Katie Holmes celebrated her boyfriend Jason Bard Yarmosky's birthday with a special social media tribute. The actress took to Instagram on September 1 to share a sweet photograph in honor of the 40-year-old's milestone year. 

The picture captured the couple performing together while gazing at one another and laughing. Katie, who was dressed in a black shirt, held a microphone in one hand while wrapping her arm around her partner. Her brunette locks were swept back into an effortless updo. Jason coordinated with his girlfriend's look, as he wore a simple black sweater.

"Happy Birthday to the best of the best…@jasonbardyarmosky," Katie penned in the caption.

Katie's new boyfriend is a contemporary artist who is based in New York. Born in 1987, Jason graduated from New York City's School of Visual Arts with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2010. 

Jason's work primarily spans paintings and drawings and, as per his website, his pieces explore themes of "aging, time and memory".

His website states he "developed a connection to these ideas through his close relationship with his grandparents, who were six decades his senior. Growing up, he often visited museums where he noticed the historical aspect of idealized beauty, which often emphasized youth, yet he yearned for a varied perspective that reflected a broader personal experience."

His work has been displayed in galleries in New York, Paris and Brussels, along with venues like the Brooklyn Museum of Art, Yellowstone Art Museum, the Guild Hall of East Hampton, and Bergdorf Goodman's Fifth Avenue Windows.

Katie was first spotted with the artist at a screening of The Invite in East Hampton in early July, where they were photographed holding hands. However, the couple reportedly met at a Tribeca Festival dinner in New York a month prior.

The actress and her boyfriend made their official public debut as a couple at Ferragamo's new pop-up at Topping Rose House in Bridgehampton, New York. They coordinated their sartorial agendas for the event, as they both stepped out in matching dark blue outfits.

Katie broke her silence on her new relationship when asked about the matching styles by ELLE at the event, responding: "I think we just have similar taste."

The star was previously married to Tom Cruise from 2006 to 2012. The former couple welcomed their daughter, Suri Cruise, on April 18, 2006, in Los Angeles. Katie previously admitted to ELLE UK in 2019 that she was "happy" to welcome Suri at the age of 27, saying that their ages are "a good match."
