Report: Scientology Behind TomKat Split

PROBABLE CAUSE

Updated Apr. 21, 2017 4:39PM ET / Published Jun. 29, 2012 5:21PM ET

It was near the top of everyone’s list of likely reasons for the Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes breakup, and now it’s been confirmed, claims TMZ: the Church of Scientology is to blame. Holmes, who has always been lukewarm about the religion, wasn’t happy with the Top Gun star’s extremely close ties to it, the celebrity gossip website reports. And since the couple’s daughter, Suri, has reached an age where her involvement with the church will soon grow greatly, Holmes has decided to file for divorce from Cruise and to seek sole custody of their child. It is safe to say that this news will not have Cruise jumping up and down on a couch.
