Katie Holmes has always been very discreet about her relationships.
The 43-year-old American actress appeared publicly for the first time with her ex-partner, fellow actor Jamie Foxx, in 2019, after almost six years of relationship.
“When you have so much attention, you often don't even want to leave the house because it's too much.
You can feel consumed by what people say, "revealed the interpreter in the American edition of
InStyle
magazine , in one of the few interviews in which Holmes has spoken about her personal life.
That is why she has been surprised that she has been seen with her most recent partners.
The actress has attended with her new boyfriend, the musician Bobby Wooten III, 33, at the 25th anniversary gala of The Moth, a non-profit organization dedicated to art and literature, which was held this Thursday in Spring Studios in New York.

The couple made their relationship public last month, as revealed by
People
magazine , when they were seen together for the first time in New York's Central Park, while walking hand in hand, kissing and wasting gestures of complicity.
During their walk, the couple ran into the actress's mother, Kathy Holmes, who warmly greeted Wooten, whom she seemed to know beforehand.
Bobby Wooten III is an acclaimed musician, producer, and instrumentalist from Chicago who teaches at New York University's prestigious Clive Davis Institute, specializing in music industry-related education.
“He is an amazing guy, very kind and super talented, a great guy in every way,” a source close to the musician told
People

He has worked with artists such as Jennifer Lopez or Machine Gun Kelly and has participated as a bassist in the Broadway musicals
American Utopia
and
Moulin Rouge.
His musical productions have also appeared in advertisements for brands such as Nike or in the American television series
Empire .
and performed at the last edition of the Coachella Festival as the bassist for singer Carly Rae Jepsen.
