It didn't take Katie Holmes long to recover from her failed engagement to Chris Klein. After that long-term relationship ended in February, she was reportedly seeing Josh Hartnett.

And now, it seems she is seeing Tom Cruise. Yes, 42-year-old Tom is dating 26-year-old Katie. The two were photographed holding hands in Rome on Wednesday. One source claims the relationship is a couple of weeks old.

Tom himself broke up with Penelope Cruz more than a year ago. He had recently been spotted with Latin hottie Sofia Vergara.

Both have blockbusters coming to theaters this summer. Tom stars in Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds. Katie co-stars in Batman Begins.
