Three years after their lavish wedding, friends claim Katie is feeling trapped by life with domineering Tom.
Tom Cruise wanted to treat Katie Holmes to a three-year anniversary dinner at Bricco, their favourite Boston restaurant, on November 14. He had one tiny request: that the entire second floor be emptied so the two could dine in private.
“When they walked up the stairs, she said, ‘Where is everybody?’, recalls the restaurant’s manager.
Romantic? Yes. Lonely? Maybe. Though a source says she “loves” Tom, “Katie is cut off from the world and feels miserable because of it.
“To say Tom is controlling is an understatement. His whole philosophy is to control, and Katie hates it.”
And barring a divorce, it’s likely her situation will not improve until November 2013. According to multiple sources, the actress, 30, has had second thoughts about being wed to a Svengali-like star and reportedly committing herself to a restrictive seven-year marital “contract”.
“Katie has virtually no say in their marriage and hates it,” says the insider. “In the beginning it was glamorous, but now she’s tired of the life they lead.”
And when she dares disagree with Tom, 47, “he can lash out at her and call her stupid and pigheaded,” claims the insider. (A lawyer for Cruise strongly denies any discord in the marriage or existence of a contract.)
Katie, who once said her childhood dream was to marry Tom, is learning the hard way to be careful what you wish for.
