People may talk about summer love, but it was only during the last long weekend of summer that many celebrities seemed to debut their hot and fresh relationships. From Katie Holmes and Jaden Smith to Zac Efron and Canadian model Winnie Harlow, celebs were out and about flaunting their new coupledoms after months of being in lockdown.
Katie Holmes spotted out with new beau
Fans have been speculating about Katie Holmes’ potential new boyfriend for just under a week now. She and chef Emilio Vitolo
were first spotted together at a Mediterranean restaurant in New York City on September 4, but it seems like the couple hasn’t exactly been worried about keeping things under wraps since then. Over the weekend Holmes
was photographed sitting in Vitolo’s lap and kissing him at another restaurant in New York City, paying no attention to the crowds around them.To say the PDA is very un-Katie Holmes like would be an understatement, since the actor is typically quite private about her personal life. Meanwhile for those wondering, 33-year-old Vitolo is a chef at Emilio’s Ballato in SoHo, an establishment that his father Emilio Vitolo Sr. bought in the early 1990s. In addition to whipping up plates for celebrities like
Whoopi Goldberg and
Joe Jonas, he has also appeared in TV shows like
Royal Pains and
Inside Amy Schumer.[video_embed id='2030957']WATCH: Katie Holmes has a new man[/video_embed]
Sofia Richie moves on with Jaden Smith
Sofia Richie may have had a very
public separation with older boyfriend (and Kardashian-adjacent personality) Scott Disick, but it seems as though she’s ready to move on. The 22-year-old Instagram influencer and model was spotted with 22-year-old Jaden Smith at a Los Angeles beach on September 5, instantly sparking dating rumours when they were photographed holding hands in the water.
“They were laughing and joking and looked very intimate,”
an eyewitness told Us Weekly. “Sofia sat on the sand with her arms around Jaden, hugging him tightly, after they cooled off with a dip in the ocean. They only had eyes for each other.” The publication also reports that the pair later shared dinner with Moisés Arias (
Hannah Montana) and his girlfriend at Nobu Malibu.For fans keeping track, this isn’t the first time Richie and Smith have been romantically linked: they dated briefly back in 2012, when they were 14 years old. The relationship only lasted a few months, but it seems as though those sparks may now be rekindling in a big way.
Zac Efron’s new leading lady
It’s no secret that the
High School Musical star is all grown up, having recently graduated to films like the
upcoming Three Men and a Baby remake. And now the almost 33-year-old may have a new relationship to talk about too, since his rumoured fling with Vanessa Valladares is no longer just a rumour.Efron and Valladares, an Australian model, were photographed on September 5 at a beachside café in Australia, where Efron moved at the beginning of lockdown earlier this year.
According to Cosmo he and Valladares met at the Byron Bay General Store café where Valladares was working. “Sightings” of the couple have been reported ever since."Zac met Ness earlier in the summer. They started hanging out in July and recently took a ski trip together,"
a source told People. "You can tell that they are having fun. She spends a lot of time at this house."
Winnie Harlow enters the NBA bubble
LeBron James may be keeping his fam-jam outside of the NBA bubble since he feels there isn’t
much for them to do there, but Winnie Harlow and Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma are proving him wrong. Harlow entered the Orlando bubble this weekend to spend time with Kuzma, making their
rumoured relationship pretty darned official.The Jamaican-Canadian model not only caught Kuzma in a game against the Houston Rockets on September 6, but she shared her journey on her Instagram stories
with the caption “Krushing on @Kuz.” Meanwhile the pair shared some flirty banter on one of Harlow’s posts, in which she was
rocking a pink bikini. “What’s on the menu..,” she captioned the photos, to which Kuzma later responded, “Look like you on the menu.”Then on Monday the pair went out for a
day on the links, hitting some balls, driving around on a golf cart, and even avoiding waterway alligators. Harlow captured a good portion of it for her Instagram stories, finally making this couple Instagram official.[video_embed id='2030951']WATCH: Lupita Nyongo shares a very personal tribute to Chadwick Boseman[/video_embed]
