‘Poker Face’ Star Katie Holmes Shows Affection With Boyfriend at Tod’s Milan Show
Milan Fashion Week has turned into a showcase for celebrity couples this season, with front rows resembling red carpets as stars flaunt their latest romances. Amidst the runway shows and street style moments, the real buzz has been about who is sitting next to whom.
Katie Holmes has been quietly crafting a new chapter in her personal life throughout 2026, transitioning from private sightings to public displays of affection with her partner. The ‘Dawson’s Creek’ alum has maintained a relatively low profile compared to her previous relationships, but that discretion has begun to wane in recent months.
This shift was evident on Friday when Holmes and her boyfriend, artist Jason Bard Yarmosky, made a striking appearance at the Tod’s show in Milan, where the brand unveiled its women’s spring and summer 2027 collection. The couple showcased their closeness, coordinating their outfits in soft white and beige tones as they posed for photographers.
Holmes, 47, chose a relaxed yet chic outfit, donning a trench coat over a white top and wide-leg trousers, complemented by black shoes and a matching handbag. Yarmosky, 39, matched her style in neutral tones, and their body language during the event clearly indicated their strong connection.
The age difference between Holmes and Yarmosky has sparked discussions since their relationship became public, yet it seems to have no impact on their chemistry. Yarmosky is a Brooklyn-based painter known for his portraits that delve into themes of aging, memory, and time, often featuring his own grandparents.
The couple was first linked in July 2026 after attending a screening together in East Hampton, and their romance has steadily gained momentum since then. They made their relationship Instagram official on Yarmosky’s birthday in September, just before they began appearing together at high-profile fashion events.
Their public debut came swiftly, as Holmes and Yarmosky were seen holding hands at New York Fashion Week earlier this month, attending the Cult Gaia show and sitting front row alongside supermodels Iman and Helena Christensen. Their Milan appearance marks their first significant outing together in Europe, indicating that their relationship has progressed beyond its initial cautious stages.
Holmes’ dating history has often been shrouded in mystery. Her long-term relationship with Jamie Foxx lasted about six years but was rarely confirmed publicly, while her shorter romances with chef Emilio Vitolo Jr. and Broadway bassist Bobby Wooten III were similarly private.
In contrast to her past relationships, the visibility and pace of her connection with Yarmosky are noteworthy. Sources suggest the couple is still taking things slowly in certain aspects, including introducing him to her teenage daughter, Suri Cruise, whom Holmes shares with ex-husband Tom Cruise.
Nevertheless, their appearances at consecutive fashion weeks on two continents indicate a rapidly developing comfort level. For an actress who has historically kept her romantic life largely out of the public eye, the Milan appearance seems to be a conscious move toward normalizing this relationship.

Fashion month has a unique way of transforming quiet romances into bold public declarations, and Holmes and Yarmosky’s coordinated appearance in Milan did just that. Whether the couple continues to make appearances together on the fashion circuit or retreats to a more private life remains to be seen, but for now, they seem unbothered by the spotlight.
