Dawson's Creek actor James Van Der Beek hints at secret off-screen romance with costar Katie Holmes while filming show
DAWSON'S Creek actor James Van Der Beek has suggested a secret off-screen romance with former co-star Katie Holmes.
Over the weekend, two Dawson's Creek castmates reunited at a panel for '90s Con on Saturday, March 16.
At the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford, James, 47, who played the role of Dawson Leery, and co-star Kerr Smith, who portrayed Jack McPhee, held a Q&A session with attendees.
During the session, a fan asked the Varsity Blues star if he had an off-screen romance with Katie, 45 – who played Joey Potter.
After hearing the question, fans were hoping for a big reveal, according to an insider, but then were left disappointed with his response.
Taking a moment to think about the best answer, James soon replied, "What happens in the creek stays in the creek."
This prompted fans to laugh since he opted to play coy.
On the CW show, which aired between 1998 and 2003, Dawson and his best friend, Pacey Witter (Joshua Jackson), had a crush on Joey.
Amid their romantic triangle, Joey had a brief fling with Jack, who struggled to come to terms with being gay.
At the panel, James poked fun at Kerr and his character arc.
"Now you can be canceled for not being gay," the Rules of Attraction star said, referring to the times changing.
As the series came to an end, Joey ended up picking Pacey over Dawson.
KATIE'S RELATIONSHIPS
Outside of the show, Katie famously married superstar Tom Cruise, 61, from 2006 to 2012.
The former couple share their daughter Suri, now nearly 18.
A year after their split, Katie notably dated actor Jamie Foxx, 56 – whom Tom worked together with on the 2004 film Collateral.
Rumors swirled about Katie and Jamie's relationship for years.
Who should Joey have ended up with?
Who would you pick?
PACEY or DAWSON?
The pair started making public appearances together in 2019, however, they broke up shortly after going public.
JAMES' BROOD
As far as James, he and his wife, Kimberly, gave birth to their sixth child, Jeremiah, in November 2021.
James and Kimberly got married in an intimate ceremony in Tel Aviv, Israel, in August 2010.
The couple also share five other children-Olivia, Joshua, Annabel, Emilia, and Gwendolyn.
THE PANEL
The reunion came about after Dawson's Creek creator Kevin Williamson discussed plans to revisit the series.
In August 2019, the Scream 7 director admitted during the TV Critics Association summer press tour that there were talks, but nothing was set in stone, via Yahoo!

James Van Der Beek
During the panel, James and Kerr mentioned nothing is in the works yet for a revival.
As the discussion went on, James paid tribute to his late mother, Melinda, who died at the age of 70 in July 2020.
After Melinda's death, James revealed actress Mary-Margaret Humes, 69, who played Dawson's mother Gail Leery, has become a surrogate mother to him.
He claimed Mary sent him baked cookies every year on his birthday since his mom died.
