Katie Holmes Spotted Holding Hands With Jason Bard Yarmosky
Katie Holmes was spotted out and about with a new guy in New York.
According to photos obtained by People, Holmes, 47, was spotted on an outing with artist Jason Bard Yarmosky on Friday, July 10. The pair held hands while attending a screening of The Invite hosted by The Cinema Society at the East Hampton Regal UA.
Yarmosky, 38, is a New York-based artist who specializes in paintings and drawings. He graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York City in 2010, per his website. His work typically centers on themes of aging, time and memory and has been put on display in museums across the United States, including the Brooklyn Museum of Art.
Holmes and Yarmosky’s outing comes nearly one month after the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of the actress’ new romantic comedy Happy Hours, with Joshua Jackson. Holmes and Jackson, also 47, are best known for starring on The WB’s Dawson’s Creek together, where they played love interests Joey Potter and Pacey Witter, respectively. The duo briefly dated while acting on the ‘90s teen drama before their characters got together on screen. Despite calling it quits after one year together, the exes have remained close friends.
“The time that we spent together when we were young is very precious to both of us,” Jackson told a reporter at the Tribeca Film Festival in June as he stood beside Holmes. “And [it] is like one of the core personal and professional relationships in my life.”
Earlier this year, Holmes and Jackson made headlines when they reunited for the movie and were spotted filming all over New York City. In addition to starring in Happy Hours, Holmes serves as the movie’s writer and director. The project, which is set to be a trilogy, follows a couple deciding if their fizzled connection is worth a second chance.
“I take it very seriously, and I want to do right by Josh. I have a great deal of respect. So I wanted it to be right,” Holmes said of approaching Jackson for the project while speaking at Tribeca.. “We’ve often talked about doing something again, but we never knew what. So it was really about that and agreeing to go for it, I suppose. He said yes, and that made me feel very good.”
While attending Happy Hours’ premiere, Jackson and Holmes walked the red carpet together and held hands. Following the event, Jackson took to social media to express his appreciation for Holmes.
“It takes many hands to make a movie. And I am thankful to every hand that touched this one. But … this is a Katie appreciation post,” he wrote via Instagram in June. “It is because of her light that all those hands were brought together. Because of [the] generosity of her spirit that she wanted to bring this wonderful, loving, hopeful story into the world.”
