Katie Holmes sizzled with her costar Joshua Jackson when shooting a scene for their new movie Happy Hour on Tuesday.

The 46-year-old ex-wife of Tom Cruise was beaming when looking at her former Dawson’s Creek cast mate.

Not only did they hold hands while leaning into each other but they shared a close hug when the cameras seemed to be off. 

The chemistry was palpable as they smiled at each other and joked around. 

Katie, who has an 19-year-old daughter Suri by Tom, wore a coffee-stained white shirt with dark slacks and her brunette hair in a French braid.

Jackson was dressed just as casually in a white T-shirt, black jeans with a brown belt and worn-in boots.

Their film is a trilogy about love and marriage. 

Recently 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.’

Dawson’s Creek 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. He has also been linked to Lupita Nyong’o.

This comes just as her daughter Suri is preparing to go back to college for her sophomore year.

Last year daughter Suri began college at Carnegie Mellon, after graduating from New York’s famous LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts earlier this year.

The high school, which was said to have inspired the movie Fame, has churned out a formidable array of celebrities over the years.

Notable alumni range from Al Pacino and Liza Minnelli to Jennifer Aniston and Adrien Brody to newer faces like Ansel Elgort and Timothee Chalamet.

Suri is now attending the prestigious college Carnegie Mellon, where she is said to be ‘leaning towards’ studying fashion.

‘She is a smart girl, and she is turning into a very intelligent mature young woman,’ an insider recently revealed to the Daily Mail.

‘She has a very close group of loyal friends, and she knows exactly where she comes from.’

Katie started dating Tom in 2005 and got engaged to him seven weeks into the relationship.

Their wedding was held at the Castello Orsini-Odescalchi in Bracciano in November 2006, seven months after Suri was born.

Katie filed for divorce in 2012 and it was finalized just 10 days later, with Katie retaining primary custody of Suri while Tom was granted visitation, via People. Tom has not been pictured with his daughter in 12 years.
