Katie Holmes, 47, has been spotted in New York with artist Jason Bard Yarmosky, 38, sparking romance rumors. The pair were photographed holding hands in East Hampton as they arrived at a screening of Olivia Wilde's new film, The Invite. Holmes wore a white long-sleeved T-shirt and green silk skirt, while Yarmosky sported an all-black ensemble.
How They Met
A source told TMZ that Holmes and Yarmosky met in June at a Tribeca Festival dinner. The insider said they hit it off immediately.
Who Is Jason Bard Yarmosky?
Born in New York in 1987, Yarmosky is an American artist known for his paintings and drawings. He graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York City in 2010 with a BFA. His work is influenced by his close relationship with his grandparents, Len and Elaine Bard. One of his most famous pieces, The Kiss (2013), depicts his grandmother wearing Playboy bunny ears kissing his grandfather in a Batman costume.
His original paintings typically range between $14,000 and $21,000, and many go to auction. His work has been exhibited in New York and Paris.
Where He Lives and Works
After his grandmother's death in 2018 and his grandfather's death during COVID in 2020, Yarmosky moved from his Brooklyn home to his cousin's Long Island beach cottage. The 600-square-foot property, designed by architect Andrew Geller, has been in his family since 1959. In 2021, he told T Magazine that the house has been his 'journal' and a space where he has 'found a space for all of [his] thoughts to live in.' He also said he has 'been able to deal with loss and grief in a space that doesn't pressure [him].'
Insider Reactions
An onlooker told People magazine: '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 insider added that Holmes had her head on Yarmosky's shoulder during the film, looking 'very cute' together. Another source told People that Holmes finds Yarmosky 'interesting' and that 'Katie has always been drawn to people who are creative.'
