The pair seemed to be enjoying each other's company
Simone Ashley and Joshua Jackson have sparked dating rumours after being spotted together in New York City over the weekend.
The pair were seen strolling through the city, laughing and walking closely, the first time they have been publicly seen together.
Joshua kept it casual in a white tee and grey slacks, paired with slate-grey Nike trainers featuring orange check logos.
Meanwhile, the Bridgerton star opted for a baby-blue bustier camisole with lace trim, matched with a silvery snakeskin skirt.
She finished her look with white Nike trainers and a yellow raffia grass tote from Prada.
The pair seemed to be enjoying each other’s company but while their exact relationship status remains unclear, Joshua Jackson seems to have romance on his mind onscreen.
He is currently filming a new romance trilogy alongside his former Dawson’s Creek co-star and ex-girlfriend Katie Holmes.
The films explore a long-term couple facing sudden uncertainties when external forces test their relationship.
Simone Ashley has been busy too, working on The Devil Wears Prada 2, season four of Bridgerton, and the upcoming thriller This Tempting Madness.
The British star split from her boyfriend, lawyer Constantin “Tino” Klein, earlier in 2025. They had been together since 2022.
Simone has been open about focusing on herself since the breakup. Speaking to People in March, she said she was in her “single era” and was not rushing into dating.
She said: “It’s about self-growth, and I am looking for someone who is so confident in themselves and is really ready to have an open heart in the same way I do. And I think that’s hard to find.
“I’m not in a rush. It can be easy to jump into the next thing immediately, which is something that I am choosing not to do.”
“I want to take my time to find the right person for me and to work on myself, to grow, and to focus on my work.”
Simone Ashley also stated at the time that 2025 is packed with exciting projects:
“I’ve got such an incredible year ahead and I’m up to such exciting things.
“And I have the most amazing family and friends around me. So I’m working on my heart and on myself and on my confidence.”
