Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes Divorcing

Truth rating: 10

(GettyImages.com)

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are divorcing.

“This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family,” Holmes’ attorney, Jonathan Wolfe, says in a statement.

He adds, “Katie’s primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter’s best interest.”

The couple wed in November 2006.

Their daughter, Suri, is six years old.

    wow, wasn’t expecting this. they make such a lovely couple! i hope they can manage everything with class and respect.

  • Stephanie

    What is up with Tom Cruise? This is his 3rd divorce? Feel bad for Kate, she always looked like she was suffocating, but Suri that will be interesting to see who gets custody, seeing as Tom got custody of the kids he had with Nichole

  • Johnny Mae

    See what the tabloids have done. They want to break all couples in Hollywood up. I don’t see why they stay there. I am so sad.

  • Mar

    I guess the contract is over. Wad waiting on this announcement.

  • Anonymous

    Ever since she married Tom her career disappeared. Apparently he had her turn down “The Dark Knight” because of certain scenes in it. This is speculative of course, but I always got the impression Tom was smothering her.

  • Statcat

    He is so gay. Just like Travolta. Sham marriage to begin with.

  • Anonymous

    I guess her contract was up. I wonder if she’ll ever be able to see Suri again? Nicole barely got to see her children after the divorce. On the upside all of his wives seem to do really well professionally once they break up.

  • Guest

    whats up with all these divorces happening in HollyWood?

  • Johnny Mae

    Children deserve to have both mother & father together. Why do they have children if they can’t stay together? I feel so sorry for Suri who has been hounded by the paps and tabloids. She is just a minor. For this little girl to be going through a divorce with parents is too much for a 6 year old + hounded by tabloids and paps. Why do celebrities let their children go through this? This makes me so sad.

  • Mar

    In this instance she will have full custody. Based on what I suspect the child is either not biologically his or it was in the contract prior to “marriage” that she gets full custody.

  • rowdygirl

    Maybe that depressing, stepford wife look will disappear now.

  • Anonymous

    I’m not surprised. I’m sure living with a person who belongs to a cult must of been hard for Katie. You hate to see couples divorce but hopefully Katie will be able to shine again now.

  • lou

    I think he’s gay..All the ladies are a sham…artificial pregnancies,etc…They can afford it..There’s a few other hot and so called married men in hollywood that are gay..Don’t know why they don’t just come out..It’s not like we are in the ROCK HUDSON AND LIBERACE era..Be true tom yourselves cause people will respect you for it in the end

  • Che Jones

    Katie has never looked happy with him…not real happiness. It always seemed like she was just barely pasting on a smile. He’s a nutjob and she probably figured it out shortly after she married him but it took her this long to figure a way out. Remember, this is the guy who was actively seeking a wife and ran through Scarlett Johansson and a bunch of other hollywood starlets to try to fool some young girl into marrying him. Scarlett said he was scary and very pushy about moving their relationship forward on the fast track. She was smart to get away from him back when she did. I hate that Katie has wasted five good years on him…but, she did get a cute kid out of the deal.

    Everyone connected with the production of The Dark Knight say she was never asked to do the sequel.

  • http://www.facebook.com/RTCastleberry R.T. Castleberry

    Three sham marriages and several children seem to be a bit much to hide your sexual identity. Rock Hudson only had one. Fantasize on, though.

  • http://www.facebook.com/RTCastleberry R.T. Castleberry

    Not too surprising considering he auditioned wives after Nicole. Still, a bummer for all involved.

  • Guest

    she must have only signed a five year contract for their sham marriage , he is as gay as they come

  • Jennifer

    I agree. Some say he’s gay. No idea on that. I do think he’s a cultist and a control freak. He flipped through a half dozen or more until he found Holmes, who was on the rebound, and was young, flattered by the attentions of an A List actor and very malleable.

    Cruise is much too weird for me and I don’t find him the least attractive. Something tells me he has a hair trigger and is probably a nightmare to live with. I’m wondering how Holmes stood it as long as she did. I wish her the best going forward.

  • D. Martin

    This is really sad. I thought they were pretty solid.

