Jeremy Strong, Katie Holmes’ boyfriend, has got to feel pretty honored that he has been able to snag up Katie’s heart after a devastating break up from Tom Cruise. Even though Katie was probably over Cruise after his infamous couch jumping embarrassment, she has been able to bounce back from her days of living as a Stepford wife.
According to OK magazine, Holmes has been spending a whole lot of time in New York City with actor Jeremy Strong. It was just last month that Katie starred in the play “One Day When We Were Young” and performed at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts alongside Mr. Strong. Apparently he was strong enough to make an impression on Holmes.
But could have these two been engaging in a little extracurricular on the down low behind Tom’s back? I doubt it considering the eyes that seemed to constantly be on Katie’s every move via Scientology but according to an insider, “They’ve been friends for years. Other than her parents, Jeremy was the only person who knew Katie was moving to New York — and the first person she saw when she arrived.”
Even though Katie and Jeremy are not speaking about their rumored undercover romance is, there is one person who seems to be thrilled that Jeremy is courting Katie. JEREMY’S MOTHER! And SHE is talking to the tabloids. Maureen Strong told Star magazine exclusively, “He told me, ‘Mom, she’s one of the nicest people I’ve ever met; so authentic and down-to-earth. She’s the real deal.’” But apparently Jeremy is no stranger to Katie and company. Mama Strong continued, “They’re so close that Jeremy even went to her and Tom’s house for Christmas.”
So what do we know about Mr. Strong? Well according to IMDB, the guy is prominent in the dramatic arts genre. Not only has he starred in numerous popular pieces like The Romantics alongside stars such as Josh Duhamel, Elijah Wood, Anna Paquin and yes, Katie Holmes, he has received many accolades including the 2009/2010 Lincoln Center Theater Annenberg Fellowship award for “An artist of extraordinary talent.”
