In a short video clip of Jackson for the “Karate Kid: Legends” film, which was posted on Instagram on July 30, fans reacted by praising the actor for his hotness. “My childhood crush is still my adult crush,” a fan shared. “That man has aged like fine wine,” another comment reads.

What Has Simone Ashley Said About Dating?

Ashley is recently single after splitting from her boyfriend, Constantin “Tino” Klein. She is believed to have broken up with him around January 2025, but confirmed their breakup the following month.

In March, Ashley made it known that she was not looking for another relationship. “I’m not in a rush,” she told People about embracing her “single era.” In the interview, she also said she didn’t want to jump from one relationship to the next and instead wanted to focus on other aspects of her life. “It can be easy to jump into the next thing immediately, which is something that I am choosing not to do,” she said.

She continued, “I want to take my time to find the right person for me and to work on myself — to grow, and to focus on my work.”

As for what she’s looking for and why she wants to take her time to find another person? “It’s about self-growth, and I am looking for someone who is so confident in themselves and is really ready to have an open heart in the same way I do. And I think that’s hard to find,” she said. Could Jackson be that person?

Jackson is also single, having previously dated actress Lupita Nyong’o. She confirmed she was single in October 2024. The pair were linked not long after his ex-wife, Jodie Turner-Smith, filed for divorce.
