Constance Wu & Katie Holmes: TV Stars Bond Over Motherhood & Books

Constance Wu recently shared insights into her developing friendship with 'Happy Hours' co-star Katie Holmes. Speaking on May 20, Wu noted that their shared background in television and similar age were foundational to their connection. Both actresses are mothers, with Wu having two children and Holmes one daughter, Siri. This shared parental experience, along with a mutual appreciation for reading, music, and ballet, formed a strong basis for their bond.

Holmes is directing and writing the initial installment of 'Happy Hours,' a character-driven dramedy co-starring Joshua Jackson. The project, which began production in summer 2025 in New York City, follows the adult story of two reunited loves navigating career and family challenges. Fans are particularly excited about the potential on-screen reunion of Holmes and Jackson, reminiscent of their 'Dawson's Creek' days.

Wu also addressed the perennial struggle of work-life balance for working mothers in Hollywood. She admitted to Us Weekly that she has not yet mastered it, prioritizing her children's needs above her career. Wu finds a silver lining, believing that richer life experiences enhance her acting depth and character portrayal.
