The pair spent some QT together, after Katie cancelled her first public appearance since the news of the split was announced last month.

According to reports, Tom has annoyed Katie but trying to be seen as the 'fun' parent in the divorce, while Katie tries to instill routine in their six-year-old daughter.
Tom is also said to be looking for properties in New York, in a bid to be closer to Suri.
He currently resides in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles with his two other children Isabella, 19, and 17-year-old Connor, but has been looking at buying a base in either Westchester County, Stamford or Greenwich.
A source told the New York Daily News: "He wants something extremely secluded where Suri can play without paparazzi watching. There are lots of them in these towns."
