Katie split from actor and restauranteur Emilio, 33, in April, with sources saying their relationship 'fizzled'.

'They figured out they’re better off as friends. There’s no drama that went down with the breakup and in fact, they’re still friends.' a source told Us Weekly.   

Emilio collaborates with his father to run the popular Italian restaurant Emilio's Ballato, a favorite of celebrity visitors including Tom Hanks, Bradley Cooper and even former president Barack Obama.

His romance with Katie reportedly faded after she left for Connecticut to film her second feature as a director. 

She stars in the untitled film with Jim Sturgess as two strangers stuck in unhealthy relationships who find themselves forced to quarantine together at an Upstate New York Airbnb, according to Deadline

According to ET, Katie took a 'wait and see' approach to her relationship while she was out of the state filming.

'Before she left, [Katie and Emilio] were inseparable, but their relationship was existing in a bubble,' said an insider. 'Because of the pandemic, she wasn't jet setting around the country for jobs and he wasn't tied up every night working at his family's restaurant.'

But once their regular social lives resumed, the couple found they were not 'as compatible anymore.'
