Katie and Suri: What we are hiding from Tom

t’s the last thing Tom expected, and it’s what will hurt him the most. HENRY MELLER reveals Katie’s latest move against her ex.

You could quite fairly assume that after her leaving and subsequent slaying of her ex-hubby in the divorce court, Katie Holmes would have nothing left in her arsenal to shock Tom Cruise. But you’d be wrong. Woman’s Day can reveal that Katie has one last trick up her sleeve, and it’s sure to spark their fiercest battle yet.

There’s nothing more important to Tom than his beloved religion, Scientology – except perhaps his youngest daughter, Suri, 6. And that’s exactly where Katie’s taking aim. She’s determined their child will not follow her father into the controversial sci-fi sect – and our sources say she’s even going as far as having Suri baptised in the Catholic Church.

While the decision seems out of the blue, and perhaps a direct move to hurt Tom, 50, those close to 34-year-old Katie explain that she’s dreamed of raising her daughter as a Christian all along. “Katie is from a very tight-knit Catholic family and she and her brothers and sisters and all their kids have been baptised – this is something Katie desperately wants,” a close friend, who’s known the actress for 14 years, tells Woman’s Day.

“It will also mean everything to her parents, Martin and Kathy, who did so much to help her find the courage to leave Tom and to get through the storm that followed.”
