she's got a new love in her life, New York City chef Emilio Vitolo. And things are different. These two aren't hiding.

Holmes and Vitolo first publicly stepped out last month and were seen smooching in Central Park, and well, lots of other places.

"They adore each other and can't get enough of one another," a source tells Entertainment Tonight. Another adds: "In the past it seemed like Katie would sort of mold to her partners' lifestyle. But with Emilio, Katie is so authentically herself."

The source also tells ET that the couple doesn't care about showing off their happiness in public, via PDA. "This is the real Katie and she's playing by her own rules now," the source said "They're so happy." Vitolo works at his family restaurant, Emilio's Ballato, a favorite Soho spot, and he spends much of his time there, as does Holmes.

"Katie is like a teenager in love right now—he makes her giddy!," a source told ET back in September.

Vitolo is no stranger to the spotlight. Many A-listers enjoy eating at his restaurant, and he shares Instagram photos like this:

But right now, it seems that Holmes is the brightest star in his orbit. Awww, love. It blossoms even in 2020.
