After more than five years of marriage, superstar couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are filing for divorce. While Cruise, 49, is no stranger to divorce -- this will be his third after Mimi Rogers and Nicole Kidman -- Holmes, 33, will be losing her first marriage. The couple has one kid together, 6-year-old Suri Cruise.
Holmes' attorney told People, "This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family. Katie's primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter's best interest." No other information is available, and they'd probably like to keep it that way. It's kind of amazing they were able to avoid break-up rumors for this long. But we're sure some more details will come to light. Are you surprised about the Katie Homes / Tom Cruise split? Or do you think it's a part of the gig when you become a celeb?

I think it is hard for many Americans. The family unit in America is an has been struggling. Why?reply - YOUR EARTH ANGEL'S REDEMPTION 2012/07/13 04:59:53Noit's hard for anybody to stay married!reply
- bakermom 2012/07/05 15:00:34NoThey get married for publicity. They don't care about the vows they take. Thank God she finally got away from that control Freak!!reply
- Twinky 2012/07/02 12:29:47Yes+1But in this case specifically... it's harder to stay with a controlling, brain-washed weirdo who wants you and your child to join his dangerous cult.reply
- Mean Mommy 2012/07/02 12:08:58NoThey are just people like the rest of us, just because they have a lot of money and I guess in a lot of ways seem to think of themselves as better than the average person.... they shouldn't because the average persons make them who they are!reply
- the fuze 2012/07/02 11:10:53NoIt's just easier to say "I don't want to work at this".reply
- Amy Lynn 2012/07/02 07:31:30YesBUT than again. Who said "normal" people, or none celebs have it so easy?! Marriage takes two, willing people to work things out.reply
- SebaTheSociallyAwkwardPenguin 2012/07/02 04:50:40Yeseveryone is looking for a flaw in anything that you do, waiting for you to screw up and burn you for it.reply
- Michael 2012/07/02 02:28:50YesCelebrities are not immune to marrying for the wrong reasons. The world knew more about Tom Cruise and the controlling cult of Scientology than apparently Katie did, or did she know from the beginning and that is why a contract was needed with bonuses involved...follow the money!reply
- sally 2012/07/01 21:14:29NoThey just have the resources to do it more often.reply
- imsmarter 2012/07/01 20:31:34Yes+1I have to imagine it is. Having most (if not all) of your life publicized and scrutinized day in and day out has to be very overwhelming to anyone. I can only imagine what kind of strain that would put on any marriage.reply
- Blessed Sheep Gone Wild! 2012/07/01 20:30:46Nothis is definitely a church issue and has nothing to do with hollywood fame. They just so happen to be hollywood celebsreply
- gingin6 2012/07/01 19:59:53YesI figured this marriage wouldn't last longer than it did. Tom is to much into his religion and not the woman of his life.reply
- shenendoah 2012/07/01 18:26:58 (edited)YesWhen you've got two giant egos vying for supremecy you've got a problem especially when one of them has probably got a little man syndrome going against him. Am I the only one seeing them side by side thinking that girl could clean his clock?.reply
- in vino veritas 2012/07/01 18:06:47NoThis is his third marriage,the percentage for failure increases sharply after the first,who gives a sh&t;,its the economy stoopid...........reply
- Don Leuty 2012/07/01 18:02:55YesEspecially when they are both in the same racket. Their egos can get pretty touchy if they are highly competitive.reply
- sky blue pink - American 2012/07/01 17:35:14NoHave a good one !reply
- L1Z2 2012/07/01 17:10:35YesI'd imagine so with being in the spotlight all the time.reply
- tobe 2012/07/01 15:25:12Noyou just hear about it more. Im not one of those believers that celebs have it harder.reply
- MASOUDLETON 2012/07/01 14:28:13Yesno money honey ......reply
- LaraLynda 2012/07/01 13:53:54
- ruthannhausman 2012/07/01 07:10:12No+2Looks like it, but there are some pretty strong Hollywood marriages past and present. I don' t think Cruise's problem is the usual Hollywood stuff, though, I think it's his Scientology connections. But that's just a hunch on my part. In any event, stars do have pressures on them that we common folks don't, but that's what marriages are supposed to be all about, regardless of the profession of the partners. But I also think that there is a certain type of "character" that lots of Hollywood stars have to have in order to be good at what they do and handle all the glitz and glory and whatnot, so that may make them a little harder to live with.reply

It'd be a surprised that hollywood starts don't get divorced. 
