Body Language Reads of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes


First photo both in sunglasses.  Tom giving a gallant hand. More effort on his part than hers. See how his arm is not just holding her hand but lifting it up.  The fact she is offering her outside hand and arm and has a purse between them and is not wrapping her fingers around his shows her desire to maintain space and distance in the relationship.



Secound photo her in the black dress -  she is out in front in the relationship.  A shift for them as he use to always walk in front. His top down hand hold shows his desire to stay in control even though he is in back.

Body Language Reads of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes


She is playing for the camera. A very seductive chin tilt soft lip smile.
He is slightly tense.  See the tension is his lips in the covering smile.  Again giving her a supportive hand hold. See how he has to twist his hand back sideways and up to make sure he gives his support. He is dragging her from the photos.
