Katie Holmes Has ‘Become Close Pretty Quickly’ with New Boyfriend Jason Bard Yarmosky: ‘Part of Each Other’s Worlds’

Holmes and Yarmosky, an artist, were first seen spending time together in July and recently made their relationship Instagram official

Katie Holmes and her new boyfriend, Jason Bard Yarmosky, have been enjoying themselves in the months since they were first seen spending time together, as a source tells PEOPLE.

“They’ve become close pretty quickly,” the source says of Holmes, 47, and Yarmosky, 39, some two months after they were first photographed in East Hampton, N.Y., July 10. “Katie feels very comfortable with him. She’s having a lot of fun. They really enjoy spending time together and had an amazing summer.”

Yarmosky, a New York City-based artist, and Holmes were first seen holding hands when they attended a screening of Olivia Wilde‘s The Invite back in July. The pair also stepped out for dinner in Manhattan that same week. More recently, Holmes and Yarmosky made their relationship Instagram official on Sept. 1 and shared photos from a trip they took to Lake Como in Italy on Monday, Sept. 7.

“Katie loves traveling with him and the Lake Como trip was very special,” the source adds. “She loves that he’s creative and passionate about his work. They have a lot in common. They’re supportive and show up for events that are important to each other. They both enjoy being part of each other’s worlds.”

Holmes described Yarmosky as “the best of the best” when she went Instagram official with him on Sept. 1. The post also doubled as a happy birthday wish to her artist boyfriend.

Back in July, a source told PEOPLE that she and Yarmosky first connected at a dinner and that she “finds him interesting,” adding, “Katie has always been drawn to people who are creative,” the source said at the time.

“She loves being around people who are passionate about what they do. She enjoys learning and experiencing new things,” they continued.

A source also said that the pair “looked so happy and in love” following a dinner date in N.Y.C. on July 14.

Yarmosky’s work as an artist includes paintings and drawings centered on themes of aging, time and memory, according to his official website. After graduating from the School of Visual Arts in New York City in 2010, Yarmosky’s work has been displayed in museums across the country, including the Brooklyn Museum. Most recently, his portrait series titled “Timeless Women in New York” was displayed in the windows of Bergdorf Goodman’s Fifth Avenue shop in N.Y.C.

Holmes most recently appeared on the big screen in her movie Happy Hours, which she also directed. The project made its world premiere at the Tribeca Festival in June.