  • jojo

    I was expecting this. rumor that he pays these girls and gives them a promise of stardom if they sign a contract. rumor also has it that she was already pregnant by chris klein when she hooked up with cruise. I am really getting sick of gays trying to cover for themselves, yet they are the biggest advocates. I mean this is 2012 just come out of the closet already. who gives a F***

  • Brenda

    It is just amazing that people think they know everyones sexual preference. HOW? And if he is gay? so what??? Perhaps she is a lesbian and this worked well for both of them. I mean if you’re going to speculate, why not make a really big story?

  • Anonymous

    Not shocked that they were gonna get a divorce. I don’t know why, but when Tom has event premiers Katie is barely there with him. I honestly haven’t seen the couple in public since like forever.

  • D. Martin

    Agreed. My brother has been married three times and he’s not gay. He’s a jerk but he’s not gay. Some men — AND women too — are just hard to live with. Some people can be self absorbed and not willing to meet the other person half way. It gets old being in a relationship where you do all the giving and they do all the taking. I’m not saying Tom is like this — I don’t know this — but just because someone gets a divorce — or even more than one — does not mean they are gay. It could be he’s just hard to live with.

    Welcome to Hollywood

  • Danny

    I understand the paparazzi would make it bad, but what’s so wrong with parents being separated/divorced when you’re a kid? For me, I almost think it’s abnormal to find someone who’s parents are both together. And it’s not like the parents knew they were going to divorce six years ago when they had Suri.

  • Danny

    Divorces happen everywhere, they’re just under a big microscope in Hollywood.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_63SFUJ622FEIJ65S5YKIQG425A Sophia

    Wow, bummer, they always seemed like such a down-to-earth couple. Hope they can work things out in the best way for Suri-she is adorable.

  • Mrsscarecrow52

    He is Gay and everyone in hollywood knows it, this marriage was a farce and the kid is not even his
    she was pregnant when they got together with a guy from some band

  • Anonymous

    According to her she was and she turned it down to do Mad Money. The rumour was that Tom Cruise objected to her involvement in the project. Source: http://web.archive.org/web/20080119151112/http://www.vh1.com/movies/news/articles/1579619/20080114/story.jhtml

    katie holmes is a young beautiful woman and she has the saddest eyes. she is leaving that marriage a very wealthy woman and I hope she finds happiness. I don’t think tom cruise is a bad person and I hope he finds happiness as well. I do think there was a contract involved and now its over.

  • Guest

    It is hard on children when their parents divorce—talk to kids (now adults) and they will tell you it is hard. Does not mean that they can not grow up to be well adjusted and happy and have good relationships with both parents. Just takes a lot of work on everyones part.

  • Guest

    Should not post comments as fact when you have no way of knowing if anything you just said is true or not. Should start with, “I heard” or “I read on some blog”. Kind of like me posting, “Mrsscarecrow52 is some 60 year old sitting at home in her basement, collecting Welfare and posting lies about celebs just so people will notice her/him”.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Michael-Grey/100001308117491 Michael Grey

    Katie is very talented and I would love to see her in movies and TV again. He was smothering her. Hopefully her career will rise just like Nicole’s did after the divorce.

  • Johnsmith

    he always has been a fudge packer…call john boy up and have a good time.

  • sapphire85

    Tom cruise is not gay, I think he is hot. I do not believe there was a contract. I read in mags that everyone loves him, he is really great to work with. While they were together she was great in the movie “Don’t be afraid of the dark”. She still has a career. Suri looks like both of them she is his child. It makes me sad when people say he is gay or she is lesbian. I really hope he isn’t i will loose all respect for him.

  • JJ

    I find it strange that she would be seeking sole custody. From everything we can see even though he is eccentric, he seems to love and care for his child. I think it will be interesting to see if this has something to do with him not being the biological father of Suri. I mean, it’s pretty clear she is Katie’s biological child, she looks so much like her Mother but there has been talk from the very beginning that Tom Cruise may not be the biological father. I just don’t really understand why she would not want him to have joint custody of their child, there has to be some reason behind that.

  • JJ

    I tend to believe that Suri is not biologically his. It’s really the only thing that makes sense.

  • JJ

    Personally I think it’s better to have two parents apart that actually get along then having two parents together who are miserable and yell and fight in front of their kids day in day out. Life is really not black and white, when people go into a relationship they don’t think that they are going to end up divorced. Honestly as long as children have someone to love and support them and teach them the right way in life that is all that really matters. My parents divorced when I was 12 and I was so much happier once I realized that I no longer had to watch my parents fight in a war every day.

