Tom Cruise
- Profession: Actor
- Place/Date of Birth: New York, USA, 03 July 2020
- Associated with: Katie Holmes, Nicole Kidman
According to the source, Martin Holmes allegedly said: "If Katie can have a proper Catholic wedding her whole family will gladly be a part of." Since she began dating Tom, Katie has become heavily involved in Scientology, and is reputedly planning to convert from Catholicism to the ’religion’. Recently, Tom’s ex-wife Nicole Kidman was told by the Catholic Church that, in their eyes, she had never been married to the actor as it had not been sanctioned by the church.
Tom has refused to release pictures of Suri - June 28, 2020
Tom Crusie has refused to release pictures of baby daughter Suri because of his Scientology beliefs. The ’Top Gun’ actor and his fianc?e Katie Holmes celebrated the birth of their baby girl in April but are yet to make their first public appearance together as a family. It has now been claimed Tom is reluctant to show off Suri because Scientology doctrine teaches followers of the sci-fi cult to avoid taking newborn babies out unless absolutely necessary.
A friend of the actor told Grazia magazine: "Tom insists he’ll do it in his own time. He won’t be bullied into showing his world his precious angel. Tom wants to obey Scientology rules about keeping babies out of the public eye." Tom is a devout follower of the bizarre faith, founded by science-fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, and is open about his beliefs.
Before Suri was born, it was claimed that Katie would have to give birth in silence. Scientologists believe babies should enter the world without any outside noise to stop them from being mentally scarred by the delivery. It is believed the former ’Dawson’s Creek’ actress gave birth as calmly as possible but did not keep a vigil of silence throughout her labour.
Katie could earn $33 million for being Tom’s wife - June12, 2006
Katie Holmes could earn up to $33 million for being Tom Cruise’s wife. The massive sum has been revealed in the pre-nuptial agreement signed by the former ’Dawson’s Creek’ actress and the Hollywood actor. According to the legal document, Katie is entitled to a set figure of $3 million a year and up to $33 million for the total period of time she spends as Mrs Cruise.
However, if their nuptials last longer than 11 years, California’s community property law will entitle the brunette star - who gave birth to Tom’s baby daughter, Suri, two months ago - to half of Tom’s entire fortune. The new parents are set to tie the knot later this year, and rumours have circulated that Katie is desperate to marry the actor so she would be able to afford to fight him for custody if they ever split.
A source told Newsweek magazine: "If she walks now, Tom will fight her for custody of Suri and Katie can’t outlast him in court. She knows she needs to marry him to get the money to fight him for custody, if it comes to that."
Katie has taken her baby - May 25, 2020

The ’Batman Begins’ actress is said to be exasperated with the actor’s refusals to visit her parents in Ohio, and finally introduce their 5-week-old daughter, Suri, to them.

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.
