Katie Holmes has a new man in her life

He’s funny, cute and very tall.

So we can’t really blame Katie Holmes for falling for actor Jason Segel.

Katie and the 34-year-old How I Met Your Mother star are said to be dating, and the actress is apparently head-over-heels about the actor.

Jason dated Katie’s former Dawson’s Creek co-star Michelle Williams and they only split last year, but apparently this hasn’t stopped the relationship from blossoming.

The pair have been friends for a while, having met on the set of HIMYM when Katie made a guest appearance back in 2011.

But it seems their relationship only became romantic in the past few months, and now Jason is said to be eager to start a family with the woman of his dreams.

Katie, 35, already has one child, eight-year-old daughter Suri, from her six-year marriage to Tom Cruise, which ended in divorce in 2012.

Katie was last linked to actor Jamie Foxx, while Jason’s last serious relationship was with Golden Globe winner Michelle, 33.
