Many of us have been rooting for Katie Holmes since she escaped from Tom Cruise and his Scientology goons in the summer of 2012. I remember how surprising that story was, and how fascinating too. This woman left with full custody of her child after six years under the most controlling cult with one of the wealthiest and most influential celebrities in the world. She did it with a plan, a burner phone and help from her father, who was a divorce attorney.
When Katie started dating Jamie Foxx, many of us understood why they didn’t go public. It’s assumed that there was a clause in her divorce that she couldn’t go public with another partner for 5 years, but of course that time has passed and we still barely hear about them. It’s thought that they’ve broken up a few times, most recently earlier this month, and there are whispers that Jamie isn’t commitment-minded and that he’s unfaithful. According to US, this is possibly true and Katie is ok with it. I’m not buying that and will explain why after this excerpt:
Still going strong. Katie Holmes is absolutely “smitten” with boyfriend Jamie Foxx despite his eyebrow-raising behavior with other women, a source exclusively reveals to Us Weekly.
“She has fun with him when they are together,” the source explained in the newest issue of Us, on newsstands now. “It’s a relationship that works for her…”
[Holmes], 39, was reportedly not pleased after Foxx, 50, was spotted getting close to his ex Kristin Grannis on July 4, when they watched fireworks together in Malibu. At the time, Holmes was in Ireland with her 12-year-old daughter, Suri, whom she shares with ex-husband Tom Cruise. To make matters worse, [Foxx] was seen partying it up — and getting handsy — in Miami with multiple women just days earlier.
“No one understands why Katie loves a man who can’t seem to commit or why he’s publicly humiliating her like this,” the source continued. “Everyone just wants her to take care of herself and to be happy. But she won’t let go of Jamie…
“When Katie and Jamie are together, it works,” the source adds. “It’s weird, but it’s what works for them.”
If any of this is true, that Jamie is a cheater and/or that Katie is holding on, the likely source isn’t either of their teams. It makes both of them look bad. Consider the fact that Tom Cruise has a movie out this week, the umpteenth Mission Impossible, and that his side is the only one who benefits from picking apart Holmes’s relationship. Also consider that Cruise admits not seeing his daughter in years. If a celebrity mom gave up a relationship with her young child for a cult imagine all bad press she would get, and yet somehow Cruise gets a pass.

How can Tom just abandon his kid??
Happens all the time. Not everyone feels a strong attachment to their kids. My ex hasn’t seen his 4 kids in years, not paid child support, and has no intention of reconciling. His choice.
Ugh im so sorry to hear that. I couldnt even imagine just walking away but i guess some people just dont care.
except in Cruise’s case it’s because of his “religion” or, more accurately, the cult he belongs to. we know that he HAD an attachment to her – we saw it all the time before they split.
he doted on her, he would carry her everywhere and she looked like she adored him.
now, he has shunned her due to the $cientology practice of “disconnection”, where cult members are required to essentially “ghost” former members who have left, even their own children/siblings/parents.
I am Not diminishing your ex’s abhorrent behavior but I kind Of always thought the public shame would force a photo op once a year from tom at least
When our son graduated from law school my ex actually showed up. My husband has raised my son since he was four and wiped his bottom, taught him to ride a bike, counseled him about girls, and paid all his tuition.That didn’t stop my ex from steaming over to us, shaking my husband’s hand, hugging me, and declaring “well we did it!” Only the manners drilled into me by my mother kept me from telling him that “we” did not include him. He was absolutely oblivious.
Deadbeat dad.
I don’t like being insulted with these”wronged beard” stories.
Pathetic PR.
Yeah sure he has cheated on her with all these WOMen.
I don’t believe he’s a player.
Can we stop blaming Tom for all of Katie’s misfortunes? It’s been six years since they parted ways. He doesn’t care about her. It’s like Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt. Tabloids link her with him because it’s what sells, but they haven’t got anything to do with eachother in decades. Let it go, people!
