Dawson’s Creek alum Katie Holmes took a casual stroll through Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood on Monday.

The Ohio-born 43-year-old French-tucked her baggy pink top into blue wide-leg jeans and she accessorized with white sneakers and an oxblood purse.

Katie – clutching her red iPhone and face mask – wore large shades over her makeup-free complexion and scraped her brunette mane into a top bun.

Missing from Holmes’ side was her boyfriend since April – bass player Bobby Wooten III – who, at 33, is a decade younger than her.

The Chicago-born musician announced on Monday that he was enjoying his ‘first trip to Japan’ where he performed with two-time Grammy nominee Carly Rae Jepsen.

The Almost A Year producer-writer is mother to 16-year-old daughter Suri Cruise, who sang a cover of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart’s 1934 classic Blue Moon for her second directorial feature Alone Together.

‘Well, I always want the highest level of talent, so I asked her,’ Katie told Yahoo! Entertainment in July.

‘She’s very talented. She said she would do it and she recorded it, and I let her do her thing. That’s the way I direct in general. It’s like, “This is what I think we all want and then go do your thing.”‘

Holmes added: ‘She actually did sing on Rare Objects, which is the film we did this [past] fall. Other than that, she’s a 16-year-old kid doing high school.’

The former Holmes & Yang designer wrapped her third directorial effort – an indie flick about a traumatized woman (Julia Mayorga) working in an antique shop – in November.

Katie produced and co-wrote the big-screen adaptation of Kathleen Tessaro’s 2016 novel with Phaedon Papadopoulos.

Holmes has primary custody of Suri from her six-year marriage to Top Gun: Maverick action star Tom Cruise, which ended in 2012.

Worryingly, the 60-year-old Oscar nominee hasn’t been pictured with his youngest child in nine years, even though his custody arrangement allots ’10 days a month of visitation’ – according to Us Weekly.

Some speculate Tom’s alleged estrangement has to do with Katie and Suri ‘disavowing the Church of Scientology’ and devotees don’t associate with SPs (suppressive people).
