Members of the US public are suspicious of Tom Cruise's relationship with Katie Holmes.
Polls in US magazines People and US Weekly showed that the majority of readers think that the relationship is a publicity stunt.
63% of readers in the People poll aren't convinced by Cruise's constant declarations of love, while 65% of entrants in the US Weekly poll agree that the stars are being insincere.
Both Cruise and Holmes release films next month - Cruise stars in The War of the Worlds, and Holmes appears in Batman Begins.
A sceptical columnist for the New York Times wrote, "Through all the changes that have swept Hollywood over the years, one thing still endures: strategic love. But it is still the easiest way to grab flattering publicity."
