Katie Holmes: New York's my home now

It's crunch time for Tom and Katie over where they'll live

Thursday, 9 October 2008

The standing ovation that Katie Holmes received for her first performance of All My Sons three weeks ago was a sign that all her hard work had paid off.

Husband Tom Cruise, 46, described her achievement as ‘extraordinary’, but behind the scenes 29-year-old Katie’s new-found love of New York has caused a growing rift between the pair.

‘Katie loves New York and considers it “her city”,’ a source tells Now.

‘Despite Tom’s firm belief that they should be in LA as that’s where the movie industry is, Katie’s enjoyed being with the grittier, more down-to-earth young actors she’s met in New York.

'It’s even transforming the way she dresses – she’s beginning to unveil more fashionable outfits whenever she’s out on her own. Compared to New York, she finds LA fake and unpleasant.’

The problem is that Tom wants her to return to LA in the New Year – but if Katie’s play has its Broadway run extended, friends say a power struggle is certain.

The premiere of Tom’s controversial Nazi film Valkyrie – which has already been put back by several months – is coming up in LA in February, but Katie’s play is set to run at least until January.
