Katie Holmes has gone public with her romance with bass player to the stars Bobby Wooten III, a year after breaking up with chef Emilio Vitolo Jr.
The actress, 43, was pictured holding hands and passionately kissing the musician and actor during an outing in Central Park in New York this week .
Katie looked happier than ever as her mother, Kathy, joined them at one point and gave him a hug as the couple headed to Guggenheim Museum.
In snaps shared by People, the Batman Begins star wore white dungarees over a blue sweater as she strolled with Bobby.
Meanwhile, Bobby - who played the bass for Moulin Rouge - rocked a pair of navy trousers along with a blue jacket and a light blue button-up shirt.
In one picture, he had his arm around the star as she laughed at something he was saying.
Mirror have contacted Katie's representatives for comment.
Katie's new romance comes a year after she split from Emilio.
The actress and the chef were together for eight months and were constantly pictured packing on the PDA around New York City.
However, their romance soon came to an end, with a spokesperson telling Us Weekly: "The pair have parted ways amicably but remain friends."
Speaking of her time with Emilio, sources said while the former couple enjoyed their time together, things simply didn't work out and that Katie was focusing on motherhood and her career instead.
It had been reported in November 2021 that the relationship was beginning to fizzle out.
A source told Page Six at the time: "Katie has a lot of big priorities in her life — she’s a single mom, her daughter [Suri] always comes first and things were moving very fast."
Katie and Emilio were first linked in September 2020 and went Instagram official in December that same year.

As Emilio shared the snap of Katie sat on his lap, he penned: "The most amazing, kindest, beautiful person. Every time I see your face it makes me smile. Happy Birthday !!! I love you !!"
From 2013 to 2019, Katie was dating Jamie Foxx. The couple even frequented the restaurant Emilio worked at.
