Holmes and Foxx, 50, first sparked romance rumors in 2013 when they were spotted dancing the night away at a benefit, about a year after the actress finalized her divorce from Tom Cruise.

In 2017, the two were photographed holding hands during a walk on the beach. That year, Holmes also attended Foxx's 50th birthday party

"They are really happy," a source told E! News in 2017. "It's easy and they are for sure very much in love."

The source added, "Katie and Jamie will not at any time talk about their union. They like their life private."

This past January, Holmes and Foxx cozied up at a pre-Grammys gala. Over the summer, they were spotted on several dinner dates in New York
