Katie Holmes goes public with romance as she cosies up to new man

Katie Holmes appeared to take her blossoming romance with artist Jason Bard Yarmosky to the next level as they posed together at a star-studded event in the Hamptons.

The 47-year-old actress wrapped an arm around Jason while attending Ferragamo's stylish pop-up at Topping Rose House in Bridgehampton, New York, on Friday.

Katie looked effortlessly chic in a sheer midnight-blue blouse and cream fringed skirt, adding a bold splash of colour with a bright orange handbag. She completed her elegant summer look with black patent-leather mules and wore her brunette hair loose around her shoulders.

Jason complemented the Dawson's Creek star in a dark blue sweater and coordinating pleated trousers, with the pair making a perfectly coordinated couple as they smiled for photographs.

Their polished appearance comes just two weeks after Katie and Jason first sparked romance speculation during a screening of Olivia Wilde's new movie, The Invite, in East Hampton on July 10 2026.

The pair arrived at the event holding hands and remained close throughout the evening, marking the first of several outings together.

Katie and Jason were later spotted enjoying another date night at New York City's Soho Sessions concert series on July 21.

They continued their run of dates the following day, stepping out for a shopping trip in Midtown Manhattan. 

Jason is a New York-born artist who works across painting and drawing, with much of his work exploring aging, time and memory.

His 2026 exhibition, Time Has Many Faces, was staged at Guild Hall in East Hampton.

The apparent romance marks Katie's first public relationship since her split from musician Bobby Wooten III in 2022. She was previously married to Tom Cruise, with whom she shares 20-year-old daughter Suri, and later dated actor Jamie Foxx.