  • JJ

    Don’t you think that 3 different marriages, to 3 different women throws that argument out the window? I highly doubt he is gay. However I agree that he probably is not the father of Suri

  • LadyK

    Just a heads up… Just cos someone is hot doesn’t mean they aren’t gay… I think Zachary quinto is hot…

    And you do realize that you should t believe everything you read in mags? If a person is bankable then they will get jobs and any costars or production crew would be a fool to say “yeah that guy is a right bastard to work with”… Because costars and crew can be replaced….

  • JJ

    Suri looks like Katie..She never has looked like Tom. I would place money on him not being her Father. He couldn’t get his first wife pregnant or Nicole Kidman pregnant. Why all of a sudden do you think he was about to produce a child? It’s called a sperm bank!

    Nicole was pregnant and had a miscarriage a few months before her and Tom divorced. It’s not unusual for a daughter to favor the mother. Your comment is not only cruel but classless.

  • Luthstone

    I agree with you. Am so sad with nasty comments from people. We have all our choices in life the same with Tom Cruise. The media people love to sensationalized stories for their own interest undermining people’s feelings.

    Don’t forget the rumours back when they ‘hooked up’… There was very strong rumours that he PAID her to marry him, and I guess it was a 5-year contract…

  • miri

    WOW. completely unexpected! They were such a cute couple! i really don’t understand why, but I think it’s wrong to blame either one of them, because if it wasn’t mutual decision, it wouldn’t have happening without a “fight” or something.
    It’s kind of strange for Katie to ask for a sole custody, but I really hope they can work things out.

  • http://www.facebook.com/sfdaquino Susan Falcone Daquino

    Well, from this reader’s point of view, it’s not a surprise. You really didn’t see them doing much together as a family, you always saw Katie out with Suri 95 percent of the time at least in the media. And I think the Scientology thing was a huge “elephant” in their marriage. That is probably why she’s seeking sole custody. She had to give up her faith when she married Tom. He seems very controlling. He stunted her career, etc……………Lawyers, start your engines because I’m sure there is a whopper of a pre-nup!

  • Andy Hickes

    are you saying that just becasue someone gets married-even more than once-it does not mean that they are straight? and that It could be that he’s just easy to live with?

  • Inknowwhatyoudid

    From what I understand, legally, a child born to a married couple is legally considered the husband’s child by default. It might be different if it was proven that she was conceived as a result of Katie cheating, but if they used some other conception method agreed to by both of them at the time, I would think that Tom would be considered the legal father. As for her seeking sole custody, the only reason I can think of is that perhaps there is some reason we don’t know about that Tom is an unsuitable parent. You can’t use his public behavior toward Suri to judge whether he is or not, he surely wouldn’t behave inappropriately in public if he was smart. Then again, maybe it’s as simple as the fact that Katie is a hands-on parent and doesn’t want Tom to have custody and turn her over to nannys because he’s too busy working. Lord knows he’s got enough money that he could quit working till she’s of age, but we know that’s not going to happen.

  • Photoartist63

    Have any of you ppl ever met Tom or know him in a friendship capacity? I’m guessing no..amazing how so many folks can sit back and comment about a person they have no clue about…gay, straight..who cares. They are humans going though a rough time.

  • D. Martin

    Hi Andy – No. Let me clarify. The topic was that they were “sham” marriages. To COVER up the fact that they are gay. What I’m saying is that is not necessarily true.

    There are people – in show business and everyday life – that have been married and divorced multiple times. It does not mean they are gay. Sometimes you just have someone who is a hopeless romantic. They marry multiple times hoping for the best each time. Sometimes you find someone who marries just to keep from being alone. The person they are with is not Mr. or Mrs. Right — they are Mr. or Mrs. Right-Now. That’s the saddest of all. Because the person they married has the right to be the ONE not the one someone settles for. Ya know?

  • Carolynne59

    WOW Danny,

    >>>I almost think it’s abnormal to find someone who’s parents are both together. <<

    You must hang around in some sad circles.

  • Jolene Heard

    That would be wrong. A child is legally the mother’s child by default. It is very rare that a father is given sole custody.
