Katie Holmes Hid Face & Wet Hair on Subway: She 'Doesn't Look Like Herself' after Split from Younger Ex

• Katie Holmes, 44, broke up with her 10-years-younger boyfriend, Bobby Wooten III, whom she introduced to her daughter, Suri Cruise.
• The actress' fans worried as she was "crying," needed "somebody to talk to," looked "homeless," and "gave up," allegedly.
• The "Dawson's Creek" star was spotted in a subway with seemingly wet hair while hiding her face under a cap.

Katie Holmes is famous for a wide array of films and TV shows, including "Dawson's Creek." Most recently, the 44-year-old started working on an off-Broadway play titled "The Wanderers," which has left her vulnerable to the scrutinizing eye of the public as she commuted to work.

Over the last few weeks, Holmes was spotted making her way to and from the play. She dressed to remain incognito, choosing a blue cap to hide her face as she sat on the subway, engaged with seemingly important business on her phone. She paired the hat with a denim jacket, a patterned dress, and black flats.

It's not the first time Holmes wore the blue ball cap to avoid detection while out in public. On March 16, the actress was seen on the streets of New York City with the same headwear covering her seemingly drenched hair. The actress made her way through the city with a cream-colored cardigan, black shoes, and baggy blue jeans.

Does Breakup with Boyfriend Affect Katie's Appearance?

Fans have been criticizing Holmes for her fashion choices for a while following a recent breakup. In December 2022, the actress appeared at the Z100's iHeartRadio Jingle Ball in a long tunic worn over a pair of jeans paired with sneakers. As many on social media pointed out, the outfit was reminiscent of the early nineties.

In August 2022, everything seemed to be going well between Holmes and her musician boyfriend.

Many fans wondered whether the strange choice of apparel had anything to do with her recent breakup with Bobby Wooten III. Twitter was abuzz with theories and insights, with one user commenting on another snapshot of Holmes in an oversized coat, baggy jeans, and sneakers. The Tweet rang:

"Katie Holmes is REALLY having a tough go at it. First the dress with the pants, now the pants with this awful faux fur. Girl I can tell you been crying and needing somebody to TALK TO."

Little is known about Holmes' relationship with the 34-year-old Wooten, although insiders have shared that the two called it quits after less than a year together. Some fans speculated that Holmes' breakup with actor Jamie Foxx is what influenced her fashion choices, although many noted Wooten was much more recent.

Holmes and Wooten looked blissful together, and the actress had already met his mother and introduced him to her young daughter, Suri Cruise. Nonetheless, the breakup was confirmed, and Holmes' fashion choices seemed to suffer as a result of the split. One Twitter user suggested, "She gave up."

Holmes once more evoked the vitriol of online critics as she stepped out in a brown wool blazer, a white t-shirt, and a "bizarre" fringed skirt made of leather strips seemingly held together by metal clasps. Fans wrote about her taste in clothes, "Doesn't look like herself," "That's not Katie Holmes," and "I saw her ... looking homeless."

Did Katie Look Different during Her Last Romance?

Despite the ten-year age gap between Holmes and Wooten, the pair seemed genuinely happy together. Holmes was constantly smiling when she was with the musician, and the couple was often seen strolling around the city together, holding hands and giggling uncontrollably.

On another one of Holmes and Wooten's walks, the pair stopped to meet Holmes' mom, Kathy Holmes.

In August 2022, everything seemed to be going well between Holmes and her musician boyfriend. The couple was spotted walking in the city, holding hands and constantly chatting. Holmes wore a stylish caramel oversized jumpsuit, while Wooten looked casual in a dark green shirt and tan slacks.

They could barely contain themselves as they walked along their route and seemed deep in love. Before this leisurely stroll, the couple has been to several public events together. They attended the premiere of Holmes' film "Alone Together" as a couple, and the actress even accompanied Wootten to a friend's wedding.

Wooten introduced Holmes to his family at the wedding ceremony, and sources indicated that the Wootens "really liked her." Holmes and Wooten didn't hide how in love they were. Sources mentioned that they were open with their relationship, constantly holding hands, kissing, and showing off the playful nature of their connection. One source noted:

"Katie and Bobby have been dating for a few months and it's been going great. The two are busy with their own things, Katie acting and being a mother and Bobby with his music, recently playing at Coachella, so they cherish the time they get together."

Holmes even put Wooten through the ultimate test — meeting her daughter. Sources shared that Holmes wanted the young Cruise to hear about her new relationship through her and not through tabloids and rumors. So, Holmes brought Wooten home and introduced the two.

Many of those close to Holmes have noted that her daughter is the most important thing in her life, and Cruise's opinion most likely played a significant role in who she dates. Luckily, Cruise and Wooten hit it off from the start. Besides her daughter, Wooten also met Holmes' mom.

On another one of Holmes and Wooten's walks, the pair stopped to meet Holmes' mom, Kathy Holmes. The three seemed to spend a while chatting before the matriarch leaned in to embrace Wooten in a big hug. Although the couple dressed casually, they looked stylish in matching blue outfits.

Holmes wore white overalls with a white t-shirt and a blue cardigan, while Wooten coordinated with blue slacks, a blue jacket, and a white shirt. Sadly, the couple's split seems final, with inside sources mentioning Holmes has stopped talking about him. Sources indicated, "They just didn't work out together for the long run."
