Katie Holmes's family are not impressed by her new relationship with Tom Cruise, according to reports.

The Batman Begins star's uncle told a family friend that he does not expect the relationship to last, according to the National Enquirer magazine.

Mike Sitter, a parishioner at the Holmes family's church, explained, "Katie's uncle Fritz said he reckons it will only last a couple of months because of the age gap.

"He approached me and said, 'So what do you make of this Tom and Katie business? I think Tom seems like a real jerk. I give it 60 days.'"
