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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Maybe that depressing, stepford wife look will disappear now.

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

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

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

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.

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***

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.

Welcome to Hollywood

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

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

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.

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”.

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

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.

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.

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….

another happy marriage ruined by scientology

From the start, I knew this marriage wasn’t going to last. Not shocked.

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.

I have many doubt about Katie Holmes divorce.

For anyone curious to see how McCarthy’s latest turn in Playboy, um, stacks up against previous appearances

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!

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.

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?

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.
