Katie Holmes Gets Suri In Divorce Settlement


The TomKat divorce proceedings have wrapped less than a fortnight after the story of their split first broke.

Hollywood power broker Tom Cruise and his easily replaced ex-wife Katie Holmes have reached a private settlement, rumoured to have been reached so quickly in order to limit further negative press about Tom’s controversial religion, Scientology.

Tom’s much discussed spiritual affiliations were alluded to in a joint statement released by the pair which said, “we are committed to working together as parents to accomplish what is in our daughter Suri’s best interests. We want to keep matters affecting our family private and express our respect for each other’s commitment to each of our respective beliefs and support each other’s roles as parents.”

As part of the settlement Katie was awarded primary physical custody of their daughter Suri Cruise, but allowing Tom plenty of custodial time with her. This is either the most amicable split in the history of Hollywood marriages or Tom really will do anything to protect Scientology from being scrutinised in court.

The quick settlement is great news for Suri who can finally live as a footloose and fancy free child outside the bounds of the Sea Org etc – just like her namesake Suri the mascot of the 2011 Copa America football tournament.
