Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are having a baby girl - April 03, 2020
The Hollywood couple are busy decorating a nursery for their unborn tot and spent $20,000 on bedding and furniture’suitable for a daughter during a massive’shopping spree, giving away the’sex of the child. Heavily pregnant Holmes took delivery of her haul from Petit Tresor, a trendy boutique in Los Angeles. The’store’s co-owner Samantha Winch told America’s Access Hollywood website: "It’s very easy to rack up an expensive bill especially when you are as excited like Katie is and it’s your first baby."
Among the items chosen by Cruise and Holmes, were wallpaper featuring classic nursery rhymes, a $178 nappy bag, a stuffed elephant, and a faux-mink teddy bear complete with several items of designer clothing, including a $155 shawl. The’shop’s other owner Nina Takesh said: "The bear was adored by Katie and Tom. And Katie can’t stop squeezing the elephant." The couple’s first child is expected this month and will allegedly be born in complete’silence in accordance with the rules of the Church of Scientology, of which Cruise is a devoted follower.
Tom and Katie have’swapped rings - Mar 16, 2020
Tom Cruise and fiancee Katie Holmes have reportedly swapped rings in a bizarre’scientology ’wedding’ ceremony. The Hollywood couple - who are expecting their first baby together - allegedly gave each other bands emblazoned with triangular Scientology symbols during a boat trip last July.
The couple were heading to Aruba to celebrate Tom’s 43rd birthday when they held the’service. Actors John Travolta and Kirstie Alley - who are also followers of the religion - were among guests at the ceremony, which is thought to have been held on the cult’s ship, ’Freewinds’.
An insider is quoted in The’sun newspaper as saying: "Katie wore a flowing white dress and Tom was in a black suit as they exchanged rings during the brief 30-minute ceremony. "The couple then walked across a tiny bridge - a Scientology symbol for the journey to total freedom." A spokesman for Cruise’said: "All I can say is they are not married in any sense of the word."
Katie Holmes asked Victoria to be her birthing partner - Mar 08, 2020
Katie Holmes has allegedly asked Victoria Beckham to be her birthing partner. The’screen beauty - who is expecting her first baby with fiance Tom Cruise this year - reportedly wants the former Spice Girl to be by her side when she goes into labour.
A source told Grazia magazine: "Victoria and Katie have’struck a real rapport ever since they were introduced by Tom and both of them are thrilled by the friendship. "Victoria has become’something of a mother hen to Katie, so when she was asked if she would be with her during the birth, she’said yes straight away."
Because the pair live in different countries - mum-of-three Victoria lives in Spain, while Katie lives in the US - they are’spending time on the phone preparing for the birth. The’source added: "Twice a week they both set aside half an hour to chat about the impending birth and any worried Katie might have. "Sometimes they even practise breathing exercises over the phone."
