As most of you know, Joshua Jackson and Katie Holmes shared a brief, yet intense relationship at the beginning of shooting for Dawson's creek. Why they ended it, is a question yet to be answered, and for most of us, we knew nothing of the relationship and if it really did exist! They never did talk about it much, but there were a few hints that they accidentally forgot to conceal, here are some of them:
Mademoiselle April 1999 (pp.125-126) MLLE: Last year you dated Joshua Jackson, who plays Dawson's self-deprecating jester, Pacey. Is it hard to work together now that you've broken up? KH: (Holmes does her best imitation of a clam) No. We're great friends. We did date. We fell in love. And I love him and now we have a friendship, which is nice. (She looks pointedly out of the Window.) So, isn't it pretty out today? (It's raining)
Ironically, the very characters he has created-and the actors who play them have become part of That culture. "It was very strange and kind of scary," Holmes says about seeing her life story in Rolling Stone last September. The article opened with questions about her fling with Creek co-star Joshua Jackson (Pacey Witter) last year. "Suddenly, most of my life was out there," she says, still amiable but Slightly perplexed. "Why do people want to know all of this?" "That kind of scrutiny could potentially be very damaging to the average psyche," says Jackson, also 20, during a rare moment on the set not spent hanging with Holmes. "But Katie carries herself with a grace that really belies the fact that she's only been working for a year and a half. She's a wonder to behold." In fact, she handles the relationship question with the air of a people pleaser who knows she should be more guarded. "Josh and I dated," she says slowly. "We're both single now. And everything's nice. It was pleasant. It was wonderful." On entertainment tonight Thursday, October 29th 1998, there was a report that Katie Holmes has been seen with the company of her Co-star Joshua Jackson.
In the winter 1998 edition of moXie girl there is a little article about Josh in it and it says- "This season he is back to being smooth-cat, whipper-snapper Pacey, and with some typical girl Problems, some unusual Dawson problems, and hey, why didn't Joey like him back? Picky, that Joey. But then again, the real life 20-year-old Canadian and his Co-star Katie Holmes have an Off-screen romance going, so maybe it was just to awkward for them to tongue wrestle on the Camera. I dunno."
Katie on Letterman: Katie Holmes appeared on Letterman on September 24, 1998, and a topic that came up often was, "Who are you going out with?" I guess Letterman, along with the rest of her fans, want to Know. Well, he also continued to, "Is it someone on the show?" Katie was clearly uncomfortable with the question, and she even tried to divert the subject several times.
Katie in Rolling Stone: This Article appeared in the Rolling Stone with her on the cover. It is then that I feel the adrenaline pumping, for it is time for the Swoop. Which can be fun if one is Armed with rumours of onset tantrums or some such ridiculous behaviour. It is not as amusing to swoop down on a nice girl from Toldeo, Ohio, about her "wonderful, amazing experience." But swoop I must
"Ahem. I have it on good authority that your experience was with Josh Jackson aka Pacey Witter," I say as Holmes stares bleakly and then buries her face in her hands. She raises her head and takes a trembling breath.
"I'm just going to say that I met somebody last year," she begins. "I fell in love, I had my first love, And it was something so incredible and indescribable that I will treasure it always." She pauses. "And that I feel so fortunate because he's now one of my best friends. It's weird, like a Dawson and Joey type thing now." And that is all she will say. No, wait, there is one more thing. "He's been in the Business so long, and he's really helped me. I respect him as a friend and professional." And with That, the calm returns to the Serengeti.

Michelle Williams in the June issue of All about You, commented that Katie and Josh were an item, but are no longer.
When Katie Holmes was on Leno, he came to watch and visit her. Here are some other facts: Regarding relationships, on Live with Regis and Kathie Lee Regis asked Josh: "Are you single?" and Josh replied "Yes." Then Regis said: "Do you Have a girlfriend?" to which Josh answered "No, that would be in the Non-single category." or something to that effect.
Katie Holmes in the August 1998 issue of Teen (where she's on the cover) Says: "When it comes to her love life, Katie's come out of her shell a bit (she claims she regularly went dateless in high school) but she doesn't want to tell the world about it. 'I'm a private person. I'm not a big socialiser,' she says. 'I'm a little shy, but i'm also friendly. Those are the same qualities i look for in a guy.' "
