How Brooke Shields Knew Her Friendship With Tom Cruise Was Over

Tom Cruise famously gifts his celebrity pals a decadent coconut bundt cake from Doan's Bakery for the holidays and select special occasions. After the "Edge of Tomorrow" star and Brooke Shields made up, she was on the exclusive "Cruise Cake" list. "I had a good 10-year run, and I got the coconut cake every year, which I was very happy [about]," she told People. While there was no public falling out this time around, Shields started to suspect her friendship with Cruise was in danger as the frequency of the cakes from him and his then-wife Katie Holmes dwindled. "It was from them and Suri, so it was the three of them, and then soon it was no Suri and no Katie and just Tom," the "Pretty Baby" actor said. "Then it went from just Tom for a while, but not every holiday. And then the cake stopped."

Before the cakes quit arriving, Shields and Cruise were rather close. Not only was she invited to his wedding to Holmes, but the two celebrities had a joint birthday party for their daughters, as they were born on the same day, Shields revealed to People.

In 2016, Shields was asked by a fan on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen" why she attended Cruise's wedding after he bashed her in the media. "He apologized like a gentleman, and c'mon, if you're invited to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes's wedding, you say, 'Yes,'" Shields said. Later, she would revisit the infamous feud.
