16 Facts About Jamie Foxx And Katie Holmes' Super Private Relationship

Jamie Foxx and Katie Holmes have been surrounded by romance rumors for years. But the elusive couple has seemingly been able to keep their alleged romance mainly to themselves. Jamie has been inundated with rumors of a romance with 'friend' Katie Holmes in the past and more recently he walked away mid-interview when asked about Katie, but the romance rumors continue. The reported couple has dealt with wedding and baby rumors and has still managed to remain under the radar as a true couple.

But in 2017 things changed for the duo. Not only were they seen happily walking on a Malibu beach together, but Katie showed up to more events with Jamie like a Grammy party and his 50th birthday party, although they never arrive together. The sudden PDA could be due to Katie's newly expired divorce contract or it's possible they have decided to open up their courtship to the public. “Jamie and Katie's relationship is not a secret but they both like to keep it under the radar. They have nothing to hide but Jamie, especially, is very low key about his life in general, and rarely talks about it. He is not one to acknowledge anything about his private life and neither does Katie. They are happy, they just don't flaunt anything. Jamie will always go out of his way to stay discreet. That is his way, and it works for him. If they could stay secret forever, Jamie would be happy,” a source close to Jamie tells People.