Katie’s relationship with Foxx is working for them. It’s Katie’s who accepts this type of relationship. She loves him and it’s what she wants. She’s a strong woman….she does what she wants.
Its not just blaming Tom, it’s also blaming the cult behind Tom. Scientologists don’t just let things go. They systematically harass people for years and years.
I only believe what I hear from the people that the gossiping is being spread about and not so much what I read. And a picture says a thousand words. So that’s that,but as far a Cruise getting a pass I stopped watching Tom Cruise movies since the last time I’ve seen him with his daughter and haven’t seen them together since. No photos no nothing. Any father or mother who does not see there child is mind boggling. I can’t understand and she is such a cute little girl. Cruise should be ashamed of himself.
Why do we assume everyone is in a monogamous relationship? Fidelity isn’t a necessary component of a successful and mutually respectful relationship.
Yeah – someone commented above that they don’t see Foxx as a player. I get that vibe too, but only in the sense that “player” connotes disrespect — not that they are strictly monogamous. If they did have an open relationship, it would make sense, because Katie seems focused on Suri and has her own things going on. I’m sure neither will ever give us the deets (unlike Will Smith & Jada Pinkett!), so who knows.
They could also be polyamorous. My bf is poly but I’m not. I genuinely don’t care he has another gf. The most important part of polyamory is open honesty about health screenings and being good to each other.
Maybe it is fidelity as long as two people are in agreement. I have seen that open relationships can work for people who have a set of rules and the couple sticks with them. People who are away from each other for longer than average time for their jobs may decide it is for the best. Or maybe someone prefers a relationship with a lot of sexual freedom.
Whatever works and to each their own.
Yeah, she could be fine with a sort of casual relationship, she gets her independence and has a good friend to share time with. To each their own.
Something about all these break up stories just don’t ring true to me. Jamie Foxx is actually a serial monogamist and has been very secretive about his love life, I think this is nothing more than tabloid speculation
The break-up stories come from Radar Online. They never get a story right. I don’t believe they ever broke up. They are still together and i don’t believe Foxx is cheating. He’s just a …..social guy
Gossip Cop says the same its bogus.
It is what is I suppose. Does anyone know who the designer is of that dress? I love it!
If you’re talking about the floral one, I believe it’s Zac Posen.
” At the time, Holmes was in Ireland with her 12-year-old daughter, Suri, whom she *shares* with ex-husband Tom Cruise.”
B*tch , please!! She doesn’t share, she has Suri full time because her father is a POS cult loonie that chose a crazy “religion” over his own flesh and blood.
He shouldn’t get a pass for being a deadbeat dad.
I don’t buy problems or a break up with them, I think they are engaged.
I will always have incredible respect for her, for having the strength to leave Tom Cruise and his crazy cult in the best interest for her daughter. She is a strong woman, I remember the whole thing about how she had to use burner phones, etc. to plan her escape from Cruise and his handlers.
She doesn’t strike me as a woman to stay in a bad relationship.
This. Well said.
I think Katie is where she wants to be for her own reasons. I also believe TC plants stories about her.
Jamie Foxx is known to be a serial playboy, not monogamist as someone else said. He is very Hugh Grant-ish and has 3 baby mamas along with multiple girlfriends. He keeps them all out of the spotlight. And they’re always white. No issues with that, but it’s well known that he keeps a roster of white women on speed dial. He never makes statements about his love life but his actions speak volumes.
And why is Katy perceived as strong? She married a man who cut the mother of his 2 children out of his life and had already proven crazy with the ADD and postpartum talk well before they married. Same with Nicole Kidman. Nicole cheated with Tom on his first wife then acted surprised that he was a jerk. But as far as Jamie and Katie, they seem like 2 adults enjoying each other’s company. Not everyone wants marriage and commitment.
What the he’ll does “and they’re all white” mean? why would you point that detail out if it truly doesn’t bother you? Who cares what color his side pieces are?
