Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx were good buddies when they collaborated on the action flick Collateral in 2004. The situation changed, however, when Foxx started dating Holmes, Cruise’s ex-wife, barely a year after her highly publicized divorce from Cruise in 2012. After keeping their romance under wraps for years, Holmes and Foxx announced it to the world in 2017.

Cruise and Foxx had been pals for years since the former recruited the actor to star alongside him in the 2004 action film, Collateral. But things turned when Jamie Foxx started dating Holmes a year after her dramatic divorce from the Mission: Impossible actor in 2012.
Holmes broke away from Cruise and the Church of Scientology in such a public way, serving him with divorce papers in June of 2012 while he was away on location in Iceland filming a movie. While she and their daughter Suri remained holed up in New York for months, Holmes started attending more social events in 2013, and it was in August of that year she met Jamie Foxx at a Hamptons gala.
Hollywood’s Betrayals and Heartbreaks
The couple had been secretly dating for four years, with Jamie Foxx reportedly going to great lengths to avoid being photographed with Holmes out of respect for Cruise. However, in September 2017, they were spotted holding hands on the beach in Malibu, and since then, they have been more open about their relationship.
While the Top Gun actor has not commented publicly on Jamie Foxx and Katie Holmes’ relationship, it is clear that he is struggling to come to terms with it. The fact that Foxx had been secretly seeing Holmes for so long has left Cruise feeling betrayed, and it may take some time for him to reconcile with his former friend.
Despite the turbulence accompanying them, fans clearly can’t get enough celebrity romances. Fans all over the globe are interested in Hollywood’s romantic relationships, whether they involve a love triangle or a fairytale romance.
