Katie Holmes is dating a new man, musician Bobby Wooten

Katie Holmes has been laying kind of low on the boyfriend front since her split with chef Emilio Vitolo. Other than a brief scare the press tried to fabricate about her and Alex Rodriquez, we haven’t seen Katie with anybody. Until this weekend. The latest guy Katie brought out for her PDA stroll around New York is musician Bobby Wooten III. He got the full treatment, too. The couple took in the Guggenheim and walked hand in hand through Central Park. They stopped for a few big ol’ pap-worthy kisses. Katie’s mom even got a cameo this time when she met the couple on the bustling street.

Katie Holmes is all smiles with a new man in her life.

The actress, 43, was seen kissing and holding hands with musician Bobby Wooten III in N.Y.C. Thursday, in photos obtained exclusively by PEOPLE.

Holmes and Wooten smiled as they walked hand-in-hand, each holding a drink and dressed casually for the outing.

The Batman Begins star looked comfortable and chic in overalls over a white shirt, finishing her look in a blue cardigan, white sneakers and sunglasses. Wooten, meanwhile, wore a blue jacket over a gray button-up, dark pants, white sneakers and sunglasses.

At one point during the outing, Holmes and Wooten were spotted with her mother Kathy Holmes. Kathy was seen giving Wooten a hug.

The loved-up pair took the subway and visited the Guggenheim Museum and Central Park.

So who is Bobby Wooten III? He’s a Grammy-nominated musician. He was one of the stars of David Byrne’s American Utopia, both the Broadway show and Spike Lee’s documentary. His Instagram has several samples of his work. He also backed up Carly Rae Jepson at Coachella just a few weekends ago – he must be exhausted! What I didn’t know is that he’s an adjunct professor at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts – color me impressed. And he’s very cute. According to Page Six, Bobby is 33, which is how old Emilio was when Katie and he started up. Maybe that’s her lucky number?

So, is this the one for Katie? *shrug* She’s probably just having fun for now. Despite appearances, that’s all Emilio turned out to be. And unlike Emilio, Bobby doesn’t have any need for Katie’s fame. So this looks like a nice summer fling and lucky for us, Katie’s decided it will play out in front of the cameras again. The only disturbing part of this situation is, judging by these photos, they both favor the baggy house-painter look and I’m not here for that.

    Katie looks like an elf from Lord of the Rings.

    Baggy housepainter is accutate & I’ll pass.

    I want her to be happy, but these photos are so cringey to me. They are both very aware of the cameras.

    • Trimdownmnchyboring says:

      Yay! Katie fashion! Her looks are so fun to look at! And ladies, whether you like it or not, we’re all gonna be wearing those large jeans at some point! Weren’t they cool at the beginning of the 90’s? Im jumping right back into it.

    • BothSidesNow says:

      @ Smart&Messy, I too want her to be happy but the painters pants have to go! If you must wear them, maybe a cuter top and different shoes? IDK, I have never worn them so I am lost.

  3. Jam says:

    Why, in all honesty–desperate to know, do they do these laughing their head off pap strolls? Who are they for? To what purpose? Like, is it about Tom? Or promoting a project? Or just ensuring the paps don’t get the upper hand?

    • Twin Falls says:

      Because the world is full of shitty news right now and pictures of a newly smitten, drama free couple are a nice change?

      I’m here for her comfy house painter look. She looks happy and spring like and comfortable. Shrug.

    • Josephine says:

      I don’t understand them either, but maybe it’s their way of controlling the story and putting the relationship out there as they want it to appear, in this case, light-hearted and sweet? I do miss Emilio’s streetwear. Let’s hope these two are bringing some cute looks if they are going to continue the pap strolls!

    Carhartt painter pants .. love them.. Gen X might be the only ones who get it.. but following gens will get to nostalge over their skinny’s or whatever lol.. our basis for comparison comes from a different place and time x

    • StellainNH says:

      I loved my painters pants in the early 80s!! I was just talking ab That style a couple weeks ago..

    • Skyblue says:

      I loved my painter pants from the early 80’s and then on repeat in the early 00s. They’re my favorite pants to wear when I’m feeling thin.

  5. TIFFANY says:

    And Bobby is connected as well. Spike also is a professor at Tisch.

    I think this one will last a minute. He has a whole job and career himself, so I don’t think the pap pics are gonna be recurring.

    And he is a CUTIE !!!

    Suri is, what 16, 17?

    Katie, go on and have that fun girl.

  6. L4Frimaire says:

    I Holmes would be mentioned for acting rather than who she’s dating. Does she even act anymore.

  7. JRenee says:

    Staged or not, the pictures don’t bother me…as long as she and Suri are not endangered by the culture. Have fun !

  8. OverUnder says:

    I am actually obsessed with these overalls and I need them. Does anyone know where I can get an ID on the brand?
