Katie teamed her coat with jazzy red and white checked trousers and chunky black boots, while she carried her essentials in a beige shopper bag.

The beauty left her brunette tresses to cascade over her shoulders for the low-key outing, while she covered her face in a white face mask.

Meanwhile, Emilio cut a dapper figure in a blue blazer worn over a black polo shirt, teaming this with dark jeans, black shoes and a black face mask.

The couple appeared relaxed as they enjoyed some cool fresh air, following their declaration of love on social media.

It comes after an insider revealed last month that the actress is ‘on cloud nine’ about her romance with Emilio.

The Dawson’s Creek alum is loving life with her new boyfriend, who treats her ‘like a total princess’.

An insider shared: ‘She feels so blessed to be with a centered, down-to-earth, kindhearted companion who isn’t affected by the fame and puts happiness and traditional values first.’

The brunette beauty – who was previously married to fellow Hollywood star Tom Cruise – was first linked to the 33-year-old chef in September.

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.
