Katie Holmes: Marriage, Divorce and Verified Facts Explained

Most people carry one Katie Holmes story in their heads, usually the lavish wedding or the sudden 2012 split, and the rest gets filled in by gossip. This page sorts the documented record from the tabloid version, starting with a marriage that Wikipedia (encyclopedia entry) dates to November 18, 2006, and labels any report that never reached a court record.

Marriage to Tom Cruise: Married November 2006 (Wikipedia, encyclopedia entry) · Divorce: Filed June 2012, case closed August 20, 2012 (LegalClarity (legal explainer site)) · Daughter: Suri Cruise, born April 18, 2006 (InStyle (celebrity magazine))

How many marriages has Katie Holmes had?

Tom Cruise marriage dates

  • The couple became engaged in June 2005, about seven weeks after they met (Wikipedia, encyclopedia entry)
  • The wedding took place on November 18, 2006, at Odescalchi Castle in Bracciano, Italy, in a Scientology ceremony (Wikipedia, encyclopedia entry)
  • USA Times aside, USA Today (national daily) describes a five-year relationship, and reports that the wedding guest list included Steven Spielberg, Jennifer Lopez and Jim Carrey

Relationships reported in media that were not marriages

  • Coverage of Holmes’s later romances has linked her to names such as Jamie Foxx, and none of the sources reviewed records a marriage to any of them.
  • Cruise’s spokesperson said at the time of filing: “Kate has filed for divorce and Tom is deeply saddened and is concentrating on his three children” (People (celebrity magazine))
The upshot

Holmes has one documented marriage, to Cruise, and it ended in a divorce filed in June 2012. Any other “married” claim in a headline needs a wedding date, a venue or a court record before it counts.

The implication: one marriage is the only number a reader can repeat without qualification, and the divorce filing needs a footnote about the June 28 versus June 29 discrepancy.

How much did Katie get from Tom?

Status of settlement figures

  • No court-confirmed settlement amount appears in the sources reviewed, and Holmes’s attorney Allan Mayefsky called the divorce “amicably settled” with confidential terms (ABC News, broadcast network)
  • Child support of $400,000 per year until Suri turned 18 is reported by Yahoo Finance, which also reports that Holmes waived spousal support (Yahoo Finance, financial news)
  • A per-month version of the same figure, $400,000 per month, appears in some coverage; LegalClarity treats it as an uncorroborated conflation (LegalClarity, legal explainer site)

Why reported amounts differ

  • Holmes’s attorney Jonathan Wolfe said there are “numerous inaccuracies in the reports regarding the purported contents of the agreement” (LegalClarity, legal explainer site)
  • Holmes called reports that a million-dollar trust fund from Cruise had “kicked in” for Suri “completely false” in August 2025 (LegalClarity, legal explainer site)
  • Wedding-cost figures travel the same way: E! Online’s figure of more than $3 million for the 2006 reception is reportedly cited by InStyle, with low confidence (InStyle, celebrity magazine)
Why this matters

Money draws the most invented numbers. The best-sourced figure here is a reported per-year child support amount, and every total above it is an extension, not a finding.

The trade-off: the settlement’s dates and existence are documented, but its dollar terms are not, so the honest answer to the money question is that no confirmed total exists.

Was Katie Holmes married to Jamie Foxx?

Relationship timeline with Jamie Foxx

  • No marriage between Holmes and Foxx is documented in the sources reviewed.
  • Coverage presents the two as a couple, not as spouses.
  • Holmes’s marriage to Cruise, which ended in a divorce filed in June 2012, is the only marriage on record (Wikipedia, encyclopedia entry)

Why marriage claims circulate

  • Holmes sued Star magazine for libel, seeking $50 million; the suit was filed in March 2011 and settled April 27, 2011 (Wikipedia, encyclopedia entry)
  • A pairing of two famous names is enough for a headline, and that is how relationship stories often turn into marriage claims.
The catch

A headline that says “married” has to clear the marriage record, which lists one wedding in November 2006 and one divorce in 2012. Anything beyond that describes a relationship, and a relationship does not create a marriage.

The implication: the honest answer is that no marriage is documented, a narrower claim than the headlines suggest, and it is the one this article can stand behind.

Who is Katie Holmes in a relationship with currently?

