People Editorial Guidelines Published on August 10, 2022 05:05PM EDT Photo: Christopher Peterson/Splash Katie Holmes and Bobby Wooten III are keeping it close, but not too close. Spotted on a casual walk through New York City's SoHo neighborhood on Monday, the couple were seen walking in black face masks. Holmes, 43, wore jeans and a button-down paired with Yuni Buffa "Pia" ballet flats, while Wooten, 33, wore a white T-shirt, beige pants and white sneakers. The couple were first romantically linked when they were photographed kissing and holding hands in April during a stroll through New York City's Central Park. They also took the subway and visited the Guggenheim Museum. The Dawson's Creek star's mom Kathy joined them for the afternoon out. She was seen giving Wooten a hug in one picture. A month after their date, the pair made their red carpet debut on May 26 at the Moth's 25th Anniversary Gala at Spring Studios in New York City, where Wooten presented his collaborator (and former Talking Heads frontman) David Byrne with an award.

The two held hands on the red carpet, laughing and embracing while posing for photos. Wooten recently played at Coachella with Carly Rae Jepsen. He has also been nominated for a Grammy Award in the past, serves as an adjunct instructor at NYU Tisch School of the Arts and is from Chicago.

"He is getting to know her family," the insider said of the composer, who is currently playing bass in Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Broadway. "Katie is having a great time with Bobby," the source added. "He is very kind and happy. He makes her laugh." Holmes was previously married to Cruise for six years before their 2012 breakup. She was later linked to Jamie Foxx for several years before they broke up in 2019, and most recently dated chef Emilio Vitolo Jr. for eight months before the relationship ended in April 2021.
