Just one day after the videos of Tom Cruise at the Janet Jackson show hit social media, the singer took to Instagram to share a picture of her own. It was a solo shout-out, too, as opposed to the photo dump of pics with Angela Bassett, Ciara, and Katie Holmes, among others, days prior. And, if that, coupled with the cozy pose, wasn’t enough to confirm their friendship, her caption certainly was. Along with the image, the singer wrote, “T, it was so good seeing you and nice spending some time together.” T!
Just over a month later, Cruise confirmed that “T” was, indeed, the nickname Jackson used for him — and insinuated that it was an honor reserved for Miss Jackson. Asked by ET if it was the moniker used by all those close to him, he quipped, “Look, she can call me whatever she wants. She’s Janet Jackson.” Fair enough.

In the same interview, Cruise also revealed that he and Jackson had hung out while he was shooting “Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One” in England, where she lives with her son, Eissa Al Mana. In fact, it was there that he’d decided he had to see one of her shows. It certainly didn’t disappoint — and the actor urged Janet fans to get tickets themselves. We stan a supportive friendship!
