Katie HolmesIt's sounding like Katie Holmes has finally discovered the key to finding the woman she can be without Tom Cruise. Rumor has it she's finally dating again! And the guy might sound familiar for those fans who loved her way beck before Scientology's poster boy swept her into his couch-jumping frenzy.

There's a rumor (and I do mean rumor) that Katie is rekindling a romance with her old fiance Chris Klein. 'Memba him? Single moms in Katie's boat, listen up! This bit of Katie news may finally force Tom's ghost to the other side (along with some other no-good ex-husbands).

The proof of their relationship is pretty tenuous. A "source" told gossip rag Grazia that Klein has been sneaking into Katie's place via the underground garage so that the tabloids won't get hip to their relationship. So it might be a bunch of hooey. OR they could be onto a new path Katie should explore. 

Really, would Katie seeking out Klein -- who has gone to rehab and kicked the alcohol habit that broke them up in the first place -- be such a bad idea?

More from The Stir: Katie Holmes' Divorce Could Mean a 'Dawson's Creek' Reunion ... Finally!

Every mom getting out of a divorce since the beginning of time (or at least every one I've talked to) worries about whether anyone will be interested in them, if anyone will see them as anyone other than "woman with kid." Who better than a few of Katie's ex-boyfriends to help remind her who she was before Suri? To show her that she's still the same desirable woman she was pre-Tom and pre-motherhood?

She's hot. She's smart. She's got a great career. She's the whole package. Who needs Tom?

Lesson number one, for the recently divorced, huh?

What do you think of the Katie and Chris rumor? Does that fit into the methods she's using to get over Tom? Is it a good idea?
