The lives of Hollywood stars Tom Cruise, Jamie Foxx, and Katie Holmes have been interconnected but not always in the most positive ways. Cruise and Foxx became friends on the sets of their 1994 action film Collateral. The Top Gun actor then dated and married Katie Holmes in 2006.
Together, they were one of the most popular celebrity couples known by their joint moniker “Tomkat”. In 2012, Holmes and Cruise shocked fans by announcing their separation after 5 years of marriage. But the more staggering revelation that rubbed salt into the Mission Impossible star’s would come nearly a year later in 2013 when Katie Holmes hooked up with Cruise’s friend and co-actor, Jamie Foxx.
