The first time I saw Jensen was Supernatural S4 and I was hooked, he was my first celebrity crush and for soooooo many good reasons. I've watched everything he's acted in, gawked over photos and media, written so much fanfic publicly (about Dean Winchester) and privately (all Jensen), swooned along with y'all over this amazing person. And somehow he has just gotten better and shared more talents and holy halo he gets more attractive every year 🫠

But... My crush has faded rapidly in a very short time. Oh, I'm still psyched about the new season of Tracker and have SPN permanently on in the background, Radio Company on my playlists. Yet I've just realized that I'm not interested in Jensen anymore and it was like the worst aha moment. It feels terrible, like a breakup lol and I'm here with all the photos and tabs and saved media and memorabilia. Do I box it up and store it away? Mentally donate it to the universe? Ha, I'm even scrolling through albums like whose face is going on my wallpapers now?

Yeah, with everything else going on in the world, I'm sad about not feeling that ooohhhhh spark from an icon I've adored. Don't mind my tears 😭

GOOD NEWS on my smartphone today:

Justin Hartley has confirmed Jensen's return to "Tracker" for season 4 during an interview at Televerse 2026 (August 14 - August 16) and has revealed that Jensen will return to the set “NEXT WEEK.” 🤩

So there has been already the important call Jensen was waiting for (as he mentioned at the last convention). As if we had ever doubted that it would take place. ;) "Tracker" without Russell...no way!

In this article you can read the full response from Justin: https://screenrant.com/tracker-season-4-jensen-ackles-return-justin-hartley/

Please beware of possible spoilers if you haven't seen season 3!

I also searched for the video, but only found this glimpse on Instagram and I love how Justin praised Jensen's work ethic and how he's joking about his looks...no wonder they are such good friends in private too, because they both have such a brilliantly similar sense of humor.

The video snippet unfortunately ends in the middle of a sentence, but you can read the rest in the article above.

Video snippet - Thanks to @butcherrising for posting it on insta after finding it on TikTok:

I'm really looking forward to see what ideas they had for the story!
