“However they were a little shocked by the list of rules they’ll have to follow.
“Apparently they can’t take any photographic equipment, they’re banned from touching Suri and they’re not allowed to do any baby-talk around her.
"It will be very difficult for Victoria, because she just loves babies and is trying for a daughter with David at the moment.”
The ‘Top Gun’ star is a devout follower of Scientology which does not allow cooing over babies as they believe it may effect their development. Tom and Katie befriended the Beckhams at a football match last year. Former Spice Girl Victoria – who has three sons with soccer star David – reportedly gave Katie advice while she was pregnant.
So far Tom, 44, and Katie, 27, have kept Suri hidden from the public eye, sparking various conspiracy theories surrounding the baby. Friends of the ‘Top Gun’ star to claim they have seen his four-month-old daughter include actresses Jada Pinkett Smith, Leah Remini and Cruise’s ex, Penelope Cruz.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have promised to release photographs of daughter Suri - Aug 9, 2020
The new parents - who have been inundated with requests to see the baby - have hit back at claims they are reluctant to show their daughter off and insist they are planning to release photographs of Suri soon.
Cruise’s spokesman Arnold Robinson told The Scoop: “Cruise hasn’t been reluctant at all. He and Katie will be making a decision about when to release the photographs of Suri shortly.”
Only the couple’s closest family members and a handful of celebrities have been introduced to Suri.
‘Matrix’ actress Jada Pinkett Smith – who is a member of the Church of Scientology like Tom - recently revealed she has visited “gorgeous” Suri twice and says she takes after her Hollywood star dad. ‘Kings of Queens’ actress Leah Remini – another Scientologist – also said she had seen the “beautiful” tot and described Tom and his fiancée Katie as “great parents”.
Rumours are hotting up - Aug 2, 2020
Rumours that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are going to tie the knot this week are hotting up. Speculation has been sparked after several huge tents and outdoor chandeliers were spotted being erected at the Scientology Celebrity Centre, in California. The ’Mission: Impossible III’ actor proposed to the former ’Dawson’s Creek’ star - who gave birth to their first child, Suri, in April - in Paris last year.
A source is quoted by website MollyGood.com as saying: "I live in Beachwood Canyon, right up the hill from the Scientology Celebrity Centre, and there is most definitely something going on soon. "I know that Tom and Katie have been there twice in the last week and now the centre is covered in tents and outdoor chandeliers. Huge planters are in the street to prevent anyone driving too close."
Meanwhile, is has been claimed the couple’s hairstylist, Oscar Blandi, has been booked "all weekend" for them. The increased speculation comes just days after Tom, 44, and Katie, 27, announced they will tie the knot at some point this year The ’Top Gun’ star’s spokesman Paul Blach said: "As far as I know, the plans are for late summer, maybe a bit later."
However, it has been claimed that Katie’s parents will not attend the nuptials if the pair wed in a Scientology ceremony. Martin and Kathleen Holmes are both devout Catholics and reportedly do not approve of Tom’s devotion to the bizarre sci-fi cult.

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.
