Afterwards, wrapped up tight against the New York wind, Suri cute in a rose pink woollen coat and matching sequined headband, Katie casual in jeans and a stylish three-quarter length petrol blue woollen jacket, the two took a stroll together hand in hand in the streets around their hometown of six months.Almost inseparable, Katie and Suri will be apart for Christmas this year, as they were for November’s Thanksgiving holiday, as Suri will be spending it with her actor dad Tom Cruise together with her half-sister and brother. It is the end to a dramatic year for Katie, who is currently enjoying critical acclaim with her new Broadway play Dead Accounts. She surprised the world with her separation and subsequent quickie divorce from actor husband Tom Cruise in the summer, asking for custody of Suri, and upping sticks to New York City from Los Angeles.The actor couple’s marriage had lasted five years, with she and Tom marrying in a fairytale ceremony in 2006, at the magnificent 15th-century Odescalchi Castle overlooking Lake Bracciano outside Rome. Mission Impossible star Tom is also currently in the Big Apple promoting his latest movie, Jack Reacher though it is not known if the two met up at any point to mark Katie's birthday. The 50-year-old actor has said that he will be spending a family Christmas, possibly in the UK, possibly back home in Los Angeles, with his three children Bella, 20 and Connor, 17 – his adopted children with former wife Nicole Kidman, and Suri.
