And though the loved-up couple are still in the early stages of their romance, Katie doesn’t worry about how quickly their relationship has progressed.

A source told Us Weekly: ‘She doesn’t care what people may say about rushing into the romance.

‘In her mind, this is the real deal, they’re riding a beautiful wave together and she’s already decided it’s got the potential to go all the way.’

Katie – who has Suri, 14, with her ex-husband – previously dated movie star Jamie Foxx.

However, the celebrity duo always made a concerted effort to keep their relationship low-key, before they ended their romance in August 2019.
