Emilio Vitolo’s mom initially took issue with Katie Holmes relationship

10/03/2020

Katie Holmes’ new relationship has not got off to an ideal start — it’s upset her boyfriend’s mom, we’re told.

As has been previously reported, Holmes’ new squeeze, New York restaurateur Emilio Vitolo, dumped his fiancée after getting together with the actress. But Page Six hears that the dish around the stove of his family’s celebrity-favorite Soho restaurant, Emilio’s Ballato, is that his mom, Lourdes, is furious about the way the whole thing went down.

Vitolo reportedly ended his 18-month engagement to designer Rachel Emmons in early September — just hours before pictures of him canoodling with Holmes surfaced.

“[Lourdes] thinks she brought him up better than that,” said an insider. “She didn’t like how [Emilio] handled this at all.”
But another source said it was clear things weren’t going well between Vitolo — who runs the sceney red sauce joint with his father, Emilio Sr. — and his ex-fiancée.

“He and his fiancée were taking it slow, and it wasn’t working out,” an insider familiar with the family told us. The saucy source added that Holmes is more of Vitolo’s type anyway. “He likes older women,” the source said. “He dated an older anchor at Fox, and others, so he has a history with older women.”

Emilio Jr. — or “Little Emilio” as he’s known by restaurant regulars — is 33, while Holmes is 41. Emmons is just 24.

The insider said that an indie director who once auditioned Holmes told them, “Talking to her is like talking to somebody who works at Dairy Queen.” The source added that Little Emilio doesn’t have the most sophisticated interests either, “So it could work out. They’re not, like, discussing books, or art or anything.”

A rep for Holmes declined to comment, and we couldn’t reach a rep for the family. Calls to the restaurant went unanswered. Holmes and Vitolo were spotted in Soho this week happily holding hands in their latest PDA.
