Katie Holmes has taken steps to repair her relationship with her father Martin – by inviting him to visit her in Germany. Holmes’ dad, along with her mom Kathleen and brother, Martin Jr. visited the 28-year-old in Berlin earlier this month, where husband Tom Cruise is filming Valkyrie.

A devout Catholic, Martin was reportedly upset when Holmes fell pregnant with Cruise’s child – as well as with his daughter’s conversion to controversial religion Scientology.

A family friend tells British magazine Star, “Marty came back raving about how Katie was so happy. He was delighted to connect with his family. He’s never been more enthusiastic about spending time with Tom and Katie.”
