Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes to divorce after 5 years of marriage

From TMZ
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are getting divorced after 5 years of marriage. Katie's attorney, Jonathan Wolfe released a statement saying, "This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family."
Wolfe adds, "Katie's primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter's best interest."
It's unclear if divorce papers have been filed with the court. Tom and Katie have one child together, Suri, who is 6-years-old.
Jeez! Now, I didn't see that coming. Did you? So after that jump on Oprah's couch, they couldn't make it work? #Eya!

Ken said...

Wow! just remembering the jumping up and down on the couch on Oprah show again and his loud profession of "love"
Where did all that excitement go?
Somehow I feel that Katie Holmes and her daughter will be the looser in all this. Katie was too young and a bit naive IMHO.
I wonder who will be the next girl in line for Tom Cruise?

The jump that killed his image.Now its divorce after all those expensive wedding in italy.He couldnt live with her for 5 yrs and that makes Nicole Kidman a barve woman for living with him more than 5 yrs and i am happy she(Nicole) is living well with her hubby Keith Urban

Linda how can you say you didn't see it coming??

When a young Catholic girl decides to marry a man who believes in Science and thinks she is going to feel the love felt in movies.

That guy put her career to a complete stop and she is finally breaking away. Now that's one divorce I'm happy about.

MAMA PUT said...

I swear Linda, that is exactly what came to mind!! The Jump on Oprah's couch! Damn! I don't know them but it's really sad and disheartening to see all sorts of people running out of marriage. God please help us.

I saw it coming oh! All Hollywood marriages get there sooner or later. Even the seemingly stable ones. Its just a matter of time. I just didn't think this would come before Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon!

This is marriage o, not a mirage!

Izehi said...

Not really surprised here.
I am more surprised that it lasted this long.
I dont think he would be an easy person to live with.
I wonder how that scientology thing working out for him lol.. please come back to reality, marriage takes more than money, fame and smiles..
Marriage takes compassion, forgiveness, and understanding and always keeping that spark alive with your spouse.. such a shame.. *SMH*

Its just sad!!!nawa!!and she gave up everytn including her career so she cld be wt him!nonsense!!!well its tym for her to soar like nicole kidman.

MAXIMUS™ said...

Yup! I saw it coming! This is what happens when you marry a rich/famous dude for the fame and the riches! You end up marrying into all kinds of evil that you eventually can't live with anymore. Reference to Scientology and Gay tins. Oshisco!

I tot this was the love that was gonna last,guess love isnt always enough.... Now i dunno wat to even think again..#dissapointed#

I concur! I'm so happy it happened. The poor girl can finally be happy. She looks miserable in all her pictures and outings.

Anonymous said...

Linda, you mean to tell me that you've never heard that Katie was just a beard for Tom. in essence, what it means is that her contract with Tom has ended.

ChiChiLuv said...

Make the girl go rest, I know so na really battle she been dey because Tom Cruise Mapother does not come across as someone who is easy to live with! It started out like a lovely fairy tale but I think it soon turned into a nightmare because dude is famously CONTROLLING! The only benefit to that marriage for her was more money and increased fame BUT other than that, I feel she lost more than she actually gained with reference to her career. She probably thought marrying him would help catapault her career to the next stratosphere but it didn't especially after that jump on the couch and the Matt Lauer Scientology centered interview.

It must really hurt her to see Michelle William's career soar so high and she (Katie) had been the break out start of Dawson's Creek NOT Michelle. I don't know if she can gain back that momentum she had after all the flops she's had one famously being the Jackie Kennedy Onassis story.

I wish her luck but I don't pity her. She didn't go into this marriage blindly, she is richer than she went in so she made her bargain.

Anonymous said...

Thank God! Now Katie is free to go for the Dawson's creek reunion,was expecting this divorce...Tom is a really difficult person to cope with
Linda btw wat is wrong wif u??slow news day?

Linda you didn't see it coming? Stop now. Even Peter Griffin from Family Guy saw it coming. Look for the episode where Katie Holmes unlocks her scientology shackle and picks race (the episode is called Lois kills Stewie) Weres that marry in that Hollywood sha... As an aside, if you haven't seen Family Guy, you should).

All these scietology bla bla bla talk. If is isn't scientologist has she not been cooked 1 way or d other? All these movie stars have 1 affiliation or d other with bloody evil beliefs and gods.
It dint work out doesnot mean she isn't cooked too.

