Katie Holmes looked chic as she celebrated her 42nd birthday with a romantic winter stroll in New York City on Friday, accompanied by her boyfriend Emilio Vitolo Jr. The actress bundled up in a long black coat, jazzy red and white checked trousers, and chunky black boots, carrying a beige shopper bag. She wore a white face mask and let her brunette hair cascade over her shoulders.
Emilio, 33, cut a dapper figure in a blue blazer over a black polo shirt, dark jeans, and black shoes, also wearing a black face mask. The couple appeared relaxed as they enjoyed fresh air after a heavy snowstorm the previous day.
The pair went Instagram official on Holmes' birthday, with Vitolo posting a sweet tribute: 'The most amazing, kindest, beautiful person ❤️. Every time I see your face it makes me smile . Happy Birthday !!! I love you !!' Holmes replied, 'Thank you so much my Love❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I love u too!!!!!'
An insider revealed last month that Holmes is 'on cloud nine' about her romance, saying Vitolo treats her 'like a total princess.' The source added: '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.'
Holmes, who was previously married to Tom Cruise and dated Jamie Foxx, was first linked to the restaurateur in September. Despite the early stage of their relationship, 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.'
