Earlier this week, the actor furiously denied claims the pair had split. The star’s representatives released a statement shortly after a story in America’s Life and Style Weekly magazine suggested they had cancelled their wedding. The publication also claimed the couple had separate bedrooms and had agreed to part after the birth of their baby. But Tom’s publicists, Paul Bloch and Arnold Robinson, quickly moved to deny the report, saying: "It should be known that the story is 100 percent false. "They are doing great, they are in great shape. They are still engaged and are moving forward with their wedding plans, as well as planning for the arrival of their child."
Tom Cruise denied he has split from pregnant Katie Holmes - Feb 15, 2021
Tom Cruise has furiously denied claims he has split from pregnant fiancee Katie Holmes. The star’s representatives released a statement shortly after a story appeared in America’s Life & Style Weekly magazine suggested the pair have cancelled their wedding.
The publication also claimed the Hollywood couple have separate bedrooms and have agreed to part after their baby is born. Insiders told the magazine that Tom and Katie’s relationship was over but they "plan to keep up the charade of a romance until after their baby’s birth this spring". Tom’s publicists, Paul Bloch and Arnold Robinson, have furiously denied the reports. In a statement release to US TV show ’Access Hollywood’, the pair said: "It should be known that the story is 100 percent false. "They are doing great, they are in great shape. They are still engaged and are moving forward with their wedding plans, as well as planning for the arrival of their child."
The statement added: "Despite the malicious fallacies put forth by Life & Style Weekly magazine, the couple is looking forward to a long and happy life together as a family." However, the publication insists its story is correct, saying in a statement: "We stand 100 percent behind our story."
Tom Cruise nominated for three Raspberry Awards - Jan 31, 2021
Tom Cruise has been nominated for three Raspberry Awards - which honour the worst films and performances of the year.
The Hollywood heartthrob has taken two of the five slots in the Tiresome Tabloid Targets category for his antics with fianc?e Katie Holmes and his recent rant about psychiatry. He has also been nominated for the Worst Actor gong for sci-fi movie ’War of the Worlds’. John Wilson, founder of the ’Razzies’, told the Associated Press: "He (Cruise) had been a very private person up until this past year. "It certainly was a bizarre turn in terms of how he handles his personal life and the access that he gave the media to himself.
The endless posing on the red carpet and just smooching like they were on the couch at home." Elsewhere Jessica Simpson has been nominated as Worst Actress for ’Dukes of Hazzard’. She will be competing against a list of top stars, including olive-skinned beauty Jessica Alba, who was nominated for ’Fantastic Four’ and ’Into the Blue’. Leading the nominations is ’Son of the Mask’ - the sequel to Jim Carrey’s hit ’The Mask’ - which is up for eight of the embarrassing awards. The awards will be held on March 4.

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.
