Surprised or no?

[pixy0stix]

Not at all. She seemed too normal, but star struck, to stay in that marriage. I think she finally matured to the point where she could leave.

ETA: She's older than I thought. I still maintain that she was star struck to have Tom Cruise interested in her.

It's about time she came to her senses.

Pixy, how old did you think she was? She's young than I thought (assumed late 30s)

[natablue]

I always thought they were an odd match to begin with.

Hallelujah! Maybe she can have a career again.

I thought she married him in her early 20s, so I thought she was in her mid/late twenties.

I am SO happy for her. SO HAPPY. Somewhat surprised, but only because I am surprised that Tom let her escape him LOL.


I would like to know what Suri thinks about this.

Agreed LOL

I always thought they were a strange pairing.

[mrssavy42112]

Haven't they been living apart or separated for a while anyway? I'm not surprised at all. It was about time.

[fashionx]

I also thought it was a weird match from the beginning. And she has admitted to Tom being her childhood crush, so I'm sure starstruck applies here.

[misshark122]

I can't believe it has only been 5 years since they were married! seems like it was a long time ago. I always thought they were a weird couple. I'm KIND of surprised though, but at the same time, not really because almost no one in hollywood stays together!

[preppy]

Can't wait to see what Suri's Burn Book has to say about this one!

I have already refreshed a few times...

[futurepivko]

No way....Tom just seemed too creepy and weird.

Awesome quote from FB . . . "Scientology....providing gay actors with wives since 1977!"
Hee hee!!

Tom Cruise is such a weirdo. It's a guarantee that Katie will be better off, career-wise. It must kill her that Michelle Williams does so incredibly well, that could have been her.

Agreed! I'm not too shocked since it's been a while since the family has been spotted together. I hope her career can rebound. She does have something coming out soon that I saw a trailer for and wondered what was going on since it was something Tom would never approve of her doing.

Can't wait for the burn book reaction, but I think that will be a while. The author has a book deal and the last thing she'd want is to be shut down before the book.

[treedimensional]

I can't wait to see her date a nice tall man.

[preppy]

Burn Books response was classic. Best blog ever.

[mrspost08]

I am not surprised at all!

My husband sent me a text with "WTF Tom & Katie are getting divorced". I cracked up laughing. Why is my husband breaking celeb news to me!

[melaniesc]

i'm not surprised at all. they haven't been seen together in quite a while. she didn't go to any of the Rock of Ages premieres and he recently got a big Icon award and Katie wasn't there, only Suri, which I thought was really telling. I'm sure her prenup will ban her from ever really talking about it, just like Nicole. i'm curious if the mags will be able to get some dirt, as far as who initiated, etc.

I'm going to have to check that out! The other reason that I'm not shocked is that Katie was The Slutty Pumpkin on HIMYM and the recent release of the trailer for Responsible Adults. I can't imagine Tom's reaction to those roles.

Maybe she'll get a hot Aussie that's crazy in love with her like Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. That would be great too!

[melaniesc]

ah, i see now that he's saying she initiated it. guess he couldn't wait to try to paint her as the bad guy.

Does anyone think they really had a contract for 5 years? Do people really do this?

That is classic, stumpy.

Thanks! I wish I would have thought of it first!!!

Sure why not ...its Hollyweird, they don't live normal lives like the rest of us and people have been talking about how he has been in the closet for years. Do you know how many celebrities are in relationships purely created by their PR reps and managers?

That's what I read on my local news site as well. My husband was so not interested in this news so I'm happy to have someone to discuss it with on here.

I would think they had a contract, except for the childhood crush thing. That makes me think maybe she was just in a 5-year long starstruck trance. I also think I read somewhere that he was putting on the pressure for more babies - I wonder if she finally got tired of it.

[FormerCityGirl]

There were pregnancy rumors about 4-6 weeks ago. I wouldn't put it past him to throw that out in desperation to keep her.

[Deleted]

Yes and no. I mean, I am never really surprised when a celebrity couple splits up but at the same time they usually deny rumors for months before they actually do split. I hadn't heard any (unless I am living under a rock).
