Her high-profile romantic relationships have always been a hot topic among many tabloids.
Throughout her career, Katie Holmes has dated several famous faces in Hollywood. She had a real-life relationship with her on-screen partner Joshua Jackson, whom she dated for about a year until around 1999.

After her brief romance with the Dawson’s Creek star, Katie dated actor Chris Klein in 2000. They got engaged three years later but split in 2005 after five years of dating.

Is Katie Holmes Dating Again?
After her split from the Ray actor, Katie has been linked to several other popular men in the business, including Bradley Cooper, but none of the rumors were true.
Early this month, however, Katie appeared to have completely moved on with a new man.
The 41-year-old actress was spotted having dinner with Emilio Vitolo Jr., a 33-year-old New York-based chef, at Antique Garage in SoHo on September 1.
TMZ captured the new pair sharing laughs over a couple of glasses of wine. On Sunday night, the two stepped out again to grab dinner at Peasant Restaurant in Manhattan.
In the photos obtained exclusively by Daily Mail, Katie was seen kissing her new man while seated on his lap.
On Friday last week, however, Katie spent time alone and ran errands in New York City without her new boyfriend.

The magazine’s source revealed that Emilio ended their engagement when Katie showed him interest.
“In mid-August, Emilio and Rachel were still engaged and living together. He broke off the engagement abruptly the second Katie showed some interest. Rachel is shocked. They were planning a wedding and their future together. It’s like she never knew Emilio. They haven’t had any contact since he broke up with her”
According to Daily Mail, Emilio dumped his fiancée via text message after pictures of him getting flirty with Katie Holmes were posted.
A friend of Rachel told the tabloid: “Up to this press coming out Rachel had no idea what was going on. He is a cheater, and this isn’t a ‘happy ending’ story.”
Another friend of the designer told The Sun that Rachel and Emilio got together in February 2019 and were engaged a few months later. “It was a whirlwind romance but they were very much in love.”
In February of this year, Rachel posted a photo of her and Emilio showing off her engagement ring. She captioned the now-deleted picture: “My number one. Future husband and love of my life.”
The said friend also told the outlet: “Katie and Emilio were working on an indie movie together about a month ago, and Rachel knew that. He’s trying to get into acting, but nobody really knew who he was until this happened.”
“They were close while filming together, but she never saw this coming,” the friend added.
