It’s 51-year-old Jamie’s
liaison with 21-year-old
Sela, however, that friends
say has shocked Katie the
most. The pair were snapped
together on August 17, but
Jamie slammed claims that
there’s anything going on
between them.
“I’m escorting her to
my car, to put her in the
car – my artist, who hangs
out with my kids, who’s as
young as my daughter,” he
said, referring to his girl
Corinne Foxx, 25. Jamie also
has a 10-year-old daughter,
Annalise Bishop.
Sources close to Katie,
who split from Scientologist
Tom Cruise in 2012, say it
was the former Dawson’s
Creek star who finally pulled
the plug on the relationship.
While the pair had a
deep connection and fiery
chemistry, the physical
distance between them –
he was in based Los Angeles
and she in New York – and
Jamie’s inability to commit
were the deal-breakers.
Katie, 40, is a single parent
to 13-year-old daughter Suri
Cruise, her only child with
Tom, and has longed to
remarry and have more kids.
But sources claim the
dad-of-two refused to give up
his bachelor ways, continuing
to flirt with other women
when Katie wasn’t around.
And the pair were “arguing
nonstop over his partying”
in the lead-up to the split,
according to the source.
