Katie Holmes' New Man!

KingstonsMom · ‎03-09-2010

Emilio Vitolo Jr., Katie Holmes' new flame, is a restaurateur and native New Yorker who, despite his more humble upbringing, is no stranger to the world of celebrities.

The 33-year-old is often found in his father's iconic Nolita restaurant, Emilio's Ballato, greeting diners and taking their order.

He and his brother, Anthony, man the kitchen with help from their father Emilio Vitolo, who is omnipresent.

The restaurant has put the family in touch with a plethora of stars. On social media, the younger Emilio regularly shares photographs of famous dinner guests.

Among them are Barack and Malia Obama, Bella Hadid, Danny DeVito, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner and David Schwimmer. In a recent profile in Instyle, he spoke of their work.

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

'But on Sundays my father was never the cook. My mother, who’s from Peru, would make us dishes like chicken and rice instead,' he said. It's unclear when he and Katie met or started their romance.

@sunshine45

They broke up last year after 5 years 'together', when he started dating a very young 'protege'.

Thanks for the good news. I think she'll be happier with him than she was with Tom Cruise.

Looks like he should have changed his shirt before the photo shoot. LOL

Hope she is happy.

Fear not Brothers and Sisters! I have read THE BOOK..........we win!!!

@ValuSkr

I so agree! It's about time she found some happiness!

She's been a great Mom to Suri, while Tom hasn't seen his daughter since the split.

Katie and Suri became 'persona non grata' when they left Tom and Scientology.

Smart lady, who's always had Suri's best interest at heart.

Suri had reached the age of when Scientology starts 'indoctrinating' children.

My first thought on seeing his photo was Ray Liotta in Goodfellas.

Definitely a resemblance there!

Katie is such a sweetheart and devoted mother! I By all accounts, she has been an exemplary role model for Suri, in an industry where not every mother is deserving of such distinction.😊

I wish her MUCH success and happiness in this new relationship, and hope that his aspirations are genuine.😊

~~~All we need is LOVE💖
