Katie Holmes, 47, has been spotted in New York with artist Jason Bard Yarmosky, sparking rumours of a new romance. The pair were photographed holding hands in East Hampton as they arrived at a screening of Olivia Wilde's new film, The Invite.
A source told TMZ that the couple met in June at a Tribeca Festival dinner. In the snaps, Holmes wore a white long-sleeved T-shirt and green silk skirt, while Yarmosky, who is nine years her junior, sported an all-black ensemble.
Who is Jason Bard Yarmosky?
Born in New York in 1987, Yarmosky is an American artist known for his paintings and drawings. He graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York City in 2010 with a BFA, two years before Holmes filed for divorce from Tom Cruise.
According to his website, Yarmosky had a close relationship with his grandparents, Len and Elaine Bard, which influenced his work. His most famous piece is 2013's The Kiss, featuring his grandmother in Playboy bunny ears kissing his grandfather in a Batman costume. His original paintings typically sell for between $14,000 and $21,000.
Where does Yarmosky live and work?
After his grandmother's death in 2018 and his grandfather's passing in 2020, Yarmosky moved from his Brooklyn home to his cousin's Long Island beach cottage. Designed by architect Andrew Geller, the 600-square-foot property has been in his family since 1959. In 2021, he told the New York Times' T Magazine that the house has been his 'journal' and a space to deal with loss and grief.
What have insiders said about the rumoured relationship?
An onlooker told People magazine: 'He was whispering in her ear and she was laughing, they seemed very easy together and there was a smile on her face all night.' The insider also said the couple sat together during the film, with Holmes resting her head on Yarmosky's shoulder, looking 'very cute' together. A source added that Holmes finds Yarmosky 'interesting' and 'loves being around people who are passionate about what they do.'
Who else has Katie Holmes dated?
Holmes previously dated Dawson's Creek co-star Joshua Jackson, ending in 1999, and American Pie star Chris Klein, with whom she was engaged from 2003 until 2005. She married Tom Cruise in 2006, and they divorced in 2012. She later had a six-year relationship with Jamie Foxx, which ended in 2019. She was also linked to chef Emilio Vitolo Jr. (2020-2021) and musician Bobby Wooten III (2022).
