They decided to settle out of court...
Tom Cruise has officially settled out of court with Bauer Media, the company that publishes In Touch Weekly and Life & Style.
Tom Cruise has decided to drop the lawsuit he originally filed in October 2012 against the company for publishing Suri Cruise abandonment stories.
They have decided to settle the case out of court; however, the terms for the settlement have not been released.

E! News[1] has obtained the stipulation of dismissal that was filed by The U.S. District office in Los Angeles. Tom Cruise’s attorney Bert Fields has also released a statement today confirming the dismissal.
"Tom Cruise's lawsuit against Bauer Publishing, In Touch and Life & Style magazines has been settled," the statement read.
It appears as though the two parties are now on good terms. Bert Fields also reiterated that the details of the settlement are confidential and clarified the intentions of In Touch and Life & Style.
"The terms of the settlement were not disclosed and remain confidential. Bauer Publishing, as well as In Touch and Life & Style magazines, never intended to communicate that Tom Cruise had cut off all ties and abandoned his daughter, Suri, and regret if anyone drew that inference from anything they published," he added.
If Tom Cruise and Bauer Media had not settled, the case would have gone to trial in June 2014.
