Joshua Jackson, known by many for his breakout role as Pacey Witter on Dawson's Creek, has shared where he stands with his former co-star and ex, Katie Holmes. The two starred together on the beloved series that ran for six seasons from 1998 to 2003, and Jackson recently discussed their relationship on the new episode of Dinner's on Me, hosted by Jesse Tyler Ferguson.
During the conversation, the actor revealed that they remain close despite the years since the show ended and their history together. “Busy [Philipps] and Michelle [Williams] are very, very close. And Katie and I are very close,” Jackson explained, adding that while they don’t stay in constant contact, their bond is undeniable.

You’ve gone through the good, the bad, the happy, and the tough times.”

"We text every now and then," she shared last June. However, she admitted she was unaware of a long-running Dawson’s Creek WhatsApp group chat. “I’m really bad at WhatsApp. I never check it because it’s a little too much," she said.
