Katie Holmes, Joshua Jackson Stage Dawson's Creek Reunion at Globes
Back to the creek! Twelve years after Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson starred in The WB’s Dawson’s Creek, the former on-and-offscreen couple reunited at the 2015 Golden Globes on Sunday, Jan. 11.
Holmes and Jackson both walked the red carpet at The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills ahead of the awards show, but were not seen together amidst the hubbub and fanfare. While Holmes, 36, posed for photos solo, Jackson, also 36, was joined by his longtime girlfriend Diane Kruger.
Fans of the teen drama, which aired from 1998 to 2003, took to Twitter on Sunday evening to gush about the reunion of Holmes and Jackson, who played Joey Potter and Pacey Witter, respectively, in the show. “#Dawsonsforever,” one user wrote, while another added, “Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson both at the Golden Globes. Joey + Pacey forever.”
Looking sharp in a Berluti tuxedo with a black silk bow tie, Jackson’s critically acclaimed Showtime program The Affair was up for big awards at the Golden Globes. It took home Best Drama Series, with star Ruth Wilson also winning Best Actress in a Drama Series.
Jackson, whose character Pacey won Joey’s heart at the end of Dawson’s Creek, took the stage with his castmates when The Affair won Best Drama. His girlfriend of nine years Kruger looked ecstatic, embracing him and cheering him on as the show’s name was called.
“It takes a lot,” Kruger, 38, said in a red carpet interview ahead of the show of her relationship with Jackson. “We certainly had our ups and downs… At the end of the day, I just really like him.”
Before Jackson started dating Kruger in 2006, he dated his on-screen love Holmes when the cameras weren’t rolling. The two stars were in a relationship as teenagers in the late 1990s, with Holmes telling 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.”

The friendly exes continued their reunion on Sunday evening when they both hit the same afterparties. Jackson and Holmes kicked off the night of celebrations at HBO’s Post Golden Globe Party at The Beverly Hilton Hotel. Eyewitnesses tell Us Weekly exclusively the actors both made brief appearances at the soirée before making their way to the 2015 Weinstein Company And Netflix Golden Globes After Party.
Holmes, who looked beautiful at the Globes in a custom Marchesa gown with Christian Louboutin heels, reconnected with Jackson as recently as 2012. The Affair actor said that Holmes called him after her headline-making 2012 divorce from Tom Cruise to catch up.
“Like any old friend, it was like, ‘Oh, hi how are ya? What’s going on?'” he explained. “It was very nice, actually.”
