Remember me
Katie Holmes is seemingly well aware fans want her to rekindle her romance with ex Joshua Jackson.
“We are so thrilled to be a part of the Tribeca Film Festival this June with our film Happy Hours,” Holmes, 47, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, April 16, alongside a photo of her and Jackson, also 47. “So many beautiful people worked on this project. And working with Josh again was a dream.”
In the snap, Holmes and Jackson, who previously played love interests on Dawson’s Creek and dated in real life during season 1 of the series, could be seen embracing in the photo.
Several fans of the pair quickly took to the comments section to gush over how great it was to see the exes together again, while others shared their hopes the twosome would get back together.
Fans are thrilled that Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson are back together again — even if it’s just for a movie. The pair were spotted filming the upcoming trilogy Happy Hours together in New York City on July 21. Jackson was wearing a green button-top shirt while Holmes wore a pink flannel over black pants.

Holmes raised eyebrows by tossing multiple likes on messages referencing her past romance with Jackson.
“Could you be anymore gorgeous together 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️,” one user wrote, which Holmes liked, while another read, “My favorite couple of all time can wait to see you new film🔥.”
Holmes also liked a response that read, “They should be a couple.”
Another fan joked they wished “this was a hard launch,” which also earned a like from Holmes.
Holmes and Jackson portrayed Joey Potter and Pacey Witter from 1998 to 2003 on the beloved WB series, dating during season 1 from 1998 to 1999, two seasons before their characters got together on screen.
“Katie and I did have a romance. Which is ancient history now, but I can’t tell you how much fun it is to have an actual romance, and then we broke up, and then a year later to have an onscreen romance,” Jackson said during a 2006 appearance on Late Night With Conan O’Brien. “Because there’s nothing more fun than going to work with your ex-girlfriend every day.”