Yeah, maybe she’s happy with her family situation and likes getting occasional, experienced dick on the side. What’s so bizarre about an arrangement like that?
hahahaha…I love how you phrased that.
You sound salty… Why does it matter who he’s dated or had children with?
How does a man with 2 kids have 3 baby mamas?
He has 3kids…2 older and a baby born in in ’14….? Not too long ago, think she’s a toddler now.
And spare me the feaux outrage @chillywilly. He dates tall women with small waists and brown hair. They also happen to be white. Since when are characteristics of a person not appropriate for discussion? The fact that a (black) man has a type of woman (white) he prefers is OK. It is to acknowledge and discuss what’s visible and factual. Would you be mad if I said George Clooney only dated young women? Or that Prince Harry used to only date blondes? GET A GRIP.
Well earlier this month he said he only has 2 children,both girls, so unless you have a seen a paternity test that confirms he fathered a toddler,he has 2 kids.
Mother’s baby Father’s MAYBE.
I never understood the allure of Jamie Foxx.
Seems these stories usually are woman wants more commitment and guy is just out of reach so to speak. Why? Not only don’t we know because neither party discusses this but it is possible that the man wants more and the woman for many reasons does not. This drives me crazy.
Is Jamie Foxx that charming?
Shows how little interest the general public has in Tom Cruise, doesn’t it, CB? His people go to Us mag & plant stories re: his ex in order to drum up PR for an M:I release. His camp’s hoping articles like this one get his name out there, which is pathetic. An M:I film would have needed nothing in terms of promotion years ago; they used to sell themselves. Cruise used to sell magazines on his own name 10 years ago, too. Times change.
I’m in love with a dude that looks like Jamie Foxx and yeah, its definitely not the looks, its the charm.
Notice how all of these stories have been coming out since they were together at that charity dinner (or whatever it was), hence finally “confirming” their relationship? The tabloid feeding frenzy hasn’t stopped since. No wonder they kept things on the DL for so long, they knew this craziness would start.
So my take from this is Tom is a PoS dad
He’s got a movie coming out and his cult still has a hate on for Katie
Nice try though Tom
My take too.
Katie has been to France, Ireland, and now she is water sking somewhere. I really think if she was really really serious about him she would stay in her house in LA to be close to him, not live in NY.
I don’t think they are together anymore, that’s why he is back to his old tricks. There are things about him that I really find tacky, his lifestyle’ his parties, how he gravitates towards women with least amount of clothing. He didn’t do that last year, he has started again recently’ but if they are friends with benefits, well that is a different story, she has fun with him, whenever, I thought there was more to it, in the beginning, but not now.
Actually Katie needs to come out on this herself,
She loves alpha male types. Find a partner out of showbiz, Katie, if long-term commitment is what you’re looking for.
Don’t have too much trust in the mother of his younger daughter either, now she is the one who wants him really badly, hence her father coming out and blabbing to the media, and other photos that she has set up, and uses their daughter as an excuse to keep her around.
This woman Kristin Grannis has been humiliated by Jamie all her life with him, and still wants to be with him. Personally I think she and Jamie have broken up many times, but he goes back ,and she takes him back, he keeps her , after all, pays for everything, seeing she doesn’t work and doesn’t want to work, according to her father.
I don’t think this is that complicated. Yes Jamie cheats and hooks up with women. He isn’t simply partying, he is very slick with a no phone policy’s but it will be out in the open soon. I love Katie always been a fan but this is making her look very idiotic on her part that she is just his go to girl when needed. I hope she finally moves on because she is getting played badly in public. She is way too smart for this sh** at 38.
This is the first time I’ve heard about a possible clause in her divorce that she couldn’t go public with another partner for five years.
What would be the point of that clause? To protect Tom’s ego? I don’t get it.
There is no clause because there is no point. A more likely explanation is that she’s a mother of a young child and it would look irresponsible to bring a bunch of strange men around her kid. Like a lot of these young single Hollywood moms do.
