Katie Holmes is sharing the gift of her romance.
The Gift actress and her boyfriend Jason Bard Yarmosky made their first official public appearance as a couple at a Ferragamo event at Topping Rose House in Bridgehampton, New York on July 24.
For the stylish occasion, the pair—who sparked romance rumors earlier this month—rocked coordinating navy blue looks. Holmes—mom to daughter Suri, 20, with ex Tom Cruise—wore a sheer, navy blue button-down blouse and a metallic fringe skirt, paired with black pumps and a neon orange handbag. Meanwhile, Yarmosky, a New York City-based artist, donned a navy blue sweater and matching trousers, along with simple black loafers.
As for Holmes’ thoughts on coordinating with her man? She told Elle, “I think we just have similar taste.”
While the couple’s attendance at the event, which was hosted by Gabrielle Union, marks their first official outing, they recently stepped out for a movie night together. After all, Holmes, 47, and Yarmosky attended a screening of Oliking hand-in-hand while making their way into the theater

And the pair made sure their outing was going to be remembered as Holmes and Yarmosky posed for a photo in front of the poster for the film.
Although the Happy Hours director has not publicly addressed the new development in her love life, her romance with Yarmosky marks her first public relationship in years. Indeed, Holmes was most recently publicly linked to Bobby Wootten II, with whom she dated for less than a year in 2022.
But that doesn’t mean she hasn’t sparked dating speculation.
In fact, after Holmes rekindled her friendship with her former Dawson’s Creek costar Joshua Jackson—whom she dated in the late 1990s while shooting the teen drama—for their new film trilogy Happy Hours, many fans were hoping a romance was also on the horizon once more.
And Holmes further fueled speculation when she liked an April Instagram comment from a user saying she and Jackson “should be a couple.”
Yet, the Batman Begins actress isn’t the only one who has seemed to move past the idea—sorry, Dawson’s fans—as Jackson has also sparked romance rumors this summer with model Oli
But the pair have proved their friendship remains stronger than ever, with Jackson praising Holmes as a “lifelong friend.”
“She is such an incredible friend that she made the space for us to be able to play together again after all these years,” he shared in an Instagram post last month, after their film’s Tribeca Film Festival premiere. “I was amazed when we were kids and she was the bravest, most raw of us telling the truth in every moment.”

In addition to a double date alongside Kendall’s sister Kylie Jenner and her longtime boyfriend Timothée Chalamet, the duo were spotted on several romantic getaways in early summer 2026, including in Hawaii and Japan.
With the changing seasons, however, it appeared things cooled off once more, with mulitple outlets reporting the duo called it quits in October 2025.
This was no summertime fling, though. The duo continued to go strong well into the following year, stepping out for a Miami getaway in May 2026.
While summer was the time for their romance to heat up, Jennifer proved the duo was going the distance when she hard-launched their romance on Instagram in November 2025.
But while the pair appeared to go strong for several months, Megan shared things went south the following spring.
“I’ve made the decision to end my relationship with Klay,” Megan said in a statement to E! News in April 2026. “Trust, fidelity and respect are non-negotiable for me in a relationship, and when those values are compromised, there’s no real path forward.”
“It’s not platonic any more,” JoJo admitted to The Guardian in an interview shared June 2, “and it’s been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I’m absolutely head over heels for him and he’s the same way.”In fact, Chris says they’ve already thought about next steps.”I’d love to marry her,” he told The Sun’s Fabulous. “I’d be lying if I didn’t tell you I run through scenarios of our wedding day. We’d have a proper English wedding and I can imagine her in a full wedding dress. We both want kids. We come from loving families. My mum loves her. She’s my best friend. I love that she’s the person I have to do nothing with and still have the best time. That’s everything to me.”
By the following summer, the couple celebrated one year together.
“From Players to Partners, from Castmates to Co-dreamers…” Katurah continued. “Meet Survivor’s FIRST Black Queer Woman Couple.”
The Love Island USA season six star revealed his relationship with the season five alum on Instagram, notifying his fans he had an “update” and proceeding to post a series of snapshots of the pair.
