It’s been years since Tom Cruise shocked Oprah Winfrey by leaping onto her talk show couch to proclaim his love for Katie Holmes. Since that unforgettable moment, Tom and Katie wed, had a daughter named Suri, and survived a divorce battle. Following the split, Cruise reportedly did not see Suri for years while Holmes cared for their daughter. But now new reports indicate that Tom is ready for changes, from finding his first serious romantic relationship since his couch-jumping days to reuniting with Suri.

Us Weekly told readers that Tom is “jump-on-a-couch happy” once more, citing a source’s revelation that the 54-year-old actor has been “ romancing a British woman for several months.” That relationship marks his first “significant” romance since his 2012 breakup from Katie, according to Us .
The romance reportedly began early in June. Cruise was busy filming The Mummy in London, but not too busy to take the new woman in his life on a date to Bourton-on-the-Water, revealed the insider. Ever since that date in the village in the Cotswolds, which is located two hours outside the city, Tom has been “smitten,” shared the source.
“He’s serious about this relationship and wants to make it work.”
Cruise’s British girlfriend is “very normal and pretty,” according to the source, who also revealed that she is “bunking” with Tom in the rental cottage where he’s staying on London’s outskirts and has visited his pad in London. Cruise wants to make the romance a lasting one, added the insider.
It’s been over four years since Cruise and Holmes ended their own romance. In addition to his 10-year-old daughter, Suri, with the 37-year-old actress, Tom is the father of Bella, 23, and Connor, 21. Their mother is his ex-wife Nicole Kidman.
Cruise and his British girlfriend have gone “on bike rides through the countryside,” according to the source, who revealed that Tom’s sister has sometimes joined them. As for what Cruise wants from the relationship, the insider summed it up.
“Tom wants some companionship.”
Cruise isn’t the only one seeking a new romance. Us reports that Holmes is on a parallel path, with multiple sources confirming to the publication that she is still involved in a relationship with Jamie Foxx.
“[Jamie and Katie] are for sure still together,” revealed one of the insiders.

Suri Cruise reportedly had not seen Tom for three years, but now the little girl has reunited with her dad, according to a source cited by Hollywood Life .
The media outlet reports that Cruise “orchestrated a secret” meeting with his 10-year-old daughter when he was working in England.
“He didn’t want word to get out, so everything was treated very discreetly,” revealed the insider.
Suri’s nanny was with her during the trip, which reportedly lasted five days and included both London and Bourton-on-the-Water. Although Tom and Suri have not been photographed as a dad-and-daughter duo since 2012, the insider revealed that she remains in a “special” place in his life.
“Suri is a special part [of Tom’s life].”
At this point, however, the little girl reportedly continues to spend most of her time with her mother, who received primary custody following her split from Cruise.

But Gossip Cop reports that the story of a reunion between Suri and Tom is not true , telling readers that Cruise has not seen his daughter in several years and that “nothing has changed.”
The rumors of a reunion between daughter and dad come from Us Weekly , which cited a source claiming that the two saw each other both in June and July. Suri allegedly flew to London as a “VIP guest” for Tom’s birthday, according to Us’ source.
“[Cruise] didn’t want word to get out, so everything was treated very discreetly.”
A nanny, a bodyguard, and Tom’s sister allegedly joined Cruise and Suri during the five-day trip.
However, a representative for Suri’s mother, Katie Holmes, told Gossip Cop that the story is “false.” The media outlet reports that the father and daughter are still not in touch.
“Tom still hasn’t seen Suri, and they remain out of contact as they have for years now,” according to Gossip Cop .
