The Moth Ball Gala is an event that celebrates The Moth, a non-profit organization based in New York that celebrates storytelling. The gala also acts as a fundraiser for a variety of Moth shows and events. This year’s gala commemorated 25 years of the organization and was hosted on May 26th on a rooftop deck. The event handed out the 2022 Moth Storyteller of the Year Award to David Byrne, with whom Wooten collaborated on the show “American Utopia.”

Holmes and Wooten were first photographed together in April when they were seen kissing and going on a walk along Central Park. The two then went to the Guggenheim Museum, where they were accompanied by Katie Holmes’ mother, Kathy. According to E! News, the two met through mutual friends, with a source explaining that Holmes was happy and that Wooten was a good partner. “She enjoys having someone in her life and he is very kind and good to her,” said the source.

This relationship marks Holmes’ first public relationship following her split from Emilio Vitolo Jr., a relationship that ended in May of last year.
