Katie Holmes, Boyfriend Jason Bard Yarmosky Have Red Carpet Date Night

Although, Holmes played it coy at the time on their matching looks, telling Elle, “I think we just have similar taste.”

And once Yarmosky hard-launched their romance on Instagram in August, Holmes had no qualms with making her love for him public knowledge, posting a sweet photo of the two sharing an embrace from his 39th birthday party. She captioned the pic, “Happy Birthday to the best of the best…@jasonbardyarmosky.”

While Holmes—who shares daughter Suri, 20, with ex-husband Tom Cruise—has been open about her love story with Yarmosky, it certainly took her some time to feel comfortable with putting the spotlight on her private life. 

“Obviously, as a public person, I’ve gotten a lot of attention at different periods in my life,” she explained toInStyle in 2022. “And when you have a lot of attention, sometimes you don’t want to leave the house because it’s just too much. You can get consumed by what people think, but suddenly you just decide to do things on your own terms.”

Thankfully, she learned what worked best for herself, adding, “I feel like I’m finally figuring that out.”
