Tom Cruise (ex-husband; baby father)
Date of birth: July 3, 1962
No need to introduce Katie’s ex-husband and her daughter’s father Tom Cruise, that’s why we will be short. He is a Hollywood A-lister, known by numerous blockbusters. He acted in the Mission Impossible series, in “Rain Man”, “Vanilla Sky”, “Jack Reacher” etc.
Tom has been married and divorced three times – to an actress Mimi Rogers, then to the film star Nicole Kidman (you can read here about her) and to Katie Holmes. He was married to Katie in 2006-2012. After that she filed for divorce, they say, because of Cruise’s passion to scientology.
Mr. Cruise is a father of three kids. He adopted two kids – Isabella and Connor – with Nicole Kidman. He fathered Katie Holmes daughter Suri, but he doesn’t stay connected with the girl.