Status as of the latest dated report

  • No current partner is confirmed in the sources reviewed.
  • In July 2025, Holmes “liked” an Instagram post claiming Cruise and Ana de Armas had an affair, a rare public action according to People (celebrity magazine)
  • Cruise and de Armas first sparked dating rumors in February 2025, when they were photographed in London (People, celebrity magazine)

Relationships after the Cruise divorce

  • Wikipedia reports that Holmes returned to the Catholic Church and began attending St. Francis Xavier Church after the divorce (Wikipedia, encyclopedia entry)
  • In a 2014 People cover story, Holmes said: “I don’t want that moment in my life to define me” (InStyle, celebrity magazine)

The pattern: the only dated relationship news in the sources is a July 2025 Instagram like, so any answer about a current partner has to carry that date and nothing more.

What movies does Katie Holmes star in on Netflix?

Netflix availability varies by region

  • The sources reviewed contain no verified Netflix title list, so this article does not name films from that catalog.
  • Streaming libraries differ by country, so any list must be checked against the live catalog for each market before publication.

Filmography outside streaming

  • The sources reviewed focus on her marriage, divorce and family, and none provides a verified film list.
  • Release years are the detail most often copied wrong, so each title should be confirmed before it is repeated.

The trade-off: a short list is accurate only until the catalog changes, so readers who need titles should check the live Netflix listing for their country rather than trust this page.

Timeline of key dates

  • : engagement announced, about seven weeks after the couple met (Wikipedia, encyclopedia entry)
  • : Suri Cruise born in Santa Monica, California (InStyle, celebrity magazine)
  • : wedding at Odescalchi Castle in Bracciano, Italy (Wikipedia, encyclopedia entry)
  • : Holmes files a $50 million libel suit against Star magazine; the suit settles April 27, 2011 (Wikipedia, encyclopedia entry)
  • : divorce filing, per Parade (magazine); Yahoo News UK dates the filing June 28 (Yahoo News UK, UK news portal)
  • : settlement agreement signed and reported (ABC News, broadcast network)
  • : case closed in a New York City court, according to LegalClarity (legal explainer site)
  • 2013: Cruise is deposed in a case against Bauer Publishing (Parade, magazine)
  • : Suri turns 18, and the child support obligation reportedly ends (LegalClarity, legal explainer site)
  • : Holmes likes an Instagram post about Cruise and Ana de Armas (People, celebrity magazine)

Why this matters: most of the dated record closes in 2012, and the entries after it are a birthday and a social-media moment, which is where rumor tends to fill the gap.

What’s confirmed and what isn’t

Confirmed facts

  • Holmes married Tom Cruise on November 18, 2006 (Wikipedia, encyclopedia entry)
  • Suri Cruise was born April 18, 2006 (InStyle, celebrity magazine)
  • The settlement agreement was signed and reported on July 9, 2012 (ABC News, broadcast network)
  • Holmes was granted primary custody of Suri in the divorce (Wikipedia, encyclopedia entry)

What’s unclear

  • The total settlement amount is not confirmed, and the terms remain confidential (ABC News, broadcast network)
  • Child support of $400,000 per year is reported by Yahoo Finance and has not been confirmed by a court document (Yahoo Finance, financial news)
  • Electronic Weekly, cited by Yahoo Entertainment (citing Electronic Weekly), reports that Suri changed her last name from Cruise to Noelle, citing voter registration records
  • Radar Online alleged in 2016 that the agreement barred Holmes from discussing Cruise or Scientology and from public dating for five years; this is unverified tabloid reporting (Mamamia (Australian women’s media site))
  • Cruise has had little or no contact with Suri since the divorce, according to secondary tabloid-sourced claims (LegalClarity, legal explainer site)
  • A Carnegie Mellon University program has been reported for Suri, but outlets disagree on the field: HELLO! Magazine (celebrity magazine) names musical theater

The pattern: the confirmed list is made of dates and one custody grant, while every money and conduct claim sits on the open list, and that is where the editorial line belongs.

What the people involved said

“…has been settled with a signed agreement.”

Bert Fields, Cruise’s attorney (ABC News, broadcast network)

“Did she say that? That was one of the assertions, yes.”

Tom Cruise, in a 2013 deposition against Bauer Publishing (Parade, magazine)

“This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family. Katie’s priority remains the well-being of her daughter.”

Jonathan Wolfe, Holmes’s attorney (People, celebrity magazine)

The pattern: each speaker points to privacy, and none names a figure, which is the clearest signal on the money question.

For readers who share this story, the choice is clear: repeat the dates with a named source, or repeat the dollar figures and accept that they rest on tabloid reporting with no court record behind them.

The implication: any celebrity marriage story earns trust only when each date and figure traces to a named source and, where money is involved, to a court record.
