Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise leading separate lives in different Hollywood houses?

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise are no longer live in the same house — according to a new report. Britain’s Grazia magazine claims Holmes is taking steps to distance herself away from the controlling environment of the $35m mansion she shares with the Top Gun star.

Sources say Katie spends most of her time at a comparatively tiny four-bedroom house she and Tom own in Hollywood Hills cul-de-sac.

“Katie just wanted a small retreat where she can just go alone, or with Suri, to have a more normal and private life,” a source said.

“She craves privacy and freedom. Katie can totally relax there and walks around in her pajamas, can talk freely to her family on the phone and sits outside in the backyard by the pool. It’s very cozy and relaxed.

“She has even appointed and vetted her own staff, none of which are affiliated to Scientology.

“Whatever people might think, Katie is doing things of her own accord. She’s sick of people saying she’s controlled.”
