Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson left their fans on cloud nine on Saturday after showing off a shockingly flirty demeanor at the premiere in New York City of their new film, Happy Hours.

Dawson's Creek fans were delighted by video from the Tribeca Festival red carpet, which showed Jackson and Holmes, both 47, holding hands as he sweetly sang her praises during a brief interview.

'The time that we spent together when we were young is very precious to both of us,' Jackson said as he stood next to Holmes and held her hand up to his heart. 'And [it] is, like, one of the core personal and professional relationships in my life.'

The red-carpet pairing comes as both stars are apparently single, following Holmes's split in 2022 from bassist Bobby Wooten III and Jackson's 2024 breakup with Lupita Nyong'o.

Holmes and Jackson, who starred on Dawson's Creek from 1998 to 2003 as Joey Potter and Pacey Witter, respectively, had briefly dated in 1997 after meeting on the series, though Holmes confirmed the following year that the two had split.
