| Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes seek a divorce |
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have filed for divorce.
In fact, it was Katie who filed the first shot by submitting paperwork on June 28th 2012 citing "irreconcilable differences."
It is being reported that Katie’s breaking point was Tom’s obsession with the Church of Scientology and her fear that he was dragging their daughter Suri into the cult.

In her filing, Holmes is asking for sole legal custody and "primary residential custody" of the uber-Hollywood superstar’s 6-year-old daughter Suri.
Tom, 49, and Katie, 33, have been married for five years.
Holmes representative released a statement saying,
"This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family," Holmes' attorney Jonathan Wolfe said. "Katie's primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter's best interest."
For his part, Tom’s representative also issued a statement saying,
"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."
Cruise proposed marriage to Katie on top of the Eiffel tower in Paris five years ago and the couple was married within months.

Rumors swirled during the entire marriage that it was a sham and Cruise did it only to cover the fact that he was gay and felt his career would suffer if the world knew.

The hit TV show South Park even did an episode about Tom being “locked in the closet” and afraid to come out.
This was Holm’s first marriage and Tom’s third after previously being married to Nicole Kidman and Mimi Rogers.
