Katie Holmes' father reportedly unhappy about unwed pregnancy

I think he probably said something like "I would have rathered they married before getting pregnant", and it has been twisted and sensationalized into "unhappy", "infuriated" etc. If the media can't get your attention with sensationalized headlines, they lose their bread and butter.

Remember just a little while ago when "everybody knew" their relationship was just a publicity stunt?? Most media usually twists the facts to make them appear worse than they are or to suit the agenda of their advertising sponsors (drug companies and doctors are some of the biggest). So it's impossible for the media to be a credible, impartial source of information.

In actuality, since we haven't heard from her dad direct, we'll never know until we hear from him, will we? I'd just assume he never said anything, and this is just another tabloid rumor fabricated out of the vivid "imagination" of journalists.

I really wish that Tom Cruise would put up his own website, with video and letters from himself and Katie, giving their own side of the story, without all the added speculation and assumption. But I guess elusivity is part of celebrity. *sigh*.

If Mr.Holmes is as devout to his faith as he seems to be and practices what he preaches, he must be extremely upset and disappointed. Not because a new life is being brought into the world, but because a man in whom you trusted, having made a PROMISE to you about how he would respect and treat your daughter and respect YOU has lied. How easily would you then believe anything he were to promise you again?
She has been trying to do the right thing by her own faith for 26 years and Cruise, although she is an adult and gave consent no doubt, was not unselfish enough to 1-respect a promise he had made to her father, and 2- help someone he "loves" to keep a sacred and spiritual promise she had made to herself and her faith. I can completely understand her father's dissillusionment and possible feeling(s) of betrayal.
Remember love and lust are two different things. I believe that if he truly loved her and respected her as much as he claims to, he would have taken precautions to help her maintain her virginity until they were wed (aren't they to be wed in November...that's in one month...now...) I think at the stage that they are at in their relationship that they are more in lust with one another than in love. Love of course is perhaps there, but lust has taken precedence.
It's not like her dad won't eventually get over it, what is done is done, but the foundation on which one starts, especially for those who are very spiritual and religious can play a big role in the final outcome of the relationship down the road. Does anyone know the statistics on the duration of marriages when a couple has a child before they get married? I would be curious. Only time will tell I suppose.
