Katie Holmes does not like to discuss her private life with fans, but things seem to be different this time around. She and her alleged beau Emilio Vitolo Jr. were recently spotted enjoying a quiet meal together.

The Batman Begins actress was tight-lipped about her relationship with Jamie Foxx in the past. Holmes is known to be fiercely protective about her privacy, but her rumored romance with the celebrity chef looks like a different ball game altogether. 

What makes her romance with the chef special and different is that she has had no qualms about sharing PDAs with her boyfriend. Even though the situation seems uncertain amid the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the duo is, reportedly, going strong. 

The actress has been spending a lot of time with her boyfriend’s family though it is uncertain whether Vitolo Jr. can return the favors in these difficult times or not. Holmes’ family lives in Ohio and it may not be easy for the chef to visit them now (via Entertainment Times). 

Meanwhile, a source has claimed that the Jack and Jill actress feels blessed to have such a kind-hearted and simple guy in the form of Vitolo Jr. in her life. The tipster snitched that the 33-year-old chef treats his girlfriend like a princess (via Us Weekly).  

The Dawson’s Creek alum and the NYC-based chef were recently seen relishing a meal at Emilio’s Ballato, his family restaurant this Tuesday. The restaurant is set in the bustling Manhattan locality of NYC and is a hot favorite with several celebrities, including Barack Obama, the United States president. 

Holmes looked delightful and fresh in a pair of black slacks, which she wore with a black bra top that flaunted her toned tummy. Her beau gave her company and his dad Emilio Vitolo Sr. during lunch. 

It was time to give a warm hug to each other before they left the eatery. Emilio Vitolo Jr. looked elated and had a smile on his face. Katie Holmes did not forget to cover her face with a protective black mask as she went to her home after the meal. 

While the duo met for the first time last year, they have been an item since this September. Outlets have been crazy writing about their alleged romance though the actress is yet to come out in the open and confirm her relationship. 

Katie Holmes was dating Jamie Foxx before her alleged romance with the chef but split from him last year. Reports have it that the pair were going around since 2013 though they never confirmed their romance, Daily Mail reports.
