Katie Holmes wears mask and tank top on solo NYC stroll… as ex Tom Cruise sees Tenet in UK cinema

Dawson’s Creek alum Katie Holmes wore a grey tank top, light blue jeans, and Birkenstock sandals for a solo stroll through Manhattan on Tuesday afternoon.

The Ohio-born 41-year-old made sure to protect herself and others from the coronavirus by wearing a black mask, which New York Governor Andrew Cuomo made mandatory for public outings way back on April 15.

As of Tuesday, there have been over 232K confirmed COVID-19 cases in New York City leading to 23,666 deaths – according to Johns Hopkins University.  

That same day, Katie – who boasts 2.1M Instagram followers – shared a slow-motion video of the brimming top of a fountain on a sunny, blue sky summer day captioned: ‘Watercolor.’

Meanwhile, Holmes’ ex-husband Tom Cruise – who’s in London shooting Mission: Impossible 7 – shared a video of himself masking up to catch a private screening of Christopher Nolan’s sci-fi epic Tenet.

‘Great to be back in a movie theater, everybody!’ the 58-year-old Oscar nominee yelled inside the packed cinema afterwards.

‘I loved [the movie]. I loved it.’ 

Warner Bros. releases the critically-acclaimed spy film ‘only in theaters’ starting Wednesday in the UK and September 3 in the States.

Tom and the Coda actress had 14-year-old daughter Suri from their six-year marriage, which ended in divorce in 2012.

Worryingly, Cruise hasn’t been pictured with his youngest child in seven years, even though his custody arrangement allots ’10 days a month of visitation’ – according to Us Weekly.

Some speculate Tom’s alleged estrangement has to do with Suri and Holmes ‘disavowing the Church of Scientology’ and devotees don’t associate with SPs (suppressive people). 

‘I like to keep [Suri] out of my interviews, but I will say that this time of quarantine has been such a lesson,’ the Boy II star told The Daily Telegraph this month.

‘Just really looking at everything you have and celebrating the simplicity of making dinner and [spending] that time together.’

Katie currently plays widowed mother-of-three Miranda Wells in Andy Tennant’s dismally-reviewed film The Secret: Dare to Dream, which is now streaming via VOD.

The Louisiana-set romantic drama – based on Rhonda Byrne’s 2006 self-help book – also features Josh Lucas, Jerry O’Connell, and Celia Weston.
