Katie Holmes Biography:

Born two months premature at four pounds, Kate Noelle Holmes made her first appearance on December 18, 1978, in Toledo, Ohio. She is the daughter of Kathleen Ann (Craft), a philanthropist, and Martin Joseph Holmes, Sr., a lawyer. She is of German, Irish, and English ancestry. Her parents have said that her strong-willed personality is probably due to her early birth. Being the youngest in the Holmes clan, completing the family of three other sisters and one brother, Katie was always the baby.

As a teenager, she began attending modeling school. When she was sixteen, her teacher invited her to go to a modeling competition with other girls from her class. She competed in the International Modeling and Talent Association by singing, dancing, and reciting a monologue from To Kill a Mockingbird (1962). By the end of that time in New York, Katie won many awards. But she said she didn’t want to model because it wasn’t challenging enough. So when she was seventeen, Katie went to Los Angeles to audition for movies. Luckily, on her second audition, she was cast in the movie, The Ice Storm (1997), directed by Ang Lee. Katie’s character was Libbets Casey, a rich New Yorker, who is pursued by two of the main characters. It was a small part, but it marked the beginning of her professional acting career.

After the excitement of her first movie, Katie began sending in audition tapes for pilot shows. During that time, she was also starring in her all-girls Catholic high school musical, Damn Yankees, as Lola. After Kevin Williamson received her audition tape for his new show, Dawson’s Creek (1998), the producers wanted her to come to Hollywood right away and read live for them. But because they wanted her to come on the opening night for Damn Yankees, Katie had to tell them she couldn’t make it. Fortunately, the show’s producers wanted her so much for that role, they rescheduled her callback and the result was she got the part as Joey Potter. During her first year with Dawson’s Creek (1998), Katie was able to do two movies, Disturbing Behavior (1998) and Go (1999), and, for the former, she won Best Breakthrough Female Performance at the 1999 MTV Movie Awards.

The following year, she starred next to Michael Douglas in Wonder Boys (2000), playing Hannah Green, a published author and a boarder at her teacher’s (Douglas) house, who has a crush on him, and tries to seduce him. Her first leading role came in 2002, with Abandon (2002). She played a college student named Katie Burke, who is haunted by the mysterious disappearance of her boyfriend who vanished two years prior. With Dawson’s Creek (1998) coming to a close after six years in May of 2003, it was a bittersweet moment for all the cast. Accustomed to being in North Carolina filming ten months out of a year, the cast members now had the opportunity to make more movies.

Katie demonstrated this in October, when she had two new movies, Pieces of April (2003) and The Singing Detective (2003), coming out in that month alone. Pieces of April (2003) is a charming Thanksgiving movie about April (Holmes), the black sheep of her family, who wants to give her family the perfect dinner before her mother passes on. The Singing Detective (2003) is a dark musical where the main character (Robert Downey Jr.) was a writer in a hospital for skin conditions who writes a dark world of seduction and murder in his mind. Katie Holmes played the kind Nurse Mills who tends to his every need. She also gets to lip sync and dance in this movie. In 2004, she starred in the romantic movie First Daughter (2004), in which she played the President’s (Michael Keaton) daughter, Samantha, who wants to go to college without any Secret Service tagging along. In 2005, Holmes co-starred in Batman Begins (2005), where she played Rachel Dawes, a childhood sweetheart and love interest to Batman/Bruce Wayne.

Katie has a daughter with her ex-husband, Tom Cruise.

Katie Holmes Other Projects and Pursuits:

She started her own high fashion clothing line in 2008 along with stylist Jeanne Yang, named Holmes & Yang. They presented their fashion line for the first time at New York Fashion Week in September 2012. Additionally, she is co-owner of Alterna Haircare, and was announced as official ambassador for the brand in January 2013.

Katie Holmes Personal Life:

Holmes previously dated her “Dawson’s Creek” co-star Joshua Jackson, and was engaged to actor Christ Klein from late 2003 to 2005. She began dating actor Tom Cruise in April 2005, and gave birth to their daughter Suri in April 2006. They tied the knot in November 2006 in Bracciano, Italy.

She filed for divorce from Cruise during the summer of 2012, and announced that their then-six-year-old daughter would begin schooling in New York City after previously being home-schooled. After her divorce with Cruise, Holmes left Scientology, which she began studying shortly after she began dating him in 2005, and returned to the Catholic Church; she now attends St. Francis Xavier Church. After splitting with Cruise, she dated actor and musician Jamie Foxx; the couple split in 2019.

