Happily Ever After...Not!

So were you surprised with the divorce of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise???

Actually I was more surprised that their marriage survived THAT long. Every time I used to see photos of her and Tom Cruise together, I would be looking closely for any evidence of a unhappy Katie in those photos. But they managed to conceal it well all these years. Well, they are actors after all.

When I heard the news of the divorce on the radio while I was driving Ryan to school, I felt a sense of relief for Katie Holmes. I felt her freedom from the marriage. Like she was thinking to herself..."FINALLY I can breathe and lead my own life now". I don't know. I kinda of anticipated that this was coming since she became Mrs. Cruise. Deep down, I felt that it was a union that was not meant to me.

After I learnt further that it was she that filed for divorce and that it came as a surprise to Mr. Cruise, I could feel that Katie was probably suffering all these years. But we the public would never know what she was feeling. It is always the kids that would get entangled in a nasty divorce. And this seems like it will be one. Hopefully with good family support, mother and daughter will be okay.
After all, this is Tom Cruise. One of the most powerful actors in Hollywood. He will definitely not lose custody of his daughter without a fight.

11 July- Good to hear that it has been settled out of court and Ms Holmes has full custody of Suri. I am surprised though that Tom Cruise had settled in this way.
