Katie Holmes is stepping out with a new man, New York artist Jason Bard Yarmosky.

The actress, 47, was photographed holding hands with Yarmosky as the two attended a screening of The Invite hosted by The Cinema Society at the East Hampton Regal UA on July 10. According to an onlooker, the pair sweetly walked into the event hand-in-hand.

“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 onlooker adds. “They sat together during the movie, she had her head on his shoulder at one point. They looked very cute.”

While the pair didn’t pose for photos together, the source adds they were seen “chatting with friends” at the event’s afterparty, which was held at The Boat House in East Hampton, N.Y.

Yarmosky is a New York-based artist known for his paintings and drawings centered on themes of aging, time and memory, according to his bio on his 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 of Art.

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 was last linked to musician Bobby Wooten III in 2022. The two were first together in April 2022 before splitting later that year. Prior to Wooten, Holmes was in a six-year relationship with Jamie Foxx following her divorce from Tom Cruise, with whom she shares 20-year-old daughter Suri.

The actress’ next project will see her directing her Dawson’s Creek costar Joshua Jackson.

The longtime friends, who dated between 1998 and 1999, are reuniting on-screen in their new romantic dramedy Happy Hours, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in June.
