Hollywood Actor Joshua Jackson and Model Olivia Burgess Confirm Dating Rumors With PDA

Posted By: Julian Daily Gist Editorial Team

Actor Joshua Jackson and French-American model Olivia Burgess appear to be taking their rumored romance to the next level after being spotted sharing an affectionate moment during a recent outing in Los Angeles.

The 48-year-old Dawson’s Creek alum and 29-year-old model were photographed sharing a passionate kiss during a lunch date at a Los Angeles park. The outing came shortly after Jackson picked Burgess up from Los Angeles International Airport.

Following their airport reunion, the pair stopped at upscale grocery chain Erewhon to pick up food before heading outdoors. Once at the park, they were seen staying close, holding each other and sharing several affectionate moments.

Burgess opted for a casual look, wearing a black tube top and dark athletic pants, with her curly hair pulled back. Jackson, meanwhile, kept things relaxed in a blue polo shirt and light-colored trousers.

Their latest public appearance comes after months of speculation about the nature of their relationship. Romance rumors first gained attention earlier this summer when the pair were photographed holding hands while taking a stroll through New York City.

Burgess has made a name for herself in the fashion industry, working as both a model and dancer. She has walked the runway for renowned brands including Jean Paul Gaultier, Chromat, and Agent Provocateur, and has also appeared in advertising campaigns for major names such as Gap, Bloomingdale’s, and Nike.

Jackson’s apparent new romance comes amid developments in his personal life. The actor recently reunited with his ex-wife, actress Jodie Turner-Smith, for a family vacation with their 6-year-old daughter, Juno.

Turner-Smith filed for divorce in October 2023 after nearly four years of marriage. Although their separation was followed by legal disagreements involving child support and schooling arrangements, court filings later revealed that the former couple called off their scheduled divorce trial after agreeing to resolve custody matters through a private mediator.

With Jackson and Burgess now seemingly more comfortable displaying affection in public, their latest outing is likely to fuel further speculation that their relationship is becoming increasingly serious.
