Katie Holmes looks more in love than ever. The actress and filmmaker has had a busy couple of weeks, going on a trip to Lake Como to celebrate the end of summer and her boyfriend's birthday. She has been dating Jason Bard Yarmosky for the past couple of months, but a new post on Instagram marks their most romantic moment yet.

Over the past week, Holmes has shared a couple of posts alongside Yarmosky, first starting with a birthday post. In it, she and Yarmosky are seen embracing as they sing karaoke, with their smiling faces pressed against each other.  "Happy Birthday to the best of the best…" wrote Holmes, adding a heart emoji.

The next posts depict a vacation in Lake Como, depicting the couple sightseeing, sunbathing, and enjoying their time together. They were shared by Yarmosky and were featured on Holmes' own Instagram.
