Katie Holmes and her ex-boyfriend Joshua Jackson put on a loved-up display while filming their upcoming trilogy Happy Hours.

Taking to the streets of New York City on Friday, the former Dawson’s Creek co-stars beamed at each other as they reunited.

Katie, 46, flashed her megawatt smile while Joshua, 47, lovingly wrapped an arm around her neck while pushing a stroller.

Dressed in character, the brunette beauty — who dated Joshua early during the filming of Dawson’s Creek between 1998 and 1999 — wore a pair of black slacks, floral patterned sleeveless white blouse, and black ballet flats.

She tied a light blue denim shirt around her hips and toted a black purse over her shoulder.

For his part, the Doctor Odyssey star sported a button-up chambray shirt and dark trousers.

The duo, who starred as Joey Potter (Katie) and Pacey Witter (Joshua) on Dawson’s Creek more than two decades ago, sent fans into a frenzy on Monday as they reunited in Manhattan to begin shooting.

It came after Katie gushed about her friendship with Joshua in an Instagram post, 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.’

The pair portrayed former lovers who cross paths years later and rekindle their romance in the popular American teen soap, which ended in 2003 after six seasons.

They also struck up a romance off-camera, with Katie and Joshua dating during the early years of the show.

Katie told Rolling Stone in 1998: ‘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.

‘I feel so fortunate because he’s now one of my best friends. It’s weird, it’s almost like a Dawson-and-Joey type thing now.’

‘He’s been in the business so long, and he’s really helped me. I respect him as a friend and as a professional.’

After their split, Jackson later married actress Jodie Turner-Smith in 2019. They divorced in 2023. Meanwhile Holmes was married to Tom Cruise from 2006 to 2012.

After the pair reunited this week, fans and celebrity friends alike took to Instagram to express their delight.
