Although there has been no confirmation, yet recent reports suggested that Jamie Foxx has kept his relationship with Katie Holmes private out of respect for Suri Cruise, the actor's daughter.

Jaime, who was a good friend of Tom Cruise, has been dating Katie for several years, according to Inquisitr. The couple has managed to keep the relationship silent because both of them denied the relationship.

However, according to recent sources, the denial was due to the fact that Katie's daughter, Suri is mature now, and Katie and Jamie don't want her to see everything the tabloids write about her parents.

However, now that the cat is out of the bag, Foxx and Holmes are gearing themselves up for the media. Katie is already fearing that she will have photographers plaguing her when she leaves her home with her daughter since she is in a relationship with her ex's friend.

With reports having alleged that Tom Cruise has been absent from his daughter's life due to his affiliation with Scientology, Jamie Foxx has more or less become a father figure for the 10-year-old.

Katie, however, has total faith in Jaime, and his parenting ability. According to an insider close to the family, Jamie, Katie and Suri already behave like a little family, and he wants to protect Suri.

"He doesn't want to see her face splashed across magazines and on websites. Never in any part of Jamie's career did he parade his [two] daughters around in front of the cameras and he's making sure the same doesn't happen with Suri," an insider revealed to Hollywood Life.

Despite all the rumors, Jamie Foxx and Katie Holmes are yet to confirm that they are a couple. So, fans will have to wait for confirmation from either of them to believe the rumors.
