Katie Holmes and her reported boyfriend Emilio Vitolo Jr. have been enjoying their outings ever since September this year. The lovebirds were spotted furniture shopping this Sunday in New York City.

Holmes is usually tight-lipped about her relationships, but it seems things are different for the Batman Begins actress this time. She and her alleged boyfriend have been spotted all over the city exchanging PDAs and enjoying their time together.

According to Daily Mail, the duo spent time shopping for furniture this Sunday afternoon but was careful in following the COVID-19 norms as they wore face coverings to protect themselves. Holmes and the celebrity chef could be spotted holding their hands during the outing.

The Dawson’s Creek actress looked elegant as always in a white T-shirt and a pair of denim slacks. She styled her hair in a side parting while wearing it straight. Her love for gold necklaces was obvious once again during the outing.

Although Holmes reportedly met her boyfriend last year, they were publicly seen together for the first time in September this year. It was alleged that the celebrity chef was engaged to his live-in fiancée when he first started dating before splitting from her.

Meanwhile, Emilio Vitolo Jr. appeared excited after Katie Holmes featured on Vogue Australia’s cover recently. He took to the Story section of his Instagram page and wrote “Yazz baby.” He has now deleted the story.

It was one of those rare instances of PDA for the couple on social media. The duo was first seen enjoying a meal together in September this year at a Mediterranean restaurant called Antique Garage in New York City.

Emilio Vitolo Jr. is a chef in his father’s restaurant called Emilio’s Ballato in Soho, NYC. The restaurant is incredibly popular among the A-listers, including the former President of the United States, Barack Obama.

Holmes has been noncommittal about her love life after her divorce from Tom Cruise. Reports had it that she dated Jamie Foxx though she never confirmed her relationship.

In other news, though Holmes played the role of Dawes in Batman Begins, actress Maggie Gyllenhaal replaced her in the film The Dark Knight. Speculations were rife that Chris Nolan showed her the door as he was dissatisfied with her work in the first movie.

However, Katie Holmes revealed the actual sequence of events. She admitted enjoying acting in the first film and wants to work with the director once again. However, she thought it was the right decision for her to make at that time, according to CBR.
