Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx, once close friends, remain estranged years after their friendship dissolved due to a scandal involving Katie Holmes. Despite Foxx’s recent health scare, sources claim Cruise remains unwavering in his decision to sever ties, citing betrayal as the root of their fallout.
Insiders reveal that Cruise, 62, has refused to reconcile with Foxx after learning of the latter’s romance with Holmes, Cruise’s ex-wife. The Mission: Impossible star reportedly views the relationship, which began shortly after his marriage to Holmes ended, as a breach of trust.
“Tom’s always been suspicious about the timing of Jamie and Katie’s relationship,” an insider said. “He feels it’s stuck in his memory as a betrayal, and he’s not willing to let it go.”
Jamie Foxx and Katie Holmes: A Controversial Timeline
Foxx, 57, and Holmes, 46, were romantically linked for six years before their split in 2019. Their relationship reportedly blossomed soon after Holmes finalized her divorce from Cruise in 2012. However, the controversy lies in the fact that Cruise and Foxx were friends while Holmes and Cruise were still married.
The two actors became close during the filming of the 2004 thriller Collateral, but their camaraderie soured after Cruise learned of Foxx’s involvement with Holmes. According to sources, Cruise felt blindsided by the romance and saw it as a betrayal of their friendship.
“Tom has a strong sense of loyalty when it comes to friendships,” the insider added. “He doesn’t see how someone he trusted could do something so hurtful.”
Cruise Unmoved by Foxx’s Health Crisis
Despite Foxx’s near-fatal health scare in 2023, when he suffered a brain bleed and stroke, Cruise reportedly remains firm in his decision to keep his distance. While Cruise expressed well wishes during Foxx’s recovery, insiders claim he has no desire to mend their broken friendship.
“Tom’s glad Jamie is doing better, but he’s made it clear that they won’t be reconnecting,” another source noted. “He doesn’t want to trash-talk Jamie, but he doesn’t hold much respect for him either.”
Cruise’s personal traditions, including sending holiday coconut cakes to friends and loved ones, have reportedly excluded Foxx for years. “Jamie is firmly off the Christmas cake list,” the insider joked, emphasizing Cruise’s stance on the matter.
A Rift That Won’t Heal
While Foxx has expressed a desire to make peace with people following his health ordeal, it seems unlikely that Cruise will be among those he reconciles with. Insiders suggest that Cruise’s deep sense of betrayal outweighs any chance of forgiveness, leaving their friendship a distant memory.
For now, both stars continue to focus on their respective careers, with Cruise preparing for the next installment of Mission: Impossible and Foxx making his return to the spotlight after his health crisis.
