[Mirror] Mission Impossible star Tom Cruise  has denied cutting youngest daughter Suri out of his life since splitting from Katie Holmes.
Legal papers written by Cruise give unique insight into the pair's relationship, with the actor saying he has "cheerful" phone calls with the seven-year-old when working abroad and remains in touch with ex-wife Katie through emails.
Cruise, who is suing  US publisher of Life & Style and In Touch magazines after they claimed he "abandoned" his daughter, has also spoken for the first time about his split with his ex.
"I didn't expect it," the actor said of the end of the couple's five year marriage. "To be 50 and to have experiences and to think you have a grip on everything, and then it hits you - this is it, what life can do to you."
In legal documents obtained by Radar, Cruise continued: "As my numerous emails with Suri's mother during this time period demonstrate, I was a constant presence in Suri's life.
"While I'm sure my daughter misses me when I am not with her (as I miss her), she is a very happy child, and we have a wonderful relationship," his argument continued. 
Katie filed for divorce on 29 June 2012, five days before Tom's 50th birthday.
The actor has taken out a $50 million lawsuit against the US publisher of Life & Style and In Touch magazines after they ran stories claiming the 51-year-old "abandoned" his daughter after divorcing Katie in June 2012.
Life & Style's cover shouted "Suri In Tears, Abandoned By Her Dad," while In Touch's cover headline read "Abandoned By Daddy" above a photo of the 7-year-old.
In the two-page description of his relationship with Suri in the case against the publisher, the actor explained: "I have in no way cut Suri out of my life - whether physically, emotionally, financially or otherwise.
"Even during the times when I was working overseas and was not able to see Suri in person, we were (and continue to be) extremely close."
The actor, who was previously married to Nicole Kidman, went on to say they were in regular contact via "cheerful phone calls" despite his hectic film schedule and was frequently in touch with ex-wife katie, too.
