Nicole and Katie’s secret deal

The two women unite as Tom’s controlling behaviour pushes both of them to the limit.

Katie Holmes has reached out to Nicole Kidman in a series of secret phone calls, as both struggle to cope with Tom Cruise’s controlling grip on their lives. Following the third anniversary of her first date with the superstar actor, and with Tom pressuring her for a second child, troubled Katie, 29, is taking stock of how her life has changed — and she isn’t happy.

Katie first turned to Tom’s ex-wife Nicole, 40, for advice on how to handle the 45-year-old actor, but as their bond has grown, she has agreed to help Nicole gain more access to the former couple’s children Isabella, 15, and Connor, 13.

Pregnant Nicole — who was initially devastated by Katie’s tactless public revelation that Connor and Isabella “call me Mom” — was thrilled when Katie offered to help her spend more time with her children.

“Katie and Nicole have always had a civil relationship, but they have never had much of a chance to talk privately,” reveals one of Katie’s closest friends.
