Joshua Jackson and Simone Ashley appeared close during an outing together in New York City.
“The Odyssey” actor, 47, and the “Bridgerton” alum, 30, were photographed smiling and laughing on Saturday.
The two were clearly in good spirits as they walked in the NYC heat.
Jackson dressed casually in a white T-shirt, dark pants and green sneakers while Ashley matched the relaxed vibe in a white lace tank top, a printed midi skirt and white sneakers.
This is the first time the two have been spotted together.
Reps for Jackson and Ashley didn’t immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
Jackson was last linked to Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong’o after they were spotted passionately kissing on the beach in Mexico in March 2024. But by that October, she shared she was single.
The Canadian actor was married to Jodie Turner-Smith from December 2019 to May 2025. They went through a contentious divorce, including an ongoing custody battle over their 5-year-old daughter, Juno.
Jackson made headlines with another one of his exes when he was photographed in NYC last month on the set of the upcoming feature film trilogy, “Happy Hours,” with his “Dawson’s Creek” co-star, Katie Holmes. Fans were delighted to see Jackson and Homes — who dated in 1998 for a year — filming scenes together.
As for Ashley, she shared she was in her “single era” in March after her breakup from Constantin “Tino” Klein.
“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,” she told People. “And I think that’s hard to find.”
The British actress said she was “not in a rush” to find love after getting out of a two-year relationship with the CEO.
“It can be easy to jump into the next thing immediately, which is something that I am choosing not to do,” she said. “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.”
