‘Emilio has had a lot of stress this year because of the shutdowns that have affected the restaurant business,’ the source said. ‘Their relationship is cheering him up.’
Holmes has also had newfound availability with the entertainment industry largely shutting down amid the coronavirus pandemic.
‘Since Katie is not working, they have had time to really get to know each other. Emilio thinks their relationship will continue to be strong in the new year,’ the source said. ‘When things return to a more normal and Katie is working again, they will figure it out. For now, they enjoy all their time together in New York City.’

Holmes was married to Cruise, 58, between 2006 and 2012, and she’d been linked to Cruise’s Collateral costar Jamie Foxx since 2013. The duo, who never went public with their relationship, reportedly split in 2019.
Katie was last seen with her daughter Suri over the weekend. They were at ABC Carpet & Home in New York City getting in some pre-holiday shopping.
