Katie Holmes was spotted for the first time since her ex boyfriend Jamie Foxx made an offensive comment about about being ‘cured’ from dating white women.
On Sunday, the actress, 45, put on a brave face as she flashed a tight smile while walking down the busy streets in New York City in a bright green, Elphaba-inspired coat.
At one point, she even stopped to pose in front of a Wicked musical poster.
She carried massive bouquet of flowers as she headed to the Ethel Barrymore Theatre for her matinee performance of the Broadway play, Our Town.
Ahead of getting into costume and transforming into her character Mrs. Webb, she bundled up in the vibrant trench coat, which she layered over a butter yellow turtleneck.
She prepared for the chilly winter weather with a gray knit sweater wrapped around her shoulders as a scarf and a black beanie to keep her head and ears warm.
The Dawson’s Creek alum — who returned to Broadway after spending Thanksgiving with her 18-year-old daughter Suri Cruise — also sported a pair of reddish-brown, tinted aviator sunglasses.
Katie Holmes was spotted for the first time since her ex Jamie Foxx joked about being ‘cured’ from dating white women five years after their romance
The Ice Storm star carried a taupe, suede bag and completed her look with a pair of black, leather booties.
Her outing comes just days after her ex, Foxx, made a joke about no longer dating white women after their past romance.
During his new Netflix special, What Had Happened Was, the actor said he was ‘cured’ after he suffered a stroke and was in a coma earlier this year.
She appeared cheery during her outing and seemed unbothered by his comments about being ‘back on the black side of town’ even though her six-year romance with him was his most public, high-profile as well as longest relationships —outside of the mothers of his children and his current partner Alyce Huckstepp — and his joke was seemingly targeted towards her.
The couple previously dated for six years from 2013 to 2019.
Ever since Holmes became an empty nester this year and her daughter started college at Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Holmes has been busy on Broadway.
Prior to her daughter’s move, Holmes opened up about how she was feeling with the transition.
‘I’m proud of my daughter,’ she told Town & Country. ‘Of course, I will miss the close proximity, but I’m really proud of her and I’m happy.’
She continued: ‘I remember being this age, this time of beginnings. It’s exciting to learn about yourself, and I loved that time, so it makes me happy to think about it like that.’

As Holmes headed out on Sunday morning, she had a coffee cup in hand as she headed to the theater for a matinee performance of Our Town.
Holmes stars in the long-awaited revival of Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play — which will close in late January — along with The Big Bang Theory’s Jim Parsons and Zoey Deutch.
The day before, Holmes took to Instagram to share a selfie in the theater.
She also shared a photo of a stack of Playbills for the play as well as candid photos from their holiday party.
In her caption, she said she was ‘grateful’ to work with the talented cast and crew. ‘Saturday night on Broadway,’ she wrote.
‘I am so very grateful to be a part of @OurTownBroadway with this incredible group of actors during this holiday season.’
