Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes seek divorce

  • 12 years ago
Katie Holmes has filed for divorce from her superstar husband Tom Cruise, in New York City, a long-time attorney for Cruise said on Friday (June 29).

Holmes is reportedly seeking sole custody of their daughter, six year old Suri. The pair married in an elaborate ceremony in Italy in 2006.

Cruise, who turns 50 on July 3rd, has been among the world's highest-paid actors, with films ranging from 1983's "Risky Business" to the hugely successful "Mission: Impossible" series and currently playing musical "Rock of Ages."

He has been married twice before, first to actress Mimi Rogers and then to Nicole Kidman, with whom he has two children.

The 33 year old Holmes rose to fame on the U.S. television series "Dawson's Creek" and has worked in big-budget movies such as "Batman Begins." Her marriage to Cruise is her first.
