Katie Holmes fell for dishy Italian chef who split from girlfriend after kiss
EXCLUSIVE: Dawson's Creek star Katie is seen smooching with chef and budding actor Emilio Vitolo Jr after being devastated by a break-up with Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx
Tom Cruise’s ex has fallen for a dishy Italian who is really hot in the kitchen.
Katie Holmes, 41, has found the recipe for love with chef and budding actor Emilio Vitolo Jr, who is also teaching her to cook.
The Dawson’s Creek star and Emilio, 33, first met in his dad’s New York restaurant where he is a chef.
She has been a regular at the restaurant and used to go there when dating actor Jamie Foxx, 52.
A source said: “Katie, who is not the best cook, asked Emilio to help hone her skills when she moved back to New York as she’d been getting fed-up with always ordering in and cooking the same thing.

“He’s been practically living at Katie’s apartment. They are already talking about moving in together.
“He’s also keen to become a dad and have children and with Katie.
"She’s told friends that although it’s early days she’d ‘100 per cent’ have another baby with him.”
She’s told friends her romance with Emilio “is the strongest she’s felt about a man since first falling for Tom”.
She and Tom split in 2012 after six years of marriage and have a 14-year-old daughter, Suri.
Katie has not tried to hide her budding relationship with Emilio Jr and is often seen with him at his dad’s Manhattan eaterie, Emilio’s Ballato.
Earlier this month it emerged that Emilio broke up with fiancée Rachel Emmons, 24, via text when the photos of him kissing Katie went public.
An insider said: “Katie insists she had nothing to do with their split which would have happened anyway as they were unhappy.”
Ballato is a trendy hotspot with ex US President Barack Obama among its customers.
