Katie Holmes has been practically inseparable with boyfriend Emilio Vitolo Jr.
And the Dawson’s Creek star appears to be getting serious in her new relationship, which they recently made Instagram official.
She was all smiles under her white face mask Sunday, as she bundled up in a black overcoat for a romantic stroll, holding hands with her beau in New York City.

The 42-year-old layered the coat over a black top with high-waisted white trousers and a pair of black leather booties, while carrying a black leather purse over her shoulder.
She walked arm-in-arm with Vitolo Jr, 33, who looked sharp in a charcoal overcoat with a blue button-down shirt, grey tartan slacks and a pair of black and blue leather wingtip shoes.
A source told People last month of the blossoming relationship: ‘They are having fun. Emilio has had a lot of stress this year because of the shutdowns that have affected the restaurant business. Katie is very supportive. Their relationship is cheering him up.’
The insider added: ‘Since Katie is not working, they have had time to really get to know each other. Emilio thinks their relationship will continue to be strong in the new year. When things return to a more normal and Katie is working again, they will figure it out. For now, they enjoy all their time together in New York City.’

Holmes and the restauranteur were first romantically linked in September, when they were spotted on a dinner date in SoHo.
The couple seems to be joined at the hip, as they’ve since put their love on display with some hand holding and kissing around the city.
A source told Us Weekly back in October: ‘Emilio and Katie act like young teens in love when they are together. Emilio lights up when she enters his restaurant and they kiss and hug like they haven’t seen each other in forever, but really they see each other almost every day.’

They added: ‘Emilio is into Katie. Whenever he’s asked about her, he blushes and smiles. They are always laughing when they’re together. It’s constant smiles and loving looks between them and Emilio’s friends more than approve of Katie. They think she’s so great for him.’

Another insider told Us Weekly in September: ‘Katie has no ill will toward Jamie, but she has completely moved on from him and just thinks of Jamie in a friend type of way now.’
They also revealed that she ‘is happy she can be free and comfortable with her relationship with Emilio and doesn’t need for it to be private, like her past relationship with Jamie Foxx was.’
Holmes and Foxx’s relationship came after she was married to his pal Tom Cruise, 58, from 2006 to 2012, sharing daughter Suri, 14.
