Katie Holmes and Emilio Vitolo Jr. were first reported to be out on a romantic date at the beginning of this month. On Monday, the rumored lovebirds were seen hand in hand as they explored the Big Apple. 

The 41-year-old actress and her 33-year-old beau took a leisurely walk with their hands clasped while exploring the world-renowned Wall Street area. The Batman Begins actress appeared fresh though her nose and mouth were covered behind a protective face mask. 

The Dawson’s Creek alum had left her brunette hair in its natural wave, which enhanced her look further. Meanwhile, Vitolo’s family owns a renowned Italian restaurant called Emilio’s Ballato in New York City and he looked dapper in his classy peacoat and slicked hair. 

The young chef also donned a pair of denim jeans and a blue t-shirt, thus exuding a stylish but casual look. Vitolo also covered his face with a mask just like his reported girlfriend for this romantic outing.

He was chivalrous enough to drive his famous girlfriend in his red Pontiac and took her to her Soho apartment. 

The First Daughter actress had a black-colored Sharkchaser bag over her shoulder and she took a package from her home. She then returned to her beau who was waiting for her in his parked car. 

The Jack and Jill star could be seen chuckling at Vitolo as she sat down in the car and looked incredibly happy and light-hearted. The lovebirds seemed to have a great time while making several stops in between.

Katie Holmes has lately become public in demonstrating her emotions with Emilio Vitolo Jr. The actress is frequently seen visiting him at his dad’s famous restaurant in Manhattan. 

An insider, reportedly, shared with People magazine that the actress is incredibly besotted with her recent boyfriend and keeps on sending him text messages. The tipster added he loves to get attention from the actress.  

It was earlier confirmed by Daily Mail that Vitolo ended his relationship with the 24-year-old Rachel Emmons, who was his live-in fiancé. The news was shared by the publication on Sept. 10, 2020.

The 33-year-old declared his intention to end the relationship by sending her a text message when pictures of him kissing the actress went viral. The surprise split compelled the young handbag designer to pack her bags and go back to her parents’ house. 

It was also revealed that Emilio Vitolo Jr. and Katie Holmes’s friendship have seen an upward trend since October last year. The actress seems to be unconcerned about her beau’s engagement episode.
