With his divorce from Katie just settled,
Tom is focused on spending time with Suri.
There has been much speculation
surrounding the custody arrangement in Tom Cruise‘s divorce from Katie Holmes,
with most reports indicating that Katie has been granted primary custody over
their six-year-old daughter, Suri. While that may be true, a new report says
that Tom is planning to see Suri very soon.
According to E! News, a source close to
Tom says that the 50-year-old actor hopes to see his daughter as soon as he’s
finished shooting in Mammoth Lakes, California, which could be as soon as this
weekend.
“As soon as he is done shooting he will
arrange to see Suri. If he wasn’t shooting up in the mountains, I am sure he
already would be with her,” the source says.
The source also provided information
regarding the custody arrangement, saying that Tom and Katie’s plan for
visitation is “flexible” and “all set out” in the agreement. The source
acknowledged that Katie, 33, has primary physical custody of Suri, but that
“[Tom's] plan is to see Suri very, very often. He loves her dearly and is a
normal parent.”
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Are
YOU surprised that Tom will be able to see Suri so soon?
Although Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes
agreed to keep the details of their divorce settlement under wraps, details have
started to emerge. The most important one: the battle over their 6-year-old
daughter Suri, of whom the actress requested sole custody in her June 29 filing.
According to People magazine, both Cruise and Holmes agreed that Suri “should
live primarily with her mother in New York City with generous visitation by her
father.” Adds a source, “They both love their daughter and Tom thinks she should
be with her mother … Neither one of them wanted this to be hashed out in
public."
Ever since Holmes, 33, surprised Cruise
with divorce papers just days before his 50th birthday, Suri has been spotted
with her mother all over Manhattan. The two, who moved out of the “Rock of Ages”
star’s East Village home and now live in a new three-bedroom apartment in the
Chelsea neighborhood, have visited museums, grabbed lunch with friends, and gone
out for ice cream together. Although Suri has not seen her father since he’s
been filming in Iceland, she does reportedly talk to him on the phone every day.
People also reports that she will be enrolled in a private school in the city
come this fall.
Although she won the war for Suri, Holmes
did not get much in the money battle with Cruise, according to the LA Times. The
former “Dawson’s Creek” actress will not get “any significant money or property”
due to their prenup, a source tells the newspaper. Holmes, the source adds, “was
never after money but wanted to protect her daughter.”
Earlier on Monday, there were reports
that Holmes wanted to banish Scientology from Suri’s life and also wanted a
nanny of her choosing to accompany Suri at all times during visits with her
father, but her lawyer warns that you shouldn’t believe everything you read.
"There are numerous inaccuracies in the reports regarding the purported contents
of the agreement reached between the parties," Jonathan Wolfe said in a
statement. "The agreement is confidential and its terms will not be
disclosed."
