Unfold the morning's gentle light and delve into the news revolving around Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson. The duo, who enchanted audiences as the lovebirds Joey and Pacey in Dawson's Creek and even dated in real life during the '90s, has once again sparked the internet's curiosity after Katie's several social media likes that hinted at their relationship status.
Under her April 16 Instagram post, a promotional photo for their film Happy Hours showing Katie with her arms around Joshua, a fan wrote, "Wish this was a hard launch," while another noted the pair "should be a couple"—both of which received a heart from Katie. However, these weren't the only comments that caught the Jack and Jill actress' eye. After all, she also liked comments specifically celebrating their on-screen reunion. "Love this!!" read another comment, while a separate user added, "Two good-looking people."
In the post's caption, Katie, 47, expressed her excitement to return to the screen with Joshua, also 47, more than 20 years after they played teenage lovebirds on Dawson's Creek. "We are thrilled to be a part of the Tribeca Film Festival this June with our film Happy Hours," wrote Katie, who shares daughter Suri Cruise, 20, with ex-husband Tom Cruise. "So many beautiful people worked on this project. And working with Josh again was a dream."
Recently, Joshua—dad to daughter Juno, 6, with ex-wife Jodie Turner-Smith—touched on his and Katie's decades-long bond. "She's a lifelong friend now," Joshua said during a March 10 interview on Today. "And for us to get to go back and be able to do this again and honestly for her to create that space for us, was kind of magical."
In the film, Joshua and Katie play a couple who dated as teens and explore the possibility of a rekindled romance when they reconnect years later. For the Mighty Ducks alum, he's excited for fans to see Katie's vision come to life. "She wrote this beautiful love story in three parts," Joshua explained of the project directed, starring, and written by Katie. "And we got to do that last summer which was so much fun." Keeping his fingers crossed for the film to evolve into a trilogy, he added, "Hopefully, we'll get a chance to make the other two."
