Joshua Jackson & Simone Ashley Step Out Together in NYC

by

Joshua Jackson and Simone Ashley are spending their downtime together.

On August 9th, while their filming activities intensified in New York City, the actor from Doctor Odyssey and the star of Bridgerton were seen taking a leisurely walk around town on their day off.

On a relaxed outing, Joshua, aged 47, chose a white T-shirt and dark trousers alongside Nike trainers. In contrast, Ashley, 30, opted for a light blue lacy camisole with a gray patterned skirt, completed with white running shoes and a neon green Prada handbag.

During our excursion, there was a moment when I found myself actively involved in a lively exchange with my companion, which culminated in mutual laughter.

At the moment, Joshua is in town shooting “Happy Hours” alongside his ex-costar Katie Holmes from “Dawson’s Creek”, whereas Simone is engaged in filming “The Devil Wears Prada 2” with Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, and Emily Blunt.

Previously, Joshua and Simone had met before. As far back as January 2020, they were both present at a BAFTAs event in London. They were part of the crowd of celebrities captured socializing with one another. During that time, Joshua was married to actress Jodie Turner-Smith, and they have a 5-year-old daughter named Juno together.

In October 2023, Jodie, who is 38 years old, decided to file for divorce to bring an end to her four-year marriage. Earlier this year, they managed to reach an agreement on the terms of their divorce settlement.

Regarding Simone, she parted ways with Constantin “Tino” Klein, the CEO of GP Ice Race, in January, following a two-year relationship.

She shared with BBC’s Woman Hour podcast in February, “I am currently in a phase of self-focus, concentrating on myself and my work. I am also nurturing my self-confidence within.

Next month, Ashley referred to her supposed “singleness” as the “period I don’t want to spend idly.

She expressed that her focus is on personal development and she’s searching for someone equally self-assured, with an open mindset similar to hers. However, finding such a person can be challenging, as she shared with People magazine.

On the show, Lord Debling and Prudence Dankworth (née Featherington) don’t seem to play significant roles in each other’s romantic storylines. However, the performers who portray them have formed a genuine relationship off-screen.

And it appears that Carter’s mum Imelda Staunton approves.

In simpler terms, after Daphne Bridgerton exchanged wedding vows with Regé-Jean Page’s character Simon Basset, it has been reported that the actress from ‘Bridgerton’ is planning to walk down the aisle again on her own.

In simpler terms, after leaving the show at the end of season one, the former Duke of Hastings, Page, tends to keep his personal life private away from the cameras. However, since 2021, he has been frequently seen in the company of writer Emily Brown, and appears to be quite content with her.

Like Anthony, 9th Viscount Bridgerton, the English actor prefers to stay mum on romantic affairs.

In an interview with The Standard in December 2023, he openly admitted, yet kept private, that he was involved in a wonderful relationship with a man.

For the actor from Fellow Travelers, maintaining a personal life is absolutely essential. He wonders if he could express his views freely on other matters if he felt his entire existence was exposed and vulnerable.

Gillian Anderson, the star known for Sex Education, was initially considered suitable as the Vicountess by Anthony upon his arrival from India. However, she had previously confirmed her relationship with Tino Klein through an Instagram post in March 2023. Later, in February 2025, the actress announced on BBC’s Woman Hour podcast that she had entered a new phase of being single, disclosing that the separation occurred a month prior.

It appears Benedict Bridgerton prefers a life with ample freedom, both for his artistic pursuits and personal relationships. Yet, there might be signs that he’s starting to harbor certain emotions…

Thompson, who typically keeps his personal life private, fully embraced the journey of his character, regardless of its destination.

In a conversation with Deadline before the season three finale, he expressed that although it’s delightful to discover new things, there’s great worth and thrill in establishing connections or commitments as well.

For a number of years, Newton was in a relationship with actress Jade Louise Davies; her sister, Amber Davies, emerged victorious on “Love Island U.K.” alongside Kem Cetinay in 2017.

After the midseason premiere of Bridgerton in June 2024, he was spotted walking hand-in-hand with dancer Antonia Roumelioti in London.

Absolutely, it seems many fans are disheartened because Colin Bridgerton and Penelope aren’t a couple in reality, as they are in the series.

According to Coughlan, they find it very endearing when there’s a romantic connection between them, even if it happens off-screen. He believes this is because their affection for each other is genuine.

The actress portraying Edwina Sharra, Kate’s radiant sibling, is currently unattached. However, she captured the hearts of many with the launch of her 2024 romantic comedy titled “How to Date Billy Walsh“, where her longtime companion Sebastian Croft also stars.

As it transpired, the actress who was meant to portray Eloise Bridgerton developed feelings for the unactress she auditioned alongside, which is our casting editor, Cole Edwards.
