Joshua Jackson Just Made Things OFFICIAL With Model Olivia Burgess In The Most PDA-Packed Way Possible π
The 'Dawson's Creek' star and his 29-year-old girlfriend were spotted kissing all over Los Angeles β and we mean ALL over. Airport reunions! Park makeouts! Erewhon runs! This is how you hard-launch a relationship in 2026.
If you were wondering whether Joshua Jackson and model Olivia Burgess are actually dating, well β the photos don't lie, people.
The 48-year-old Dawson's Creek alum and 29-year-old French-American model just went FULL PDA mode during a Monday date in Los Angeles, and honestly? We're obsessed with the energy. According to Page Six, the two were photographed passionately kissing multiple times β at the airport, in the park, by his car β basically everywhere except inside Erewhon (though they did grab lunch there, naturally).
This is what we call a hard launch, and it's EVERYTHING.
The Tea β
- Joshua Jackson, 48, and Olivia Burgess, 29, were spotted making out all over LA on Monday
- He picked her up from LAX, they hit up Erewhon (of course), then had a romantic park date
- They were first linked back in June when they were photographed holding hands in NYC
- Burgess is a model and dancer who's walked for Jean Paul Gaultier and modeled for Nike and Gap
- Jackson shares a 6-year-old daughter, Juno, with ex-wife Jodie Turner-Smith (they're still working through a contentious divorce)
From Airport Pickup to Park Makeout: A Timeline
Let's paint the picture: Jackson first picked up Burgess from LAX on Monday, where they "happily embraced" like they hadn't seen each other in AGES, per Page Six. (Cute!) He even carried her luggage, because chivalry is not dead when you're a '90s heartthrob.
Then they made their way to Erewhon β the most LA grocery store to ever LA β before heading to a park for a lunch date. And that's when things got spicy.
The two were photographed kissing, with Jackson keeping his hand on her waist, looking absolutely smitten. Burgess was beaming at him the entire time, dressed casually in a black tube top and athletic pants, while Jackson went for a blue polo and light-colored pants. Very "we're just two people in love grabbing overpriced smoothies" vibes.
Who Is Olivia Burgess?
If you're not familiar with Burgess (hi, welcome), she's a French-American model and dancer who's appeared in runway shows for major brands like Jean Paul Gaultier, Chromat, and Agent Provocateur. She's also modeled for campaigns with Gap, Bloomingdale's, Nike, and more.
So yeah, she's kind of a big deal in the fashion world. And based on these photos, she and Jackson are absolutely in their honeymoon phase.
The Jodie Turner-Smith Of It All
Of course, we can't talk about Jackson's new romance without mentioning the elephant in the room: his ongoing divorce from Jodie Turner-Smith.
The Queen & Slim star, 39, filed for divorce in October 2023 after nearly four years of marriage. Since then, things have been⦠messy. Turner-Smith accused Jackson of not paying child support in December 2024, and the two clashed over their daughter Juno's schooling in May 2025. Jackson even filed an emergency modification to their custody order the following month. Yikes.
But here's where it gets interesting: By October 2025, the duo appeared to have resolved their issues, calling off their divorce trial and stating they were "in the process of negotiating a custody judgment." And earlier this month, Turner-Smith even shared photos of the three of them on vacation together β a move that surprised fans given how contentious things had been.
Turner-Smith also candidly discussed their co-parenting situation in June on Hoda Kotb's podcast Joy 101, saying: "We're learning as well and not always getting it totally right β but the idea is always two homes filled with love."
So while Jackson and Turner-Smith are clearly still navigating their split, it seems like they're committed to making things work for Juno. And now, Jackson is moving forward with Burgess β publicly, unapologetically, and with a LOT of kissing.
The Internet Is LIVING For This
As soon as the photos hit the internet, fans started flooding social media with reactions. Some are thrilled to see Jackson happy again after his divorce drama. Others are doing the math on that 19-year age gap (he's 48, she's 29). And a few are just here for the Erewhon content, because of course they are.
But one thing's for sure: Joshua Jackson is not hiding this relationship. And after months of speculation (they were first spotted holding hands in NYC back in June), it's nice to see them just⦠living their lives. Kissing in parks! Being cute! Carrying each other's luggage!
We love to see it. π
What's Next for Pacey Witter?
Okay, yes, we know his name is Joshua Jackson, but if you grew up watching Dawson's Creek, he'll always be Pacey to you. And now that he's officially coupled up with Burgess, we're just wondering: When's the red carpet debut? When do we get the Instagram official moment? When does she meet Juno?
(Too soon? Probably. But we're invested now!)
So, what do you think: Are you Team Joshua and Olivia, or do you think it's too soon after his split from Jodie? Sound off below! π
