Actors Joshua Jackson and Simone Ashley were seen enjoying a casual stroll together in New York City, appearing friendly and comfortable with each other. They shared smiles and laughter during their walk on a warm day.

Jackson, 47, dressed in a simple white T-shirt, dark trousers, and green sneakers, complemented Ashley’s relaxed look in a white lace tank top, printed midi skirt, and white sneakers. Their casual attire reflected their laid-back mood as they wandered side by side.

This marks the first time the two have been photographed together publicly. Reactions from their representatives remain undisclosed.

Jackson’s recent relationships have garnered media attention, notably his highly publicized divorce from Jodie Turner-Smith in May 2025, with whom he shares a daughter named Juno. The breakup process was reportedly contentious, involving ongoing custody disputes.

Previously, Jackson was romantically linked to Lupita Nyong’o, with whom he was seen sharing a passionate kiss during a vacation in Mexico earlier this year. Nyong’o, however, announced last October that she was single.

Ashley, the star of “Bridgerton,” recently stated she was in her “single era” after ending a two-year relationship with Constantin “Tino” Klein. She emphasized her focus on self-growth and expressed a desire for a partner who is confident, open-hearted, and ready for a genuine connection.

In her interviews, Ashley mentioned she is not rushing into new relationships, choosing instead to prioritize her personal development, work, and emotional well-being.
