Following the reports, Katie's lawyer, Jonathan W. Wolfe, rubbished the claims, telling Radar Online: "The story is riddled with falsehoods."
He added: "One would hope there would be more newsworthy items to cover, and publications would avoid reporting as 'facts' claims from anonymous sources peddling such obvious misrepresentations."
Tom and Suri are reportedly estranged, and they haven't been seen in public together for over a decade. Katie was given sole custody of their daughter at the time of their divorce.
The alum has an incredibly close relationship with Suri, who could follow in her mom's footsteps as she has shown a keen interest in the arts.

Speaking about the "very meaningful" process of working with her daughter, Katie told Glamour: "I hope she always does something on my films. I always ask her."
Katie added: "It comes out of love for me to include someone who I love dearly. That's how I like to work. I like to have that kind of feeling. It was very meaningful to me to have her there because she's my heart."
