Katie Holmes can’t stop laughing as she holds on to her beau Emilio Vitolo Jr’s arm during a stroll in New York City

Katie Holmes was spotted surfacing from lockdown in New York this week arm in arm with her dashing beau Emilio Vitolo Jr.

Katie and her boyfriend both took the precaution of wearing masks as they stepped out amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Meanwhile her sizzling boyfriend cut a dapper figure in a camel-colored turtleneck under a perfectly fitted checked coat. 

Nearly two weeks ago Katie hinted on social media that the man in her life had given her a dozen roses for Valentine’s Day. 

Emilio, a heartthrob chef who runs the restaurant Emilio’s Ballato with his father, has been linked to Katie since last September.

While in lockdown Katie has also been spending time with her 14-year-old daughter Suri whom she shares with her ex-husband Tom Cruise. 

After her divorce from celebrity Scientologist Tom, Katie spent years dating Jamie Foxx, whom she split from in 2019. 

Katie and Jamie only went public as a couple in late 2017, though there had been speculation they were an item since 2013.

There was a swirl of rumors that Katie’s divorce agreement prohibited her from publicly dating anyone for five years after her 2012 split with Tom.

The Batman Begins actress initially began dating Tom in 2005, and seven weeks into the relationship, they were engaged. 

Their Scientologist wedding was held at the Castello Orsini-Odescalchi in Bracciano in November 2006, seven months after their daughter Suri was born.

Katie filed in 2012 for a divorce that was finalized only 10 days later, with Suri’s mother retaining primary custody, though Tom could visit, according to People.

Ron Miscavige, father of Scientology leader David Miscavige, told the MailOnline in 2016 that Katie’s misgivings about Scientology – including the effect it could have on Suri – contributed to her decision to leave Tom.

Tom has not been pictured with Suri in seven years and an Us Weekly source alleged in 2018: ‘Every person is allowed to see their child if they wanted to. He chooses not to because she is not a Scientologist.’