Tom Cruise Divorce Settlement:

Tom and Katie were married from 2006 to 2012. Their union produced one daughter, Suri. Tom went into the marriage with a net worth of $250 million, Katie’s net worth was around $10 million. With much more to protect, Tom insisted on having a rock solid prenuptial agreement. The terms of their divorce require Tom to pay Katie $400,000 per year in child support for 12 years (until the year 2024).

That’s $33,000 per month, a total of $4.8 million when it’s all said and done. Tom also must pay for Suri’s medical expenses, education, insurance and any extra curricular activities. Katie has full-custody of Suri and has chosen to not raise their daughter with Scientology. Katie did NOT receive any form of spousal support or lump sum cash payment. It has been reported that Katie opted not to seek a dime in spousal support in order to receive full custody and control of Suri’s upbringing.

Katie Holmes’ daughter:

Suri Cruise is the daughter of Katie Holmes, she is already into her teens. She is 15 years old and will turn sixteen very soon. Holmes is known to be intensely private about her personal life, especially when it comes to her daughter.

When Suri’s not out by herself or with pals, she’s often seen with her mom. The look-alike mother-daughter duo rocked matching cardigans while out separately in the Big Apple on Feb. 9, but there were a number of times last year, when they were seen together while shopping and/or going out for coffee. These memorable moments help to show off their strong bond, which has been very apparent throughout Suri’s life while growing up.

Although Katie tends to be private about Suri and her personal life, she sometimes shares sweet posts about her mini-me on social media. One of the most recent included a birthday tribute for the teen.

Katie’s posts about Suri are rare because she has tried to keep her out of the public eye for as long as possible and touched upon why in an Apr. 2021 interview.

Katie Holmes Net Worth:

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Katie is estimated to be worth $25 million, which is quite impressive considering she hasn’t starred in a blockbuster flick in well over a decade.

For the past couple of years, the 42-year-old has focused her time working behind the scenes, developing scripts, and giving directing a chance.

Aside from All We Had, Katie also directed 2015’s documentary Eternal Princess while also lending her skills behind the camera for the TV mini-series The Kennedys After Camelot.

Many people have speculated over the years whether her divorce from Tom may have jeopardized her acting career considering Katie was one of the most sought-after actresses in the ‘00s, while her recent projects are mostly low-budget movies.

Katie Holmes Boyfriend:

Currently, Holmes is dating Emilio Vitolo, a New York City–based chef who she’s been seen with on multiple PDA-filled outings. Though Katie is usually extremely private about her personal relationships, these two don’t seem to be trying to hide the fact that they’re dating at all, which just goes to show that they may already be serious, even though they don’t seem to have been together for all that long. There’s still a lot that is a total mystery about this relationship … but as far as we can tell, Katie is super happy, and the feeling seems to be mutual.

Emilio Vitolo Jr is a pretty fascinating guy. After all, and as far as we can tell, it seems like he and Katie may actually have some staying power as a couple.

Emilio is a chef at a huge celebrity hot spot for Italian food in New York City, and what makes his work even more fun is that his dad owns the restaurant. He works at Ballato, and in an interview with In Style, he shared that his father opened the restaurant in the ’90s, and since then, everyone in his family has pitched in, often working seven days a week.

Interestingly enough, there’s a bit of an age difference between these two. While Katie is a 41-year-old single mom of Suri Cruise — who is now 14, believe it or not — Emilio is 33, making their age gap a cool eight years.

Katie and Emilio were first spotted together in September 2020, when they were seen dining out in NYC. There’s no word on how they might have met — or how long they’ve been dating — but it seems like this relationship is relatively new. They’re already pretty close, considering how often the paparazzi have caught them spending time together already.

We can’t speak for Katie’s cooking skills, but there’s at least one thing that she and Emilio have in common: acting. According to Emilio’s IMDB page, he’s appeared on shows like Inside Amy Schumer and Royal Pains, so while being a chef might be his day job, it seems that Emilio has some major Hollywood aspirations, too.

As a source close to the new couple told Us Weekly, Katie is “head over heels” for Emilio already, especially because she feels like she can be herself around him and can be as open about their relationship as she wants, since he’s not a celebrity himself.

“Katie is absolutely head over heels in love with Emilio,” the insider said. “She has wanted a stable guy in her life for a while and has found that with him. She is happy she can be free and comfortable with her relationship with Emilio and doesn’t need for it to be private, like her past relationship with Jamie Foxx was.”

Paparazzi photos from earlier in September show Katie and Emilio eating at his father’s restaurant with his father himself, Emilio Sr. So now we know Katie has met the parents — or at least a parent — which just goes to show how serious things might be between these two, even though their relationship still seems pretty new.
