Actress Katie Holmes appears at an event hand in hand with artist Jason Bard Yarmosky
Katie Holmes, 47, reignited speculation about a new relationship after being photographed holding hands with artist Jason Bard Yarmosky, 39, at a charity event held in New York on July 22, 2026.
The duo participated in an edition of SoHo Sessions, an initiative that supports the Animal League, an organization dedicated to rescuing and protecting animals. The night of the event also featured a musical performance by singer Sienna Spiro.
For the occasion, the actress chose a casual-chic style, wearing a coral blouse, black leather pants and pumps in the same color. Jason, in turn, opted for a more relaxed look, with a white t-shirt, jeans and black shoes.
This isn’t the first time Holmes and Yarmosky have been seen together publicly. They had already been spotted on July 13, 2026, at the premiere of the film “The Invitation”, which took place in the Hamptons, a luxury region in the state of New York. At that moment, a close source told the press that the two were “having a lot of fun”, with the artist whispering in the actress’ ear and causing laughter.
A journalistic publication reported that the romance is still in its early stages. A source interviewed by the vehicle highlighted that both are proceeding with caution. “Things are still very new between Katie and Jason, and they are taking it slow on purpose. No major steps have yet been taken in the relationship, they are just in the initial dating phase and seeing what happens,” the source reported.
According to the same publication, the actress seeks to keep her personal life discreet during this period. For this reason, his daughter, Suri Cruise, 20, from Katie’s marriage to Tom Cruise and currently a college student in Pennsylvania, has not yet been introduced to Jason.
If confirmed, this will be Katie Holmes’ first public relationship since her relationship with musician Bobby Wooten III ended in 2022. Before that, the actress had other notorious relationships with Jamie Foxx and Emilio Vitolo Jr., a history that demonstrates how the actress manages her love life, seeking a balance between public interest and personal privacy.
Recently, Katie had also attracted attention when she was seen in a friendly moment with her ex-boyfriend and former “Dawson’s Creek” co-star, Joshua Jackson, which generated nostalgia among fans of the series. However, the new records alongside Jason Bard Yarmosky suggest a possible new phase in the actress’ sentimental life.
