Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes Divorcing
6/29/2012
by Jordan Zakarin

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are ending their five-year marriage.

"This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family," Holmes' attorney, Jonathan Wolfe, said in a statement, first given to People Magazine. "Katie's primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter's best interest."

Cruise's rep, Amanda Lunberg, said in a statement, "Kate has filed for divorce and Tom is deeply saddened and is concentrating on his three children. Please allow them their privacy to work this out."

The actor and actress were married in a star-studded Italian wedding in November, 2006, and have a six-year-old daughter named Suri.

Cruise was previously married to actress Nicole Kidman, from 1990-2001, and actress Mimi Rogers, from 1987-1990. Holmes is 16 years his junior; she was previously engaged to actor Chris Klein.

Holmes is perhaps best known for her lead role in the teen drama "Dawson's Creek", while Cruise has toplined a long list of hit films. His most recent effort, the 80s hair-metal musical Rock of Ages, struggled at the box office, while this winter's Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol proved a massive hit.

He will next be seen as Jack Reacher in the big screen adaptation of the action novel One Shot.

I'm amazed it lasted as long as it did. I bet you anything she won't have much of a career after this; especially if the divorce is a bad one.

AKA · 06-29-2012, 03:36 PM

Maybe she didn't want to raise her child as a member of Mr. Cruise's cult.

This doesn't surprise me a bit. There's something strange about Tom Cruise.

hawkeye123 · 06-29-2012, 05:01 PM

It doesn't surprise me at all either.I thought that it would of ended much sooner.Katie has looked unhappy for years.And i agree with you Tom seems like a very weird guy too me too.

robyrob · 06-29-2012, 05:22 PM

He'll never, ever be able to live that one down. I'm sure he WISHES we'd all forget, though!!

Tom is a proud member of the church of Scientology AKA the church of L. Ron Hubbard. The author of Dienetics. John Travolta also belongs to it and so does Lisa Marie Presley as well as others. But don't think you're going to join if your not rich. They want nothing to do with the poor.

Below is a story about this guys life and the habitual liar he was. You have got to read this.

Whoa!! I didn't see that one coming!!!

Wait a minute, yeah, I did. Gee, what a shock.

Another celebrity marriage bites the dust.

UMFaninMD · 06-30-2012, 11:42 AM

She's smart to get out. Look what it did for Nicole Kidman. It seems when you're married to Tom Cruise, you can't be more famous than he is or voice doubts about Scientology. He just got way too weird.

Schmoopie · 07-04-2012, 04:06 AM

He's definitely not the same as he used to be. I have to admit I was a little surprised since they seemed happy but I don't really care if they stay together one way or another. I was surprised that they got together in the first place, actually.

Katie should've fled that nutjob years ago.
