Awhile back we reported that actress Katie Homes was allegedly shacking up with actor and comedian Jamie Foxx.

Now the rumors lit up like wild fire this week after Foxx was seen spending the night at Katie's swanky New York City apartment and has been secretly creeping around the big city together.

In Touch magazine reports:

“Katie and Jamie have been dating for a while,” an insider reveals to In Touch, adding that Jamie has secretly been spending time at Katie’s apartment. “They’re very Mission: Impossible about their romance.” 

A second source confirms to In Touch that one early morning in mid-September, a driver pulled in front of the Trump Soho Hotel, prepared to take Jamie to the set of his new flick Annie — but was surprised when Katie stepped into the limo instead. “A hotel employee confirmed that Katie had stayed at the hotel with Jamie and that she was taking his car,” the second source reveals. “So the driver drove her home to her Chelsea apartment.” 

Though sparks were clearly flying between Katie and Jamie, 45, when they danced together to Robin Thicke’s sexy “Blurred Lines” at a Hamptons charity bash in late August, Katie’s rep insisted they were still just “friends.”

But with Jamie’s long friendship with Tom — who he once said “changed the projection of my career” — on the line, it’s no surprise the new couple want to keep things quiet. “Whoever you’re dating, don’t let anybody know!” intensely private Jamie once told Oprah Winfrey, but added, “I’m very loving … when it comes to being there [for someone].”

Do you think Jamie and Katie make a good couple?
