Katie Holmes already has a new partner! Famous New York actress and boss Emilio Vitolo Jr. were recently seen being associated with the Big Apple and, of course, the news ‘broke the internet’.

In early September, the actress was photographed drinking something with the culinary expert at Antique Garage in SoHo, wearing a gray vest and jeans, while he was wearing a white blouse and jeans. The pair were seen laughing throughout their meeting together, fueling speculation that there might be something more than friendship between them. Emilio is 8 years younger than Katie and does not have her fame, however she has friendships with many celebrities.

Holmes is very discreet when it comes to privacy. The 41-year-old has a daughter, Suri Cruise, with her ex-husband, actor Tom Cruise, and a year ago ended her 6-year relationship with actor Jamie Foxx.

While the relationship with Emilio Vitolo Jr. is the first for the actress since splitting from Foxx.

The couple was photographed kissing while in Manhattan. They looked relaxed as they removed their face masks to exchange a kiss.

The 33-year-old is a chef at Emilio's Ballato in SoHo - a restaurant bought by his father, Emilio Vitolo Sr. in the 1990s. In recent years, the entire Vitolo family (father, mother and three sons) have joined the restaurant.

"It's a commitment seven days a week," Emilio Jr. recently told InStyle. "If you want to make a restaurant the right way, you should always be there ..."

His restaurant is a place often frequented by the rich and famous, including Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Bradley Cooper, Lenny Kravitz, the Obama family and more.
