So why did Cruise divorce Kidman?

[MouseWorshipin]

When the marriage reached the 10-year mark, she'd be entitled to half of everything.

He left at 9 years and 11 months.

I don't know why, but I know why THEN.

I think the whole thing is strange. Almost every article I have seen about Nicole lately doesn't mention the kids AT ALL. The pics of Katie and Tom that just came out are also very strange, she looks like she got hit by a truck. She was wearing a silk and lace chemise like blouse with a black jacket or shirt over it and the one side of the blouse was pulled down just enough to see the top of what appeared to be an undone nursing bra.

I saw an interview where it talked about him cancelling the majority of his press stuff for the new movie, yet every night he was on ET at the differant premieres in differant countries.

And to those people who say this is a private matter for them I say then don't open the door and tell your business unless you are prepared to deal with the consequences.

I agree with this. It is so interesting to me that some of these celebrities talk about privacy yet I have heard stories that their publicist call the photogs to tell them where they are and in some cases are even paid by the places they go to show up and have their pic taken coming and going from the establishment.

Do you think he is more "sucessful" than her? It always seemed to me that she was at least as "successful" if not more than he..... In that case, he'd be entitled to 1/2 of "her" money, too......

It's so funny to me how 'regular' folks come up with all of the reasons why he split with his past wives - like any of us knows the reason. In my opinion, it's kind of insulting to adoptive children that people assume that everyone wants to have their own biological children and so if they don't, then infertility is the reason - they adopted two beautiful children, so why is it anyone's business why they did so?

Tom Cruise may be a "wacko" or a "lunatic", but so may any of the rest of us. Let's all hope that his children grow up into well adjusted adults with morals and values (I teach high risk children who have had terrible lives, with terrible parents), instead of wishing ill will upon them as is the case when strangers postulate about their parents having affairs, faking pregnancies, marriages not lasting, etc.

Just my humble opinion, Tiger

I must say that I do admire people who adopt children and a prime example of that is Angelna JOlie. That being said I think the majority of people who plan children think in terms of biological it is just human nature and not a slam of those who adopt or the children who have been adopted. AS to postulating about Tom and his life that too is human nature. AS I said earlier...when you invite the public into your private life then you are asking for it. There are tons of people in the public eye who do not feel the need to share all their private goings on ...unfortunately TOM is not one of them. Tom is always shoving his face in front of the camera be it his uneducated slam of Brooke Shields or his sophomoric couch jumping incident on Oprah. If celebrities like Tom want privacy then they should keep a low profile and go into seclusion for a long, long, long time! I doubt that would ever happen most of these people are too addicted to the drug "fame" to be able to kick the habit.

He was by far the wealthier of the two.

You didn't think it was the tiniest bit odd that he divorced her weeks shy of the 10-year mark?

Here is what I think.

I am very leery about this so called "baby" Katie had. It would be very easy for them to have an adoption process going on, time it to a delivery date, hide the "baby" from the public until the real baby is in their custody.

Either way, I don't care what anyone says, there is no way that baby is Tom's. Funny, 2 wives, no kids with the 1st wife, adoption with the 2nd wife, LEAVES a pregnant wife, and all of a sudden, after only weeks of dating, Katie Holmes is pregnant..after him declaring his undying love for her, something he had never done with any of his other leading ladies.

Nothing adds up. Except for maybe the changing sizes of Katies belly over the nine months, that seemed more like 10.5 months, considering in October, they announced she was 4 months pregnant.

Certanly would explain the whole silent birth thing

The marriage did make the ten year mark, they were married on December 24, 1990 and split up on February 5, 2001 = 10 years, 1 month, 12 days.

He tried to say afterwards that he only filed that day, but the marriage actually ended several weeks short of 10 years.
But, they had a big renewal of vows party on their 10th anniversary. Who does something like that and then says they really had broken up before the party?

What happened to the DISer with the scoop?

Personally, I had always thought he knew he was infertile and divorced Nicole because she became pregnant. He definatley didn't think her baby was his because he was quoted saying something very cold after her miscarriage (I can't remember exactly, don't ask but clearly implying it wasn't his baby to mourn). After this Katie business I began to think maybe he really can reproduce, but y'all are making me think again. Why haven't we seen one photo of them going to or from the hospital? Katie definatley looks like a new mom though recently (very tired looking). Maybe she's finally realized what she's gotten herself into.

I'm guessing there's no scoop. Someone was just talking it up.

 

[robertsmom]

Well unless Katie Holmes grows an Adam's Apple and some other assorted parts she will be out the door as well.

LOL! I totally agree!!

 

[disykat]

Wow - reading this makes me think that Nicole got pregnant and he divorced her, because he thought he was infertile. She had DNA testing to prove it, but it was too late to repair the damage done. Now he's acting like an idiot because he is dealing with the extreme guilt over choices in his past and the only way he can hold his head up is to continue to believe he is the be all end all.

How's that for speculation?

If that's speculation, that's what I am speculating also!

 

[Planogirl]

This is like a soap opera, very exciting and interesting. I doubt that the truth is this much fun!

Ooohh, I bet this is it too! I remember reading at the time, that Nicole had the DNA test to prove it was Tom's (and it was) and that the date of conception proved they were still acting like a married couple after that 10 year mark. That's why the DNA was so important. Men can do things to up their sperm count, you know all those vitamins he swears by? They can help! Plus switching to boxers from tightey whitey's and bam, preggo wife! My brother was told he has a low sperm count and it would be difficult to have kids, they had a honeymoon baby and now have 3 kids, only one planned!

I believe OK Magazine won the "war" for baby Suri pics. They paid the most. So I assume they will be out soon.

Celebs who want to sell their baby's pic will do EVERYTHING to protect any image of the baby getting out. If someone snags a shot & it runs all over, magazines wont pay as much for the "exclusive" pics of the baby.

 

[Disney Doll]

I don't know, but I bet she's thrilled now!!!!

 

[goodeats]

Until I see those pictures I don't believe Suri exists. And even then I will have doubts Katie was ever pregnant with Tom's child, or even at all.

I just read a Yahoo article that Katie and Tom flew to Washington for some prize winners movie screening. Suri did not attend and stayed at home, Katie said. Um, who leaves a 3 week old home to fly 1,000 miles away! I guess she's not breastfeeding. I suppose this also adds to the speculation that she gave birth months ago and has now been keeping a basketball under her shirt!
