feels like “the kind of ending she’s always wanted.” Reports also suggest that Jackson has been attentive towards Holmes’ daughter Suri, whom she shares with her ex-husband Tom Cruise, further deepening her fondness for him.

The speculation has ignited social media debate, with fans divided over whether the reunion is a second chance at lasting love or a repeat of old patterns. While some cheer the idea of two former co-stars turning their youthful romance into something real years later, others echo the anxieties of Holmes’ inner circle, worrying history may repeat itself.

For now, neither Holmes nor Jackson has publicly confirmed the nature of their relationship. Whether this is simply a close friendship forged on set or the revival of one of Hollywood’s favourite on-screen pairings remains unclear. What is certain is that their chemistry, both past and present, has reignited fascination with a story that began nearly three decades ago.