EVEN PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 35 YEARS AND MORE, YOU'LL THINK THEY MUST HAVE GONE THROUGH IT ALL, THEN YOU HEAR THEY'RE GETTING DIVOURCE.
THOUGH IT TAKES THE GRACE OF GOD TO STAY IN A MARRIAGE. EVEN MEN OF GOD ARE NOW GETTING DIVOURCE, TALKLESS OF THOSE THAT DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT THE BIBLE EXIT.

I, for some odd reason is glad this " arranged Marriage" is OVER!!!
Sweetie pie Tommy, you can come out of the closet now, your buddy John Travolta has been called out! Scientology cant cover you up anymore.......heheehhee

Anonymous said...

For some reason, Katie never looked happy. Katie, was obsessed with Tom cruise prior to meeting him, I guess when she finally got with him, she realized he's worse than she thought.

And, she also found out Tom Cruise is creeping with other men just like John Travolta. Many upcoming divorces!!!

Anonymous said...

It's katie's fault, maybe a lot of women will learn from this. She wanted to marry Tom Cruise she sees in movies, but in real life, she sees that he's nothing close to the movies.

It's like, women getting with Ryan Gosling because of his role in Notebook. It's a movie, guys. And, scientology is no joke, she probably got tired of the crap.

Happy Divorcing!

Ulom said...

Its all over d internet and in every1ns mouth @ lola.
I'm not surprised ' I saw it coming. She has not been happy in her marriage at all.
Abeg I'm happy for her, for taking d bold step!
I personally think, Tom's marriages would have lasted, if he had stopped hiding em under his shadow!

For people that think Hollywood is heaven make una dey copy dem, forgetting dat Hollywood itself is all make belief. Its all a sham celebrity marriages, lifestyle, sexual identity etc are all lies just because of the fame, money & positive business angle. These Hollywod Stars will sell their souls to be famous, wealthy, relevant & to be liked by their fans!

Was shocked when I heard this. Tom cruise and his scientology crap! Was so amazed that will smith and his wife r into that crap! How could u believe in a religion founded by a sci-fi novel author??? Who in their right mind would believe humans came from banished aliens?? How stupid can this "religion" be?? I would rather be a muslim than a scientologist!

Tina said...

@stefanie how did she steal someone husband, Tom Cruise was divorced from Nicole Kidman 4yrs before he met Katie,,, BTW Linda do u know Tom Cruise and his Ex Wivies [ Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman and now Katie Holmes] all divorce when they are 33yrs and turned 34yrs when the divorce is finalized, katie is now 33yrs she turns 34yrs later this year, may its his scientology rules or maybe im just reachin

Tina said...

Nicole Kidman got better after Tom, she even won an Oscar after Tom, so I believe Katie will be just fine, besides Tom killed Katie career after he marry her.

Unknown said...

They never learn... I wonder why.

Lmao stop it. Ur making me crack my ribs. Hahahaha wow even Family Guy saw it, lmao.

For real tho Linda, I saw it coming even before they got married sef. Nicole Kidman was the foreshadow.

Anonymous said...

This is what know, the key here is Suri. Katie has filed sole custody. Not joint. It can't be joint. Yes, I know that Tom and Nicole had joint custody but how did work out for Nicole? Yeah, you think she even gets calls from her kids? I don't think so! Joint custody with Scientology?How can Tom Cruise tell all those broken up families they can't talk to their kids or ex spouses because they are SP, and yet continue to see Suri unless she is with him all the time. Now, here is where things get interesting. Is Tom going to fight? Probably not. We wouldn't want to see the real reason he can't have joint custody. Not just Scientology, but also a DNA test might come into play too and i believe hes not the father. The whole marriage and baby was a set up.The time was now to end things. Suri starting school in the fall and a complete brainwashing was going to be inevitable. It is also no coincidence that the announcement was made while Tom was filming in Iceland. Pretty tough to pap him or ambush him there. If your spouse was asking for sole custody don't you think you would fight that? This should put an end or reveal shud I say all the rumours re him being gay and not d Suris father.....bcos he is NOT dat Childs father! Katie was already pregnant for another actor when they got married, some mixed Chinese American who's name escapes me now.... So d arrangement worked out for d both of them

Linda,you always seem to make simplistic comments about broken marriages. Ending a marriage is a very very painful and difficult process. Be more compassionate.

Yes the contract is over and he's not the father. True about that Chinese or Indian look. Suri has those looks.
