New York, July 27 :  Actor Tom Cruise is reportedly trying to "buy" his daughter Suri's love with expensive gifts.

Suri, 6, now lives with her mother Katie Holmes, who seperated from Cruise recently.

Cruise is keen to make Suri remember the lavish lifestyle he offered to her. When Cruise and Suri reunited July 17 the first time since Holmes filed for divorce, he spent a whopping $170,00 on his daughter, reports showbizspy.com.

Recent reports claimed the 50-year-old actor is buying a new home here so he can spend more time with Suri.

"Tom's looking for a new home here. He wants a fresh start. He does not want to go back to the East Village apartment where he was living with Katie," said a source.

"He's looking for something that's very private, where he won't have to deal with going through a lobby, and people outside all the time."

"He also wants to have a nice amount of space for Suri, with outdoor space. That could mean high-end luxury apartments, but he's also looking at houses outside of the city or in gated communities," added the source.
