Who Is Emilio Vitolo Jr., Katie Holmes’ New Chef Boyfriend?

Actress Katie Holmes has a new boyfriend and the two have been inseparable.

The Dawson’s Creek alum, 41, and her beau, 33-year-old chef Emilio Vitolo Jr. were first seen out together last month at a Manhattan restaurant. They were later photographed sharing some passionate kisses. Most recently, the pair were spotted kissing during a Sunday out. A source told People that the pair have been talking nonstop.

“Emilio is very charming, flirty. It’s easy to see how Katie fell for him,” the source said. “She seems very into him. She keeps texting Emilio all day long and he loves it. He can’t get enough of her attention.”

It seems that Holmes and Vitolo have known each other for a couple of months, judging by a comment Vitolo left on Holmes’ Instagram back in July.

The chef works at his father’s famous family-run restaurant, Emilio’s Ballato, which is frequented by a lot of celebrities. The actress most recently starred in the movie The Secret: Dare to Dream. She was previously married to Tom Cruise, with whom she had daughter Suri Cruise, 14. She was also dating Jamie Foxx for many years until the pair split in 2019.
