Tom Cruise
- Profession: Actor
- Place/Date of Birth: New York, USA, 03 July 2020
- Assiociated with: Katie Holmes, Nicole Kidman
According to reports, the 27-year-old brunette has now gone to Ohio by herself and taken the couple’s baby with her. It has been alleged that 43-year-old Tom has a strained relationship with Katie’s parents after her father Martin organised the couple’s pre-nuptial agreement. Martin, a devout Catholic, has also previously spoken out to condemn his future son-in-law’s Scientology beliefs. A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "He told Katie he wasn’t going, considering the bad relationship between him and her family. Katie was happy he said that because she’d been afraid to admit she didn’t want him to go."
Katie’s spokesmen have now denied the row and insist the Hollywood actor - who has a pilot’s licence - is even set to fly his family to Ohio himself.
Tom Cruise selling photos of his baby girl for to $1 million - May 4, 2020
Tom Cruise is allegedly in talks to sell photos of his baby girl for up to $1 million. The Hollywood star - whose fiancee Katie Holmes gave birth to their daughter, Suri, two weeks ago - is reportedly letting his aides negotiate with picture agencies.
Whoever buys the first official snaps of the tot would be able to sell them to magazines for the estimated huge sum. A source is quoted in The Sun newspaper as saying: "There is a bidding war." Last week, Tom revealed the joy he felt when his daughter was born was "indescribable".
In an interview with America’s ’20/20’ TV programme, he said: "It was powerful. It was indescribable. What words can you use? It’s still something that I’m processing and keep reliving." The ’Mission: Impossible III’ star - who already has two adopted children, Isabella, 13, and Connor, 11, from his marriage to ex-wife Nicole Kidman - also insisted the new arrival isn’t going to stop him carrying out death-defying stunts in his movies. He said: "I have three beautiful children and I love the adventure of life and filmmaking. You can get struck by lightning just walking out of your house. I’m interested in life. And, I’m very active and I love it."
Tom is pushing Katie through a gruelling fitness regime - May 2, 2020
Tom Cruise is reportedly pushing fiancee Katie Holmes through a gruelling fitness regime - to get her fit for their wedding. The ’Mission: Impossible III’ actor has allegedly signed his fiancee up to a ’Buff Brides’ exercise course to help her shed three stone before their upcoming nuptials. Katie, 27, who gave birth to the couple’s daughter Suri just two weeks ago, is said to be "proud’ of Tom’s determination to get her fit.
However, Tom’s efforts have failed to impress Katie’s father Martin, who has blasted his future son-in-law for pushing the ’Dawson’s Creek’ actress to get in shape so soon after childbirth. He told Reveal magazine: "My daughter needs rest, relaxation, and recuperation. "Katie is already doing exercises to build up her back and shoulders and I simply can’t go along with what’s happening."
But the brunette’s personal trainers have full confidence in her pre-wedding mission. Fitness guru Brad Kaufman, who trains Katie, said: "She has great motivation. The wedding is on the fast track. We’ve been told to get Katie into amazing shape. It’s all systems go."

Born in Syracuse Tom grew up in relative poverty following his father’s departure from the family, the actor has since claimed that he suffered abuse before the split. While Thomas III refused to pay child support, Tom’s mother Mary Lee Pfieffer moved her son from city to city, eventually settling in New Jersey where Tom, who once aspired to become a Catholic priest, then a Wrestler, took up acting. His first role was as lead in a High School production of Guys and Dolls.
1981 saw Tom take his first acting role, alongside Brooke Shields in Endless Love. He followed this up with increasingly important roles before in 1983 appearing in Risky Business, the underpanted lip syncing scene of which brought him to the attention of movie goers worldwide as well as to Director Jerry Bruckheimer who asked Tom to star in his next project. Rumour has it that the actor turned down the role of fighter pilot Maverick in Top Gun but in 1986 there he was on our screens, ready to become a cinematic icon.
As the 80s rolled on The Colour of Money, Cocktail and Rain Man ensured Tom’s place at the top of the Hollywood A list, taking him in to the nineties able to demand huge pay cheques for his work and earning him Academy Award nominations (for Born on the Fourth of July). In 1990 he met Australian actress Nicole Kidman on the set of Days of Thunder who he would soon work with again on the less successful Far and Away. Fresh from his divorce from Mimi Rogers, whom he had married just three years earlier, Tom whisked Nicole up the aisle before embarking on a roll call of more ’serious’ film work from The Firm to A Few Good Men and Interview With The Vampire.
1996 proved a successful year for Tom. He began a long relationship with the Mission:Impossible franchise and earned himself another Oscar nomination for the unforgettable Bruckheimer release Jerry Maguire. But this time seemed to mark a turning point for America’s most personable lead man. In 1999 he and Nicole took on the bizarre and controversial Kubrick movie Eyes Wide Shut which he closely followed with the Oscar nominated Magnolia which saw a further move away from his usual ’arrogant nice guy’ roles.
In 2001 the Cruise/Kidman van screeched to an unexpected halt. The couple, who had two adopted children - Isabella and Connor - were divorced just before their tenth wedding anniversary. Nicole, three months pregnant, later miscarried. Tom was soon in love again, this time with Vanilla Sky co-star Penelope Cruz with whom he was linked until 2004. He continued to create box office successes, from a second Mission Impossible movie to Collateral and Minority Report.
Following his split from Penelope Tom became ever more vocal about his beliefs as a Scientologist. The controversial religion was expected to affect his 2005 outing, War of the Worlds, however whilst the film still managed to net millions, Tom’s religious ramblings coupled with his unexpected relationship with Dawson’s Creek and Batman Begins actress Katie Holmes, sixteen years his junior, saw his own popularity wane.
Tom’s pro-Scientology and anti-psychiatry comments, a very public battle with Brooke Shields and some truly over the top, overacted protestations of love signalled the end of Tom’s relationship with Paramount pictures with whom he had worked as a Producer. Paramount weren’t the only ones to go off the actor either. The newspapers and magazines who not so long ago loved him and his movies turned against him, branding him a laughing stock and turning up the volume on the gay rumours which have plagued Cruise for so many years.
Tom and Katie carried out their fast forward relationship under the glare of the press - first bringing baby daughter Suri in to the world in April 2006 just a year after they first met, then marrying in November of the same year.
