Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson were spotted sharing a few sweet PDA moments at the ‘Dawson’s Creek’ reunion.
Holmes leaned her head on Jackson’s shoulder and the pair held hands.
The duo are also in the midst of shooting the new film Happy Hours.
For millennials, Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson were OG couple goals—at least, they were on TV. In Dawson’s Creek, the pair played Joey and Pacey, on-again-off-again teens who eventually married. In real life, the pair did date, but their relationship only lasted a short time. However, Dawson’s Creek fans are currently spiraling—because the duo were just pictured getting very close again. At the Dawson’s Creek reunion, no less. This is what our teen dreams were made of.

The Dawson’s Creek Class Reunion
Holmes and Jackson spent last night, September 22, at “The Dawson’s Creek Class Reunion,” a live reading of the show’s beloved pilot episode. The pair were joined by other Dawson’s cast members including Michelle Williams, Kerr Smith, John Wesley Shipp, Mary Margaret Humes, Meredith Monroe, Busy Philipps, Mary Beth Piel, and Nina Repeta. Lin-Manuel Miranda took over for Dawson Leery on behalf of James Van Der Beek who is currently battling colon cancer.
During the reunion, Holmes and Jackson were spotted holding hands and leaning on each other affectionately during the bows at the end of the performance.

Holmes and Jackson dated very briefly while co-starring in Dawson’s Creek back in the ’90s. Their short-lived romance ended sometime during the first season of the show in 1998.
“I fell in love, I had my first love, and it was something so incredible and indescribable that I will treasure it always,” Holmes later told Rolling Stone in response to a question about Jackson. “And that I feel so fortunate because he’s now one of my best friends. He’s been in the business so long, and he’s really helped me. I respect him as a friend and as a professional.”

Holmes and Jackson film ‘Happy Hours’ in New York City
Holmes and Jackson are also working on a new project together—Happy Hours, a romance about former sweethearts who reconnect years later. Yes, Joey and Pacey fans, I know what you’re thinking. But it’s worth noting that earlier this year, Holmes seemingly reminded fans that she and Jackson were in fact reuniting as friends and nothing more. “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,” Holmes shared in July on Instagram alongside a cute snap of the pair.
Her caption continued: “Happy Hours is a love story that includes so many people I adore. We can’t wait for everyone to see what we make.”
Chances are, their affectionate display at last night’s performance was another testament to their friendship.
