Katie Holmes is no longer keeping her new romance in the background. The 47-year-old actress brought boyfriend Jason Bard Yarmosky, 38, as her date to a glamorous dinner in East Hampton, signaling that their relationship is becoming increasingly public.
The couple attended a 45th-anniversary celebration on Thursday night, where Yarmosky was introduced to several familiar faces from Holmes’ social circle. The pair appeared relaxed together throughout the evening and posed side by side for photographs.
Holmes made a striking entrance in a draped royal-purple ankle-length gown, which she teamed with contrasting red heels and a cream clutch. Yarmosky opted for a more understated combination of a fitted black sweater and tailored trousers.
The evening marks another step forward for the couple after a string of appearances together this summer. Only weeks earlier, Holmes and Yarmosky attended an event in Bridgehampton wearing coordinating navy outfits. Asked about their matching style, the actress suggested they simply share similar tastes.
Their connection had already attracted attention in July when they were spotted holding hands at a movie premiere in East Hampton. An eyewitness described them as appearing comfortable together, with Holmes reportedly laughing as Yarmosky whispered to her during the evening.
The pair are believed to have met at a dinner during the Tribeca Festival in New York in June. Their relationship subsequently developed away from the spotlight before they began appearing together more openly.
Yarmosky is a New York-born artist whose work explores subjects including memory, aging and the passage of time. He studied at the School of Visual Arts and has built his career largely outside Hollywood.
For Holmes, the latest appearance suggests she’s becoming increasingly comfortable letting the public see this new chapter of her personal life — and Yarmosky now appears equally at ease by her side.
