Cruise and katie split?

[skateluvr]

I am surprised, he seems so crazy about her. That makes number 3. And they say scientology has been an issue though his exes don't say anything as he is so generous. I can't help but wonder what huge amt she gets for 5 years one child. Cruise seems like a nice guy. Nicole was blindsided it seemed and now Tom is. I guess that is hollywood. Their child is really very beautiful. I can't imagine who might be number 4 as I know there will be one, and how old she will be. Well, he does date very beautiful women. I think it might be a long while before he walks the aisle (sounds like gangplank, I know) again.

Celebrity dish of the day.

I was surprised, too.

I think a lot of it has to do with all the time spent apart. While Tom's career is much more active than Kate's, she does work with various causes and they both travel a lot. I think they just grew apart.

Kate did have a long term engagement that she broke off before starting to date Tom. She and Tom really didn't date very long before their engagement, pregnancy, birth of Suri and marriage. Perhaps, if she hadn't had Suri, the engagement would've been longer. She was relatively young when they got married.

I hope it's amicable for Suri's sake.

I'm not surprised exactly, not the way I was when some others in Hollywood split up. I don't know much about them, but Katie always seemed rather girlish, and Cruise seems kind of driven and tightly wound. Interesting that the lawyer said that Katie had filed for divorce.

Normally I'd be loath to speculate, but Tom and Katie always seemed so out there looking for publicity that I don't feel the same reluctance to discuss them. I hope a mod will let us know if we step over the line, but I must say the headline captured my attention, and I'm glad to hear other people's insights.

I read all his wives were 33 when they got divorced.

As long as it's citeable within a REPUTABLE news source you're fine. Celebrities - non skaters - give more leeway because we aren't directly "related" to them, but basically let's keep it above tabloid level.

Sources say she will sue for full custody and that is how to get the bucks given their prenup. She gets 3 million per year. Kinda takes the romance out. But someone like Cruise who has been divorced a few times needs to protect his wealth. What made me go, "huh" was that the 6 year old has a wardrobe worth over 3 million and keeping her in style will be the strategy for ms Holmes. Doesn't sound like she is so crazy about him now. I think the jet set life and endless money turned her head. Tom Cruise does seem high strung, but his shelf life is waning. He is 50, looking 30. Men must mature into older roles but he is still action man.

She, at age 33, was probably getting too old for him anyways. He likes his women much younger.

Easier to control. (I've no respect for Cruise, and don't find him to be much of an actor... much less eye candy. To each their own.)

easier to control, exactly. Lots of stuff re scientology and what he wanted for Suri. I think Cruise does more than some for charities and his exes don't hate him.Not a bed guy apart from the Dianetics stuff. His looks are not my cup of tea, but I see plas. surgery there, now. I think Katie needs to get total custody or Suri will end up on the cruise ship the cult own for indoctrination. Katie and her Catholic parents felt apparently Cruise will not change re the cult. Well, they looked so in love. It is sad, and Cruise is pretty broken up. I do feel compasion for them.