reply - XxFaLlEnAnGeLxX 2012/07/01 02:15:38No+1no because they can still love each other no matter what i mean if your with the right personreply
- jules 2012/07/01 01:50:01Yes+1I think so because there is alot of talk about a clash of schedules with married actors where they don't spend enough time together. It's a vulnerable time.reply
- jules jules 2012/07/01 01:51:58+1And I think the married actors are under more stress.reply
- Racefish 2012/06/30 23:07:50Yes+1There are two things that enter into it. One is the ego thing. Both are trying to advance their own careers, and the other is the fact both are busy and aren'taround each ther long enough to develop an intimate relationship.reply
- Sherlock Dog BL - a Gazillion 2012/06/30 22:24:17
- Cunning Stunts 2012/06/30 17:35:43No+2Women just can't stand Tom Cruise.reply
- Rachel ... Cunning... 2012/07/01 22:09:31Strange because he's not bad-looking. The problem is he's so weird and intense and over-the top-Never mind Kate, how did Nicole put up with him all those years?reply
- Christopher Kirchen 2012/06/30 17:00:28Yes+1I think it must be; not only are there a lot of pressures on both unrelated to their personal lives, but I'm sure some of them hear, as they walk by members of the opposite sex, "Man, I'd like to get with that!" or something similar.reply
- SteveMarine- JLA 2012/06/30 16:45:20No+1To be honest ive always sort of thought most holly weirdos get married for publicity.... Nothing more...just to get attention...and their face in the papers and TV...reply
- Bob S 2012/06/30 16:43:25 (edited)No+2You mean the prima donnas. They all have such fat egos and more importantly they have fat heads to go with their fat bank accounts. Who really gives a damn about the losers. Lets highlight the couples that have stayed married for a long time thru thick and thin. We're certainly not stars but we'll celebrate our 57th anniversary this year. Not a record but a lasting relationship.reply
- SteveMa... Bob S 2012/06/30 16:46:51+1Thats awesome Bob.reply
- Bob S SteveMa... 2012/06/30 17:27:14+1Thanks but I think that you had better congratulate the wife for putting up with me for almost 57 years.reply
- SteveMa... Bob S 2012/06/30 17:34:15+1I hear ya bud.reply
- Bob S SteveMa... 2012/06/30 17:58:50Just where is Locust Grove, Ga.? Just curious. I'm guessing it is not as big as Atlanta etc.reply
- SteveMa... Bob S 2012/06/30 20:54:07+145 mins south of Atlanta... Primarily a small town...country side...farms....mixed with a small town side....reply
- Calm down! 2012/06/30 16:39:48 (edited)Yes+3It's hard for anyone to be married in today's world! People have way too high of expectations of the other person. I think all of these "chick flicks" where evey man in every movie is a Doctor, Lawyer, or just born wealthy really distorts the real world for many girls minds out there. They grow up expecting so much out of men while the real man of their dreams that would really make them happy probably is a janitor for a living, but they will not give him the time or day because they have been trained from birth to be all about status! I think people need to stop thinking the grass is always greener on the other side. It's not most of the time. Lower your expectations, and stop watching all the brain washing love shows out there!reply
- Bob S Calm down! 2012/06/30 16:45:54+1Don't try to be someone or something that you are not. Be normal and honest if that is allowed in the world of today.reply
