Joshua Jackson may have a new summer romance on his hands.
The ‘Dawson’s Creek’ alum sparked dating buzz after he was seen holding hands with model Olivia Burgess in New York City on June 7. The pair walked through downtown Manhattan before stopping for drinks at il Buco, a cozy celebrity-favorite spot.
Jackson, 44, looked relaxed during the outing. Burgess, a model and 2015 Fordham University graduate, appeared equally comfortable by his side.
Joshua Jackson Steps Out With Olivia Burgess
Jackson wore an all-white linen look for the city stroll. Burgess kept things polished in gray Bermuda shorts, a black top and leather split-toe mules.
The two were seen walking through Soho, and the hand-holding naturally got people talking. Nothing says “maybe more than friends” quite like a casual New York walk with fingers linked.
Burgess has worked with major fashion names, including Jean Paul Gaultier. Her outing with Jackson now puts her firmly on the celebrity-watch radar.
Jackson’s Dating Life Has Stayed In The Spotlight
Jackson shares 6-year-old daughter Juno with ex-wife Jodie Turner-Smith. Since their split, his romantic life has continued to draw interest.
He was previously linked to Lupita Nyong’o after the two shared a year-long romance. In 2025, he was also linked to ‘Bridgerton’ star Simone Ashley.
Now, Burgess appears to be the new name fans are watching.
Still, Jackson has not publicly confirmed a relationship. For now, the Soho sighting is doing the heavy lifting.
Katie Holmes Reunion Is Also Coming
Jackson also has another major reunion on the way, but this one is strictly professional.
He and Katie Holmes, his former ‘Dawson’s Creek’ co-star, are set to reunite on screen in the upcoming film ‘Happy Hours.’ Their characters, Pacey and Joey, remain one of teen TV’s most beloved couples.
During a March 10 appearance on ‘Today,’ Jackson spoke warmly about Holmes, whom he dated in the late 1990s.
“She’s a lifelong friend now,” Jackson said.
He also praised the project, which Holmes wrote.
“She wrote this beautiful love story in three parts,” he said. “We got to film that last summer, which was incredibly fun.”
Between a possible new romance and a nostalgic screen reunion, Jackson’s summer is already giving fans plenty to watch.
