Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes Split





Another of Hollywood's hottest and most powerful couples is calling it quits: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are getting a divorce.


The news was released by Holmes' lawyer, who released a statement to People magazine. "This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family," said Jonathan Wolfe. "Katie's primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter's best interest." 


No further information or reason for the split has been given at this time. However, TMZ reports that the pair is worth something to the tune of $257 million and they do have a pre-nuptial agreement. Clearly, Cruise brought in the bigger chunk of that fortune, so it will be interesting to see how things shake out. 


The pair got married back in November 2006, in an Italian castle, no less. They welcomed daughter Suri months prior, in April of that year. This was the former Dawson's Creek star's first marriage, while Cruise was married to actress Nicole Kidman for over a decade.


TomKat, as they were so fondly dubbed, came in at No. 8 this year on Zimbio's annual 100 Hottest Celebrity Couples list. News of the couple's split comes just 10 days after news that Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis announced their split after 14 years.
