Katie Holmes is said to be much happier with boyfriend Jamie Foxx than she was while married to Tom Cruise.

According to a new report, the dynamic between Holmes and Foxx is much healthier and freer than the actress' past relationship with Cruise, who she divorced in 2012.

“Katie Holmes feels much more equal to Jamie Foxx than she ever did with Tom Cruise,” a source close to the actress told Hollywood Life on September 11. “He makes her feel like a grown woman. Jamie respects Katie’s opinion and her independence, and he would never dream of telling her what to do. She loves how Jamie keeps his private life private, and how he shuns the media spotlight. It fits with Katie’s sensibilities much more than the crazy, over-the-top life she shared with Tom."

“Katie and Jamie are deeply in love and committed to each other, but have no plans to get married — at least not yet,” the source continued. “Katie’s done the whole marriage thing before and she’s in no rush to head down the aisle again. She’s very happy with their relationship, and how her life is now.”

As for what Holmes likes most about the leading man in her life, another source said that she loves his sense of humor and appreciates the type of father he is.

“Katie adores Jamie’s sense of humor,” the second source close to Foxx added. “Like most of the world, she sees him as a genuinely wonderful and funny guy; she’s constantly laughing with him... He makes her very happy."
