Katie Holmes and her beau Emilio Vitolo Jr. were spotted together for the first time in 2021. They enjoyed a romantic walk together in New York City while relishing their coffee.

The pair have now made their relationship official on Instagram after using the “love” word on the platform. Vitolo Jr. posted a mushy message to celebrate Holmes’ 42nd birthday, and Holmes had an equally endearing response to his lovely wish.

The duo proved once again that they enjoy a terrific relationship as they were seen together on the roads while grabbing some coffee. The Batman Begins actress and the celebrity chef were spotted arm and arm as they passed the Greenwich Village.

The Dawson’s Creek alum looked stylish, donning a pair of jeans and a flap cap in black. She wore a black blazer over a turtleneck to keep herself warm and a pair of matching boots. 

Holmes accessorized her ensemble with a white tote bag and held an espresso shot and a coffee. It seems they had planned for a midday date as she went to meet Vitolo Jr. The actress had styled her hair in a low bun for this romantic outing with her boyfriend. 

Meanwhile, the chef sported an all-black outfit as he was dressed in a hoodie and a set of jeans. He also wore a t-shirt underneath the hoodie. The duo took care to take precautions against the coronavirus by donning matching white masks to cover their mouth and nose. 

The couple has been often seen exchanging PDAs, and Holmes is even believed to be close to her boyfriend’s dad. She has not only had meals with Vitolo Sr. at his restaurant but has also introduced her daughter Suri Cruise to her boyfriend, according to Daily Mail. 

While Katie Holmes is always known to be a doting mother, she made sure to spend Thanksgiving, as well as Christmas with Emilio Vitolo Jr. They spent the holidays watching old films together, cooking, drinking wine, and caroling, according to OK! Magazine, who quoted a source. 

Previously she romanced actor Jamie Foxx for six years but parted ways in 2019. However, Holmes is convinced that her new romance can go all the way, according to Us Weekly.

Off late, Holmes seems to have taken a keen interest in creative work. She has been spotted practicing her photography skills. The actress has also been seen purchasing canvases and paint from an NYC art supply store some time back.

It looks like Katie Holmes’ new relationship with Emilio Vitolo Jr. has led to her personal growth as well. After all, reports claim that she is madly in love with the restaurateur.
