Tom Cruise & Katie HolmesTom Cruise & Katie Holmes - more holiday snaps belowThere's nothing like sneaking off for a romantic break to Rome with your new partner - away from the prying eyes of family, friends and randoms.

But imagine popping out of your hotel room to wander those Roman streets, only to be greeted by practically every photographer on the planet.

That's the fate that's met Tom Cruise and his new lady, Katie Holmes.

Just two days after his publicist sister confirmed the two actors were an item, they've been snapped enjoying the sights of Italy's capital.

With reports that Katie is determined not to have sex until she's married, the couple have been spending plenty of time sightseeing.

Their big sunglasses disguise didn't fool anyone as they left the Da Nino restaurant after a trip to the Vatican.

They looked every inch the couple as Tom held on tightly to his new girlfriend - who's 16 years younger than him.
