Katie Holmes has confirmed her new relationship with artist Jason Bard Yarmosky. The couple was seen walking hand-in-hand and displaying affection during a recent stroll through New York City. Holmes, 47, was observed laughing and chatting with Yarmosky as they headed to dinner and a party. The actress also cheekily patted Yarmosky's behind during the outing, days after they were seen holding hands in the Hamptons.

An eyewitness described the pair as appearing comfortable together, noting that Yarmosky was whispering in Holmes' ear and she was laughing. The source told People that Holmes rested her head on Yarmosky's shoulder at one point during a movie screening, adding they looked "very cute."

Holmes, known for her role in "Dawson's Creek" and her previous marriage to Tom Cruise, was seen wearing a chic red and white floral top with a black silk dress and pumps. Yarmosky, born in New York in 1987, focuses his art on themes of aging, time, and memory. He graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2010, and his work has been exhibited internationally.

This new relationship follows Holmes' previous public romances. She was linked to musician Bobby Wooten III in April 2022, but they reportedly parted ways by December of that year. Prior to that, she dated chef Emilio Vitolo Jr. from September 2020 to May 2021.

In recent weeks, Holmes also made headlines for a reunion with her "Dawson's Creek" co-star Joshua Jackson. The pair attended a screening of their new film, "Happy Hours," at the Tribeca Festival in New York. They displayed a flirty rapport on the red carpet, holding hands and speaking fondly of their past working relationship and their new project. Holmes wrote and directed "Happy Hours," which explores the rekindled connection between former sweethearts.

Holmes was previously married to actor Tom Cruise from 2006 to 2012. They share a daughter, Suri, who is now 20 years old.
