Katie Holmes confirms artist romance

Actress Katie Holmes has publicly confirmed her relationship with New York-based artist Jason Bard Yarmosky, marking the occasion with a series of social media posts celebrating his birthday. The couple's romance was "hard-launched" on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, when Holmes shared photos and videos on Instagram, including a snapshot of them holding microphones on stage and another of Yarmosky's birthday cake. The posts, which were also shared jointly from Yarmosky's account, included the caption, "Happy Birthday to the best of the best." One image captured the couple embracing, with Holmes smiling broadly while holding a microphone. Another showed Yarmosky blowing out candles on his cake, with Holmes looking on. Holmes and Yarmosky were first romantically linked in early July 2026, when they were reportedly seen holding hands at a screening of the film "The Invite" in East Hampton. An eyewitness told People magazine that Yarmosky was whispering in Holmes' ear, and she was laughing, noting they appeared "very easy together" and she had a smile on her face all night. They were also seen sitting together, with Holmes resting her head on his shoulder.
