Katie Holmes was recently seen out and about in New York City, showing off a confident smile after her ex-boyfriend, Jamie Foxx, made headlines with controversial comments about dating white women.
The actress, 45, kept a positive demeanor as she walked through the busy streets in a striking, bright green coat that gave a nod to the character Elphaba from Wicked.
At one point, Holmes paused to pose in front of a Wicked musical poster, adding a personal touch to her outing.
She also carried a large bouquet of flowers as she headed to the Ethel Barrymore Theatre for her matinee performance in the Broadway play Our Town.
The Aftermath of Foxx’s Remarks
Holmes’ appearance comes shortly after the release of Jamie Foxx’s Netflix special What Had Happened Was…, where he made a shocking reference to their six-year relationship.
During a performance, Foxx made a series of remarks that many considered offensive.
At one point, sitting at a piano, he sang, “Sisters, I’m here to tell you, I’ve been cured,” referencing his decision to stop dating white women.
The audience responded with applause as Foxx added, “No more white girls,” followed by several other comments that further drew attention for their controversial nature.
A Look Back at Jamie Foxx’s Relationships
Over the years, Jamie Foxx has had several high-profile relationships with both black and white women.
He dated Connie Kline in 1993, the mother of his daughter.
From 1996 to 2001, he was romantically linked to Haitian actress Garcelle Beauvais.
In 2005, Foxx began a relationship with actress Leila Arcieri, followed by his 2008 romance with Kristin Grannis, the mother of his second daughter, Anelise.
Foxx and Holmes dated from 2013 to 2019.
After their split, Holmes was briefly involved with chef Emilio Vitolo Jr. and musician Bobby Wooten. She has been single since then.
Katie’s Focus on Career and Motherhood

“I’m proud of my daughter,” Holmes said.
“Of course, I will miss the close proximity, but I’m really proud of her and I’m happy.”
Reflecting on her own experiences at that age, she added, “I remember being this age, this time of beginnings.
It’s exciting to learn about yourself, and I loved that time, so it makes me happy to think about it like that.”
