Katie Holmes is currently grabbing the headlines after she was spotted with a mystery man. Soon after her pictures went viral, the mystery man was identified as Jason Bard Yarmosky. Katie’s personal life has always garnered attention, as she was once married to Hollywood heartthrob Tom Cruise. But before finding love in Cruise’s arms, Katie was engaged to American Pie actor, Chris Klein. The couple was even engaged to get married but called it off later.
Katie Holmes and Chris Klein’s engagement and breakup
Katie Holmes and Chris Klein started their careers in the entertainment industry during the same time. She starred in as ‘Joey Potter’ in Dawson’s Creek, while he became a teen sensation with his role in American Pie. Holmes met Klein after her breakup with Joshua Jackson, who was her first love. When Holmes and Klein started dating in 2000, they were 21 and just three months apart in age.
During the shooting of Dawson’s Creek, Holmes spent the majority of the time in North Carolina while shooting for the film. The couple navigated a long-distance relationship and did everything they could to stay connected. When Holmes returned to Los Angeles after wrapping up the film, she and Klein got engaged. Despite being engaged, the duo never got married and broke up in March 2005.
Katie Holmes began dating Tom Cruise within months
After her split from Chris Klein, Katie Holmes began dating Tom Cruise, and their romance was all over the news. During that time, it was reported that Holmes had dumped Klein for Cruise. Klein refuted the reports and even stated that she called him to share the news about her blossoming romance with Cruise. Within months of her split from Klein, Holmes got pregnant with Cruise’s child.
It was an awkward moment for Klein as he even faced the rumours that Holmes and Cruise’s daughter, Suri, was actually his biological child. Klein denied the reports and claimed that the couple had split before Holmes began her romance with Cruise. In an interview with Details magazine, Klein spoke about Katie and Tom and said:
“Her being with Tom has nothing to do with her and I discontinuing our relationship. People move forward, people move on, it’s what we do. We grew up. The fantasy was over, and reality set in. We weren’t lighting each other’s fire anymore.”
Katie and Tom tied the knot in 2006, six months after Suri’s birth. However, Holmes filed for divorce from Cruise in 2012, and the divorce was finalized that same year. After Holmes and Cruise’s split, Chris Klein sat for an interview with People and reflected on his own breakup with Holmes and said:
“From my side there was a lot of denial and fear about the future. It ended as amicably as these things can end. When we were breaking up, we kept it to ourselves for a while. It looked like it was Katie and Chris together and two seconds later Katie and Tom together, but that’s ridiculously compressed. … Katie was incredibly respectful about the decision she was making to move on.”
