Katie Holmes has found love again.
More than a decade after her divorce from Tom Cruise, the Dawson's Creek alum was spotted getting cozy with a new man during a PDA-filled outing on July 10. Multiple news outlets later identified her new boyfriend as New York City-based artist Jason Bard Yarmosky.
Here's everything to know about Yarmosky and his relationship with Holmes.
Jason Bard Yarmosky Is a New York Native

Katie Holmes is dating Jason Bard Yarmosky.
Holmes' new boyfriend was born and raised in The Big Apple, according to his bio for Guild Hall.
Yarmosky has deep ties to the East End of Long Island, where he has spent time since early childhood. He returned to his family's longtime home following the deaths of his grandparents amid the COVID-19 pandemic, per the website.
"Growing up, he often visited museums where he noticed the historical aspect of idealized beauty, which often emphasized youth, yet he yearned for a varied perspective that reflected a broader personal experience," the bio adds.
Jason Bard Yarmosky Is an Accomplished Artist

They have been spotted on several dates since July.
In 2010, Yarmosky graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York City with a BFA.
His art — which "mixes traditional 17th- and 18th-century painting techniques with contemporary imagery" — is inspired by his late grandparents, with whom he had a close relationship growing up. His grandfather and grandmother were the subjects of his portraits for over a decade, "helping him explore the complex aspects of growing older including vulnerability, care, wisdom, and humor."
His website also notes, "These works became a celebration of aging, resisting cultural tendencies that diminish joy, individuality, and dignity in later life."
It echoes what he shared in a video on Instagram, revealing, "The first few paintings I ever made were my grandmother dressed up as a bunny and my grandfather as a cowboy."
Over the years, Yarmosky has exhibited his work at different institutions, including the Brooklyn Museum, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, San Antonio Museum of Art and Yellowstone Art Museum. Most recently, his "Timeless Women in New York" portrait series was featured in the windows of Bergdorf Goodman's Fifth Avenue flagship.
