Everything we know about Joshua Jackson's alleged beau, Priya Jain

The 27-year-old Not Without Hope actress has often found herself in the limelight. At the same time, her professional timeline is as interesting as her romantic journey.

A look at her career 

In 2017, Priya Jain made her debut in the Hollywood industry with her performance as Marian in Wildflower. According to IMDb, she trained for her acting skills with Upright Citizens Brigade, Lesly Khan, Killian, and Judy Kain before beginning her journey as a professional for Mike Hermos's film. Before relocating to New York in 2019, she also appeared in Vital Signs for Apple TV.

After shifting to the Big Apple, her focus was on receiving training for acting. Meanwhile, she also indulged in modeling and working on intensive stage fighting. By taking a brief break from the screens, she launched her clothing brand, Naked Lynx, in 2020. According to her Instagram bio, she is the designer, operator, and founder of the line. South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported that Naked Lynx's website describes the brand as:

"made, manufactured and designed responsibly between New York City and Los Angeles for the babe that likes to be seaside in Malibu or poolside in the Hamptons"

Priya's entrepreneurial journey has been quite a success. From celebrities and influencers donning her products to honorary features in renowned fashion magazines, her clothing line appears to be a hit among consumers. 

2023 marked a significant year in her acting career as she filmed three films that year. After shifting back to California, she immersed herself in projects and shot for Not Without Hope, Deep Water, and The Canyon. Interestingly, she was also a producer of The Canyon. Her acting portfolio also features roles in Cruel Intentions, Running to Stand Still, and Knock Out.

Born on August 26, 1997, in Orange County, California, she has Indian ancestry. Born and brought up in the United States, she has resided there since the beginning. 

Eric Dane was previously linked with Priya romantically, though neither of them commented on the speculations. However, it seems they have reached an impasse in their alleged relationship, as the Grey's Anatomy star was seen making his red carpet debut with Janell Shirtcliff during the premiere of Countdown in June 2025. According to Page Six, Jain felt "blindsided" seeing his rumored boyfriend with another woman.
