Joshua Jackson had been in his fair share of high-profile relationships before marrying Jodie Turner-Smith. In 1997, he dated his “Dawson’s Creek” co-star Katie Holmes, according to PopSugar. While speaking with Rolling Stone in 1998, Jackson seemingly referred to Holmes as his first love. “I met somebody last year … and it was something so incredible and indescribable that I will treasure it always,” he told the magazine. After whirlwind romances with Brittany Daniel and Rosario Dawson, Jackson became romantically involved with Diane Kruger in 2006. Both the “Mighty Ducks” actor and the “Inglorious Basterds” star had insisted they have no plans to get married during their relationship. “I can tell you why we’re not married: We’re not religious,” Jackson told Glamour in 2014. “We’re both children of divorce, so it’s hard for me to take marriage at face value as the thing that shows you’ve grown up and are committed to another person.” He and Kruger were together for over a decade before they split up in 2016.

Following his breakup with Kruger, Jackson had a short-lived tryst with model Shafia West in 2017. He also sparked dating rumors with actor and TV host Alyssa Julya Smith, after the two were spotted together in New York the following year, per E! News. A source told the outlet that the pair had been seeing each other for several months when news of their romance first surfaced. However, they also split, and Jackson went on to date Turner-Smith.
