Katie Holmes and new boyfriend Bobby Wooten III make red carpet debut

Woot(en), there it is!

Katie Holmes and her new boyfriend, Bobby Wooten III, made their red carpet debut as a couple.

The actress, 43, and the musician, 33, attended the Moth Ball’s 25th Anniversary Gala on Thursday night at Spring Studios in New York City.

Holmes, who wore an orange dress by Jonathan Simkhai, and Wooten, clad in a green Paul Smith suit, cozied up together while posing for photographers at the event. They accessorized their looks with wide smiles.

The pair’s Manhattan outing comes one month after they confirmed their romance with a PDA-packed stroll through Central Park.

The “Dawson’s Creek” alum and the Grammy-nominated composer were spotted sharing a passionate kiss during the daytime date. At one point, Holmes even stuck her hand down the back of Wooten’s pants.

Wooten has already met Holmes’ mother, Kathy, who joined them in the park. The lovebirds were seen chatting with her in between smooches.

This marks Holmes’ first public relationship since splitting from chef Emilio Vitolo Jr. in May 2021.

Holmes and Vitolo, 34, were seemingly inseparable during their eight-month relationship and were frequently photographed kissing all over the Big Apple, including her beloved Central Park.

“Katie has a lot of big priorities in her life,” a source told us at the time, explaining why Holmes called it quits with the celebrity restaurateur despite their chemistry.

“She’s a single mom, her daughter [Suri] always comes first, and things were moving very fast,” the insider added.

Prior to Vitolo, Holmes dated Jamie Foxx for six years and was married to Tom Cruise from 2006 to 2012. She shares 16-year-old Suri with the “Top Gun” actor, 59.
