Fresh from his highly publicised split from Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong'o, actor Joshua Jackson appears to be moving on. The 'Dawson's Creek' heartthrob has been discovered on the exclusive, members-only dating app Raya, where he has reportedly matched with none other than 'Bridgerton' breakout star Simone Ashley.
The pairing was uncovered by eagle-eyed sources who noted the connection on the notoriously private platform, which is favoured by A-list celebrities and high-profile figures seeking discretion. The match has set tongues wagging in Hollywood and beyond, suggesting a new fledgling romance between the two stars.
A Whirlwind of Change for Jackson
This potential new chapter comes just months after Jackson's separation from his wife of four years, Jodie Turner-Smith, was finalised. His subsequent brief romance with Lupita Nyong'o captured media attention throughout the summer before the couple amicably parted ways in October.
Simone Ashley, who shot to global fame playing the fierce and beloved Kate Sharma in the smash-hit Netflix period drama, has been relatively private about her dating life since her rise to stardom.
The Allure of Raya
The reported connection highlights the continued popularity of the Raya app amongst the entertainment elite. Dubbed the 'Illuminati of dating apps', Raya operates on a strict application-and-vetting process, ensuring a user base of celebrities, influencers, and creatives. Its secretive nature makes it the go-to for high-profile individuals looking to connect away from the public eye.
While neither Jackson's nor Ashley's representatives have officially commented on the rumours, the discovery of their match has undoubtedly fuelled speculation that one of the industry's newest and most intriguing potential couples is forming behind the scenes.
