Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson Reunite for Rom-Com!

'And working with Josh after so many years is a testament to friendship.' 

When she more recently posted an Instagram shot of them promoting the film, a fan commented, 'They should be a couple,' which Holmes gave a like. 

But she clarified to Variety that the love story depicted in Happy Hours is not inspired by her life.

Instead, the idea developed following the isolation sown by the pandemic. 

'We are seemingly so connected, but we’re still so isolated emotionally,' she noted. 'There’s dating app fatigue; it’s not easy for people to come together.'

Speaking to Rolling Stone about Jackson in 1998, she said: '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.

'I feel so fortunate because he's now one of my best friends. It's weird, it's almost like a Dawson-and-Joey type thing now.

'He's been in the business so long, and he's really helped me. I respect him as a friend and as a professional.'
