Soon-to-be single dad Tom Cruise was reunited with daughter Suri today, in his first visit with her since Katie Holmes filed for divorce against the “Top Gun” actor.
Cruise cradled his 6-year-old daughter in his arms as he dodged photographers outside his Manhattan hotel.
The “Dawson’s Creek” beauty Holmes, 33, filed for divorce in Manhattan Supreme Court on June 28 and the matter became public one day later.
The Tinseltown couple settled their differences quickly, coming to terms on a custody and support deal on July 9.
It’s believed the custody pact put severe restrictions on how much Cruise, 50, can preach Scientology to his little girl.
The Ohio-raised, Catholic Holmes reportedly petitioned for primary custody, fearing her daughter was old enough now to be indoctrinated into Cruise’s controversial Hollywood sect.
Holmes’ sneak divorce attack was weeks in the planning, in a classified-need-to-know operation worthy of a “Mission Impossible” script, according to published reports.
She reportedly changed cell phones, hired new staff, covertly rented a high-security Chelsea apartment and executed her plans all while Cruise was in Iceland filming “Oblivion.”
