Brooke Shields 'stopped receiving cake from Tom Cruise' after Suri was cut from Christmas card

Brooke Shields says she stopped receiving Christmas cake and cards from Tom Cruise, admitting she doesn't know "what happened".

The actress, 57, revealed she used to get the seasonal gifts from the Top Gun star as she was "on the list for a while".

She says she "had a good 10 year run" in getting the $126 bundt cake that Cruise, 60, sends his famous friends for the holidays.

“I got the coconut cake every year, which I was very happy [about],” she said.

Brooke went onto say the actor cut his ex-wife Katie Holmes and daughter Suri from his annual Christmas card.

“It was from them and Suri [at first], so it was the three of them, and then soon it was no Suri and no Katie and just Tom,” she told People.

“Then it went from just Tom for a while, but not every holiday. And then the cake stopped.”

The actors became embroiled in a very public feud back in 2005 after Brooke opened up about her struggles with postpartum depression.

Tom accused her of spreading "irresponsible misinformation" during a heated Today Show interview, where he decided it was his duty as a Scientologist to criticise her medication choices.

"The thing that I'm saying about Brooke is that there's misinformation," he told then-host Matt Lauer. "She doesn't understand the history of psychiatry."

When Matt challenged him on the issue, Tom controversially responded: "I disagree with it. She doesn't know what these drugs are, and for her to promote it is irresponsible."

Brooke's husband Chris Henchy called to tell her what had happened and urged her to respond.

She said Tom should "stick to fighting aliens" and later wrote an op-ed in The New York Times defending medication.

In the piece, Brooke said Tom's comments were a "disservice to mothers everywhere".

The pair, who had worked together on Endless Love, reunited unexpectedly in April 2006.

Brooke went into hospital in Los Angeles to give birth to her youngest daughter, Grier Henchy, where Katie Holmes had given birth to her and Tom's daughter Suri Cruise a few hours earlier.

Months later Brooke attended their wedding as a gesture that she and Tom had reconciled.

Suri and Grier even celebrated their first birthdays together, but the friendship ended in 2012 when Tom and Katie got divorced, "which changed everything," Brooke said.

Tom has reportedly been estranged from his daughter Suri since 2013.

The Mirror has contacted Tom Cruise's representative for comment.
