Katie Holmes has reportedly been hit hard by the recent allegations that her marriage to Tom Cruise is on the rocks.

The rush of U.S. tabloid revelations include claims the couple are undergoing a trial separation, with Katie planning to flee her controlling husband by taking their daughter Suri to New York.

A friend of the actress tells OK! mag, "Katie wishes she didn't care about the gossip and rumors, but it is hard for her not to,"

Katie is said to be hurt by the persistent gossip surrounding her marriage but is dealing with it in the only way she knows how.

"Her solution is to keep going about her life, business as usual," the friend continues.

"She'll keep a smile on her face when she's out in public with Tom and keep the hurt hidden at home."
