They have appeared to be attached at the hip since going public with their relationship in early September.

And on Monday Katie Homes and beau Emilio Vitolo Jr were spotted snuggling up and holding hands during a stroll in the Soho neighborhood in Downtown Manhattan.

With the COVID-19 pandemic escalating in New York in recent weeks, the lovebirds made sure to wear protective masks until they reached their destination and went inside.

The Batman Begins star, 41, kept it fashionably casual in blue denim jeans, a white sweater and a pair of white sneakers.

She covered up in a baby blue overcoat that came down past her knees and a matching scarf.

On this day, she pulled her dark brown tresses up into a loose but elevated bun as she was all eyes on her new man behind stylish sunglasses.

Vitolo Jr. 33, looked casual cool in dark blue denim jeans, a white sweater and black boots.

With the brisk autumn air upon the Big Apple, the actor and restauranteur also donned a black overcoat that fell to just past his mid thigh.

He had his short dark hair in a classic slick back style for his afternoon excursion with his new ladylove. 

The new couple often spend time at Vitolo Jr’s family restaurant, Emilio’s Ballata, which is owned by his father, Emilio Vitolo Sr. The younger Emilio serves as the chef at the celebrity hotspot in Soho.
