Jackson recently enjoyed a lovely day in New York City with model Olivia Burgess. The 47-year-old actor and the high-fashion model were all smiles as they held hands while on a public stroll in the Big Apple. 

The duo opted for comfortable, casual clothing during their weekend outing, with the “Dawson’s Creek” alum rocking a linen button-up shirt and matching trousers paired with simple sneakers and sunglasses. 

Meanwhile, his companion, who has previously walked the runway for the luxury brand Jean Paul Gaultier, donned a black tank top, gray Bermuda shorts, and mules while keeping her hair in a messy updo.

This high-profile public appearance with Burgess happened immediately after the veteran actor generated massive media headlines for reconnecting with his real-life ex-girlfriend, Holmes.

The former co-stars reunited to work on their brand-new movie, “Happy Hours,” which the actress wrote and directed herself. 

The Blast noted that onlookers immediately pointed out a viral video, which captured the two looking especially affectionate while discussing their new project.

In the clip, the actor gushed about his connection to the “Jack and Jill” actress, locking hands with her and placing their joined fingers directly against his heart while reminiscing about their youthful history.

He expressed how incredibly meaningful it was to finally work side-by-side with her again, looking deeply appreciative as he noted that she wrote the film entirely for them and waited for him to jump on board.

While his undeniable chemistry with Holmes has captivated long-term fans, this is not the first time the actor has made headlines for a high-profile romantic outing in the city. Last summer, the “Dawson’s Creek” star turned heads in New York City when paparazzi caught him enjoying a cheerful walk with popular “Bridgerton” actress Simone Ashley.

Although the pair did not engage in any obvious public displays of affection, pictures captured them in incredibly high spirits as they walked side-by-side, per The Blast.

The relaxed pair flaunted an exceptionally friendly, comfortable ambiance that hinted at a close relationship between them rather than a casual interaction between strangers.

Notably, the weekend stroll with Ashley occurred nearly a year after his ex-girlfriend, Lupita Nyong’o, confirmed the official end of their brief relationship in October 2024. Prior to that rebound romance, Jackson’s four-year marriage to actress Jodie Turner-Smith famously concluded when she filed for divorce back in October 2023.

Jackson isn’t the only “Dawson’s Creek” co-star who has had a romantic relationship with Holmes. 

According to The Blast, reports indicated that long before fame took them in entirely separate directions, Holmes and her other main co-star, James Van Der Beek, shared a private connection that ran much deeper than the public ever realized.

The surprising revelation surfaced just a week after the actor’s tragic demise, illuminating the quiet romance and enduring connection the young performers carried for decades.

Their natural bond began instantly on the set of the hit series in 1997, with a teenage Holmes admitting that their mutual feelings and connection just happened because they had so much in common.

Amid Holmes’ enduring connections to her past co-stars, her present-day appearances continue to captivate the public in entirely different ways.

The “First Daughter” star recently left onlookers doing a double-take during a New York City appearance, looking noticeably younger than her age. 

Her appearance at the event had fans speculating that the star might’ve undergone cosmetic procedures to look like her 2006 self.

However, addressing the intense public speculation, plastic surgery expert Dr. Kahn weighed in on her taut skin, explaining that her lack of cheek wrinkles likely points to non-invasive treatments rather than surgery, per The Blast.

The specialist suggested that she may be using microdermabrasion, a minimally invasive resurfacing treatment that gently exfoliates the skin’s outermost layer.
