Katie Holmes apparently has a new love: Photos show the actress sitting in a restaurant on her newcomer's lap.
Now there are actually no more excuses: Actress Katie Holmes (41, "Dawson's Creek") seems to be freshly in love. Photos from the "Daily Mail" at least confirm the rumors that have been surrounding her and the 33-year-old chef and restaurant owner Emilio Vitolo Jr. for a few days. In the pictures from Sunday, the 41-year-old sits visibly in love in a restaurant in Manhattan in New York on her lover's lap and cannot take her lips or eyes off him.
And who is the new one? Emilio is the son of the Italian Emilio Vitolo, who opened the restaurant "Emilio's Ballato" in SoHo in the 1990s. An establishment where stars Justin Bieber (26), Rihanna (32) and Bradley Cooper (45) regularly dine. The former US President Barack Obama (59) has also been seen eating there. The chef is generally a welcome guest among celebrities, it seems: Sophie Turner (24) and Joe Jonas (31) are among his closest friends, as you can see on his Instagram account. He has also appeared in front of the camera several times in smaller roles, for example for "Inside Amy Schumer".
Public turtling is a rather unusual behavior for Katie Holmes: The actress is known for keeping her relationships as private as possible. From 2006 to 2012, she was married to Hollywood star Tom Cruise (58), followed by a liaison with actor Jamie Foxx (52), which is said to have ended last year.
