However, he has revealed the couple will tie the knot either later this summer or early autumn. He said: "As far as I know, the plans are for late summer, maybe a bit later." Blach also said the couple plan to marry in private at one of Tom’s homes. Despite plans for the nuptials going ahead, it is rumoured that Katie’s parents will not attend the event if the pair wed in a Scientology ceremony. Martin and Kathleen Holmes are both deeply devout Catholics and it has been reported that neither will accept their invitations because they do not approve of Tom’s devotion to the bizarre sci-fi cult.

Tom sent a private jet to pick up groceries - July 17, 2020
Tom Cruise sent a private jet to pick up his groceries. The ’Mission: Impossible’ star - who is currently staying at a secluded ranch in Colorado with fiancée Katie Holmes and their three-month-old daughter Suri - shopped in style on Saturday (15.07.06) when Holmes reportedly developed a thirst for cherry soda.

The 44-year-old actor wasted no time to attend to his partner’s wishes and ordered his private jet carrying his two assistants to get her some bottles of the drink. The long-haul shopping trip caused a spectacle at the local airport, when the plane waited on runway for two hours, as two servants unloaded the delivery. The bags - reportedly packed with fizzy drinks and organic food - were then shiftily taken back to the ranch.

The bizarre shopping trip is the latest attempt from the ’Top Gun’ actor to keep his family out of the public eye. Katie, 27, has also been rarely spotted since giving birth to Suri, who has still not made her first public appearance.

Katie’s parents are refusing to attend her wedding - July 14, 2020
Katie Holmes’ parents are reportedly refusing to attend her wedding to fiancé Tom Cruise. The ’Top Gun’ actor plans to marry the ’Batman Begins’ actress, the mother of his daughter Suri, in a Scientology ceremony in late July or early August.

However, Katie’s devoutly Catholic parents, Martin and Kathleen, will not attend the nuptials because they do not approve of Tom’s devotion to the bizarre sci-fi cult. The ceremony will allegedly be conducted by Scientology leader David Miscavige. A family friend revealed to America’s Life and Style magazine that Katie’s mum and dad "are not happy" with their daughter’s choice of where to marry. It is also claimed that the former ’Dawson’s Creek’ star had hoped to have a separate Catholic wedding to appease her angry parents but Tom is not willing to compromise.

Biography

New Yorker Thomas Cruise Mapother IV (born July 3 1962) may have reached the heights of the heart throb-o-meter in the eighties but since his split with Nicole Kidman has ruined many a young woman’s fantasy with increasingly bizarre behaviour. So where did it all go wrong for the sofa leaping strange one?

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.
