KLEIN LAUGHS OFF HOLMES BABY GIFT REPORTS

KATIE HOLMES former fiance CHRIS KLEIN insists he won't be sending any gifts when her baby is born - because she is part of his past.

Klein, who became engaged to DAWSON'S CREEK star Holmes in December 2003 after five years together, sees no point in congratulating her on the birth of her child by new fiance TOM CRUISE, because it has nothing to do with him.

He says, "No, I don't think so. Her and my relationship is a time in the past.

"And it's a time that I'll always look back with in fondness, but her and I have moved on, and she has a separate life and I have a separate life. And it's better that we keep it that way."

Holmes and Cruise announced the pregnancy in October last year (05). It is unknown when the baby is due.

wow, he's really jerky.

That is a little rude not even to send a present, but it makes me think they had a bad break-up or something.

I would never send a gift to someone I used to have a relationship with. Why would I? I didn't spend one millisecond wondering why none of my serious ex's sent me a gift when my child was born.

He's right. That is something in the past. Leave it there.

Relationship over, gifts over. I see nothing wrong with that.

None of my break ups were what I would call bad and I still wouldn't send a gift to any of my ex's for any reason. I don't wish any of them ill will and I'll speak to them if I run into them, but I don't feel any need to spend money on them anymore.

Can't believe he wants nothing to do with his baby!

He is right about not sending a gift to someone who was in his past, BUT, from some of the interviews I have read he has given, he is kinda a jerk. Plus he looks like a ken doll, all plastic looking.

It wouldn't even occur to me to send gifts to someone I broke up with or that broke up with me. Who does that? I wouldn't even know what to think if I got a present on my doorstep from my ex boyfriend. I'd start considering a restraining order.

Second that one muchlove. I never sent a present to my ex husband when he had his second and third child with his current wife. How odd is that unless the relationship ended civil or you have that kind of relationship. Id be alittle upset if my husband sent his ex-fiancee a baby gift. There is no need to.

I think I'm reacting to how cavalier he sounds, and from other interviews where he sounds like an ass.

totally a poor man's Keanu.

I don't know, after five fucking years together, I think a little, "hope you're happy and life is good" gift wouldn't be out of line. If you truly moved on you would send a gift.

I thought the same thing!

Well, I feel kinda strange. My exhusband and his new wife sent me a baby gifts for my two sons. He is the father of my two oldest children and she is their stepmum. Was that weird? I mean we don't hang out. We are pretty civil. I let him have more time with the kids than our divorce said I should but he does that to me too. I say we get along more now that we are married to other people! She isn't like my best girlfriend or anything but it is nice to be able to talk to someone who thinks my former in-laws are crazy too!

To each her own, but I disagree. I'm not hung up on any of my ex's, but I wouldn't feel the need to buy them a gift, either.

No hard feelings, but I don't need to keep any connection with them by sending them congratulatory gifts.

I think if you've truly moved on you wouldn't send one.

But a "hope you're happy and life is good" wouldn't be too pathetic. As long as it was a one time thing, like the first Xmas/birthday apart or something. Maybe yearly if they stayed on good or speaking terms.
