Joshua Jackson and Simone Ashley have sparked dating rumours after being seen enjoying a sunny stroll together in New York City. The 47-year-old actor and the 30-year-old Bridgerton star were photographed smiling and laughing on Saturday, appearing relaxed despite the summer heat.
Jackson, known for his roles in Dawson's Creek and The Odyssey, wore a white T-shirt, dark trousers and green trainers. Ashley opted for a white lace tank top, a printed midi skirt and white trainers. The sighting comes after Jackson was linked to Lupita Nyong'o earlier this year, though Nyong'o confirmed she was single by October.
Jackson was previously married to Jodie Turner-Smith from December 2019 until May 2025. Their divorce has involved a custody battle over their five-year-old daughter, Juno. Last month, Jackson was also photographed in New York with former co-star Katie Holmes, filming scenes for the upcoming film Happy Hours.
Ashley ended her two-year relationship with businessman Constantin “Tino” Klein earlier this year. In March, she described herself as being in her “single era” and focusing on personal growth. She told People magazine: “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.”
