TMZ later photographed them embracing during a July 14 dinner date in Manhattan. Us Weekly reported that they kissed and held each other during singer Sienna Spiro’s Soho Sessions performance on July 21, then left holding hands.
People subsequently reported that the two were romantically involved and had met at a dinner before they began dating. One source told the publication that Holmes looked “so happy” and “in love.” Another said Yarmosky whispered in her ear while she laughed, before she rested her head on his shoulder.
Their coordinated Ferragamo appearance
Holmes and Yarmosky attended a Ferragamo pop-up event on July 24 in conspicuously coordinated outfits. E! News called it their “first official public appearance as a couple,” which differs slightly from reports identifying the July 10 screening as their debut.
The distinction is mostly about presentation. The earlier event was their first photographed outing together, while the Ferragamo appearance was a more deliberate, posed event debut. Romance reporting requires a surprisingly detailed classification system.
Asked by Elle about their matching wardrobes, Holmes gave a restrained answer: “I think we just have similar taste.”
Inside the invitation-only event, witnesses reportedly saw them whispering and laughing together. Combined with the earlier hand-holding, kissing reports and subsequent Instagram reposts, the pattern is fairly clear even without a statement drafted by publicists.
The age attached to Yarmosky also comes with a small qualification. E! News and Guild Hall identify him as having been born in New York in 1987, meaning he would be 38 only if his birthday had not yet occurred in 2026. A separate report placing his birth in Detroit in 1977 conflicts with those better-supported accounts.
Who is Jason Bard Yarmosky?
Yarmosky is a New York-born painter who earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts in 2010. His work examines ageing, memory and the passage of time, often combining techniques associated with old-master painting and contemporary subjects.
He first became known for portraits of his grandparents, using their faces and bodies to explore vulnerability, identity and the physical effects of ageing. Guild Hall presented his solo exhibition, Time Has Many Faces, from January 25 to April 19, 2026. His painting Wintered Fields is also held in the collection of the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.
That background gives the coverage of the couple’s nine-year age difference a mildly absurd edge. Yarmosky has built a career examining how society sees age, while celebrity reporting has largely responded by putting two numbers beside two names. The machinery remains efficient, if not especially imaginative.
Unlike Holmes, Yarmosky has kept his previous relationships outside public view. Little reliable information is available about his romantic history.
Holmes has kept past relationships private
Holmes has generally avoided discussing her personal life since her marriage to Tom Cruise. The former couple married in 2006 and share a daughter, Suri. Holmes filed for divorce in 2012.
She later dated actor Jamie Foxx for roughly six years. Despite sustained public interest, the pair rarely discussed the relationship before separating in 2019.
Holmes went on to date New York restaurateur Emilio Vitolo Jr. in 2020, followed by musician Bobby Wooten III in 2022. She and Wooten made several appearances together, including a red-carpet debut at The Moth’s Silver Ball, before ending the relationship after about eight months.
Her latest Instagram activity fits that established approach. Holmes has shared enough to acknowledge Yarmosky’s presence, but not enough to define it in an interview. For now, the reposts amount to an implied confirmation rather than a formal one, with the photographs doing the work and both participants declining to add a label.
