Love is in the air for Katie Holmes and his new romantic partner, Jason Bard Yarmosky.
Although Holmes is enjoying this new wave of romance in her personal life, she is reportedly deliberately keeping her relationship low-key for the time being.
The actress has been spotted several times with Yarmosky, who graduated with a bachelor’s degree in fine arts from the School of Visual Arts.
Katie Holmes is reportedly taking things slow with her new partner
Holmes embraces a budding romance with Yarmosky, but the couple completely avoids any rushed steps.
Sources close to the matter reveal that the connection is still in its infancy. Until now, they have deliberately avoided mixing their respective family circles, which explains why the artist’s daughter, Suri Cruise, has not met her mother’s partner.
“They’re intentionally taking it slow. They haven’t been introduced to each other’s families or done any of that yet,” a source revealed, according to Page Six.
For now, those close to the couple note that they are focused solely on simply enjoying each other’s company without making any permanent commitments. Content with their current casual status, they are happy to let the relationship evolve organically over time.
“There haven’t been any major steps in their relationship yet; they’re still in the dating phase at the moment. They’re happy to take things as they come and see where they go,” the source added.
According to insiders, Yarmosky brings a deeply quiet energy to the relationship, creating an environment in which the actress feels comfortable and protected.
The duo was spotted at a movie screening in East Hampton
Public discussions around Holmes and Yarmosky intensified as observers noticed the growing connection between them beginning to manifest itself much more openly.
As The Blast previously reported, the duo gained widespread attention when they arrived hand-in-hand at an East Hampton movie theater for a special screening of “The Invite.”
According to those present at the theater, the new couple radiated complete comfort and contentment in each other’s presence throughout the event. A nearby witness observed the painter playfully whispering in the performer’s ear, causing the performer to laugh and smile.
The two men reportedly remained inseparable throughout the film, with viewers noticing that the actress rested her head on his shoulder during the presentation.
Katie Holmes and her new flame were also spotted together at a summer get-together
Besides being spotted at the screening, the two were also spotted together at a group dinner, after which they went on a date.
Members of Holmes’ immediate entourage say the star has always had a natural affinity for imaginative individuals, preferring to surround herself with people who demonstrate immense drive for their chosen profession.
“Katie has always been attracted to creative people,” the source said, according to People Magazine.
When the two went out to dinner later, they reportedly looked “so happy, as they openly smiled at each other and kissed.”
Inside the creative journey of Jason Bard Yarmosky
Yarmosky, the new companion in the actress’s life, is a well-respected presence on the modern gallery circuit.
Born in 1987, this New York native officially earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the School of Visual Arts in 2010. Over the years, his professional portfolio has focused heavily on the psychological and physical realities of the aging process.
His main creative inspirations were his own grandparents, Elaine and Leonard Bard, who spent years serving as central figures in his series of hyperrealistic portraits. Following the death of his grandparents, the designer temporarily moved to Long Island to cope with his deep grief.
According to Page Six, this period of quiet isolation eventually helped him overcome his grief, and soon after, he created his early 2026 gallery exhibition, “Time Has Many Faces.”
Katie Holmes recently sparked romantic speculation with her former co-star
Yarmosky’s gallery showcase, “Time Has Many Faces,” was on display from January to April 2026, and shortly after, he met Holmes in June.
During this period, Holmes had found herself at the center of another media storm regarding a very public meeting with a former flame. The Blast reported that her professional collaboration with her former TV co-star, Joshua Jackson, sparked massive waves of nostalgic romance rumors among longtime fans.
The two actors, who played a definitive on-screen couple in “Dawson’s Creek,” caused a stir when they appeared together at the premiere of “Happy Hours” in New York.
During the event, their display of physical affection towards each other was instantly analyzed on social media platforms.
Countless commentators have suggested that the deep ease between the two men indicated an ongoing attraction on a soulmate level. However, Holmes’ new connection with Yarmosky seems to have put an end to the speculation for good.
