Joshua Jackson, Simone Ashley Spark Dating Rumors in NYC

Joshua Jackson and Simone Ashley were spotted spending time together in New York City, marking the first public outing of the two stars together and sparking dating rumors. Both actors dressed casually for the summer day, with Jackson in a white T-shirt and gray pants and Ashley in a lace camisole and printed skirt. Jackson, who shares custody of his 5-year-old daughter with ex-wife Jodie Turner-Smith and was last romantically linked to Lupita Nyong'o, is currently filming "Happy Hours" alongside his former Dawson's Creek co-star Katie Holmes. Ashley, who recently ended a two-year relationship with Constantin "Tino" Klein, emphasized earlier this year that she is focusing on self-growth and not rushing into a new relationship. The nature of Jackson and Ashley's relationship remains unclear, and neither has commented on the outing. Both actors are actively working on significant projects, with Ashley involved in "The Devil Wears Prada 2" and "Bridgerton" season four.
