No happily ever after as Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise split
Hollywood is about to see yet another divorce - of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise. It seems that all high-profile marriages are jinxed.

ALL THE divorces in Hollywood look almost like they are having a domino effect as after the first one falls, the second inevitably also crashes, and the latest one to follow the previous Johnny Depp and Venessa Paradis was Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise. While Holmes was the one to file the divorce against husband due to 'irreconcilable differences' Cruise is said to be 'saddened' by this. However, it is amusing to see the reactions of the people and the media all around the world after the news was made public today.

Almost all the media houses could not help themselves but make a reference to the famous Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah's couch moment, when he was giddy and had just fallen in love with Katie Holmes. That the couple was happy and very much in love, at that time, was evident. Almost every country have either 'Tom Cruise' or 'Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' trending on Twitter, and people are making cruel, funny and idiotic jokes at their expense. A person alluding to the MI series tweeted, “ Katie Holmes finds Tom Cruise Mission Impossible.” Some were devastated, and tweeted, “ Apparently Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are divorcing?! Whaaaaat??”

A media house also got a relation between all the previous divorces of Tom Cruise that all his wives leave him at the age of 33 years, which is quite true actually. What seemed to have led to the split are a number of reasons but the most important one was that Katie Holmes was not happy. She started dating Cruise when she was just rising as an actor in Hollywood and eventually became so wrapped up in her childhood crush that she did not look at her own self or her career. The fact that she was kind of forced to adopt Scientology, the faith that Cruise believes in, was also one of the many reasons for the marriage to end.

Suri, their daughter and a pampered child, as was portrayed by the media, got two kinds of parenting treatment from their high-profile parents. While Cruise treated her as adult (according to his Scientology ideals), Katie Holmes was against this idea and treated Suri like a kid. The last straw, it seems, was a photo shoot where Tom Cruise was seen with two models in a rather provocative pose.

According to TMZ Holmes has asked for equal custody, primary residential custody and a 'suitable amount' of child support from her husband. She is also asking for a division of property inspite of the previously drawn up documents that states - for each year the couple stay married, Holmes would collects $3million - to a maximum of $33 million after 11 years and also their palatial home in California. If the marriage had lasted for 11 years she would have received half of the property.

Currently, the couple are worth around $275 million. While it is not going well with most fans that Katie kind of blindsided the MI star but many of Katie's near and dear ones feel that she was unhappy for a long time, and it was about time that she moved out. It is sad when people in love cannot live together as it takes more than just love to make a marriage work. Happiness should be the mantra, whether together or apart.
