Katie Holmes, 41, looks completely smitten as she shares a kiss with boyfriend Emilio Vitolo Jr, 33

The honeymoon period was still well and truly on as Katie Holmes shared a kiss with new boyfriend Emilio Vitolo, Jr on Tuesday. 

The actress, 41, looked completely smitten while canoodling with 33-year old Emilio during a day out in New York City. 

With her instantly recognisable face breaking into a smile, Katie cuffed the chef’s face as she leaned in to plant a kiss on his lips.   

The fashion conscious actress looked typically stylish in a long brown double-breasted overcoat, complimented with a yellow–orange long-sleeved hoodie. 

She added to her look with a relaxed pair of acid wash jeans, while black leather boots and matching Fedora hat rounded things off. 

Emilio complemented Katie’s looked with a beige, black and red houndstooth overcoat over a tan mock turtleneck.

He also wore black jeans and black leather boots, while covering up with a gray driving cap. 

Although their relationship has been moving fast, a source close to Katie told Entertainment Tonight last month that she is ‘playing by her own rules.’

‘They adore each other and can’t get enough of one another,’ the source said of the couple. 

They also confirmed that Katie and Emilio first met almost a year ago in the fall of 2019, but it wasn’t until this year that they began dating.

‘In the past it seemed like Katie would sort of mold to her partners’ lifestyle,’ the insider continued, ‘But with Emilio, Katie is so authentically herself.’

Katie’s approach to romance seems to have not endeared her to Emilio’s mother Lourdes, as Page Six reported in October that she was upset by their relationship.

DailyMail.com confirmed exclusively on September 10 that Emilio broke off his previous engagement with his live-in fiancée Rachel Emmons, 24, via text when handsy photos of him and Katie were first published. 

The handbag designer, who had been engaged to the restaurateur for 18 months, was left shocked and scrambling and had to move back home. 

‘[Lourdes] thinks she brought him up better than that,’ an insider said. ‘She didn’t like how [Emilio] handled this at all.’

However, another source painted a less rosy portrait of Vitolo and Emmons’ relationship.

‘He and his fiancée were taking it slow, and it wasn’t working out,’ they said. 

According to them, someone like Katie is more his speed.

‘He likes older women,’ they continued. ‘He dated an older anchor at Fox, and others, so he has a history with older women.’

Emilio and his actress girlfriend were first linked on September 1, while on an apparent date at the Mediterranean restaurant Antique Garage in Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood.

But the romantic nature of their relationship was unveiled later that week, when they were spotted kissing passionately at Manhattan’s Peasant Restaurant.

The relationship seems to be a drastic change from Katie’s previous MO, as she’s been unabashedly open about her new beau.

In contrast, she began dating fellow actor Jamie Foxx, 52, in 2013, but the two kept their relationship private for years until going public at the Met Gala in May 2019, shortly before they broke up. 

Prior to coupling up with Foxx, Holmes was married to Hollywood icon Tom Cruise.

The couple began their whirlwind courtship in 2005 and were married in seven weeks.

Katie filed for divorce in 2012, which was finalized after only ten days.

She and Cruise had welcomed their daughter Suri in 2006, who now spends her time with Katie, who has primary custody.
