Katie Holmes and Beau Emilio Vitolo Jr. Take a Sweet Stroll Around N.Y.C. After Some Shopping

Katie Holmes and Emilio Vitolo Jr. are going strong!

On Monday, the 41-year-old actress walked beside her chef beau, 33, as the pair strolled the streets of New York City following a shopping trip in the SoHo neighborhood.

Donning a long, brown-colored coat, the actress styled the look with a white t-shirt, a pair of wide-legged jeans, white sneakers and a stylish gold necklace. Meanwhile, Vitolo Jr. sported a dark-colored coat with similarly colored pants and a sweater, alongside a pair of black dress shoes.

Vitolo Jr. was seen holding onto two bags of items from a store as Holmes held tightly to a cushion, walking closely beside her boyfriend.

The pair also both wore face masks amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

The couple — who were first seen together at a dinner in early September — have made their romance known over the past few months.

After they first went public, Holmes and Vitolo Jr. have been spotted out and about throughout New York City, putting their relationship, and their PDA, on full display.

In late September, the pair were photographed walking and holding hands in the city after taking a ride in Vitolo Jr.'s red Pontiac from the actress' home to Wall Street. Then, earlier this month, the pair were also seen linking arms while walking through SoHo, as both the actress and the celebrity chef bundled up for their outing as the weather begins to cool in Manhattan.

A source previously told PEOPLE that Holmes and Vitolo Jr. have been speaking almost nonstop.

"Emilio is very charming, flirty. It’s easy to see how Katie fell for him,"  the source said. "She seems very into him. She keeps texting Emilio all day long and he loves it."

The chef works at his father's celebrity-beloved restaurant, Emilio's Ballato. Bought by Emilio Vitolo Sr. in the early '90s, the restaurant is run by Vitolo Sr.'s family.

"It's a seven-day-a-week commitment," Vitolo Jr. once told InStyle. "If you’re going to do a restaurant the right way, you always have to be there."

Holmes was previously married to Tom Cruise and they share daughter Suri Cruise, 14. The private actress was also linked to Jamie Foxx for several years before they split in 2019.
