A Timeline of Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx's Undercover Love

Jamie Foxx and Katie Holmes are officially going public with their romance, but how exactly did their sweet love come to be? While the two have been dating for roughly three years, their friendship dates all the way back to 2004, when the actress was still married to Tom Cruise. Even though the two are extremely private about their love — we're talking superintimate getaways and disguises — it seems like they are finally getting more comfortable putting their relationship in the spotlight, and we can't get enough!

A month after the picture was taken, a source close to the pair revealed that while they have been spending time together, "it's nothing serious." "This is not some intense romance," the insider told People. "Jamie and Katie are friends and have been for a long time. They are two adults who are attractive and single, and so apparently conclusions will be drawn."

  • December 2015: Katie was reportedly one of the many stars in attendance for Jamie's 48th birthday party.
  • July 2016: While Katie was shooting The Kennedys After Camelot in Toronto, the two had a low-key dinner date. The pair dined at Kasa Moto before fans caught wind of their public outing and they left from separate exits.
  • December 2016: For Katie's 38th birthday, the two flew to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, for an incredibly intimate vacation. "They stayed in one of the most private suites at the hotel, separate from other guests and entered by a small path," a source told Us Weekly. "They wanted to be very discreet and had everything delivered to their room and taken care of by a personal butler."
