A SIBLING FOR SURI!
The secretive couple make their fifirst first public appearance – and so does their baby bump!
After hiding their love for four long years, last week Katie Holmes finally stepped out hand-inhand with her boyfriend Jamie Foxx. And she revealed another surprise – they’re having a baby!
Katie allegedly signed a five-year contract not to date publicly after her divorce from Tom Cruise in 2012. In return, she received full custody of their daughter Suri, as well as a multimillion-dollar payout.
Fearful of breaking the contract, she and Jamie took precautions never to be seen together. But with the agreement ending on July 9, things couldn’t have been more different as they holidayed in the Hamptons last week.
The actress and 49-year-old Jamie frolicked on the beach, allowing photographers to snap away as the radiant mum-to-be showed off her small baby bump.
It’s thrilling news for Katie, 38, who has always dreamed of expanding her family and giving 11-year-old Suri a sibling. And not only is Suri supportive of the relationship, apparently she’s the one who’s been pushing her mum to make things official!
“Suri was desperate to have a brother or sister and has been pushing Katie and Jamie to stop hiding their romance,” a friend of the actress tells Woman’s Day.
“She wants them all to have days out and holidays together.”
Friends say when Katie found out she was expecting Jamie’s baby, she had no doubt the time was finally right to take the next step. They add she’s been gushing that Jamie, who is already father to Corinne, 23, and eight-yearold Annalise, is “a great dad”.
“He’s caring, kind and considerate,” says the insider. “He dotes on Suri and his own daughters. Above all, there’s no drama with him and he lets Katie be herself. In short, he is the complete opposite of Tom!”
Katie herself has been very open about just how much joy motherhood has brought her. “My child is the most important person to me,” she said of Suri in April. “I feel so blessed to do what I do, but there’s nothing in the world better than watching your child succeed.”
Sources close to the loved-up couple reveal they began trying for a child as soon as the fiveyear contract expired. And even though Katie’s starting to show, they’re still not at the 12-week mark, so will wait a little longer to announce their happy news.
Still, they weren’t afraid to finally flaunt their love last week, and friends say we can expect many more public outings from the pair now they’re starting a family together.
“They knew a photographer was there to capture them on their babymoon,” another friend tells. “Katie said later it was one of the happiest moments of her life. It was like being set free after all these years.
“She’s tired of the deception and she wants to have a normal relationship. She’s ready to have a baby with Jamie – and she can’t wait to properly start their life together.”
