FOR THE KID

Suri Reason for Quick Settlement

TomKat wanted to save daughter from damage.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes reached a settlement Monday, not even two weeks after the young actress filed for divorce from her superstar Scientologist husband. The settlement was reached surprisingly quickly, and, as TMZ reports Tuesday, it’s all because of Suri. The Hollywood couple were fighting over their daughter when it became clear that a war between her parents would cause the most harm to Suri. “It registered big time with both Tom and Katie, and it allowed their lawyers to strike a deal in what could be record time for this type of divorce,” reports the entertainment news site. “Fact is ... it generally takes celebs in these high-profile divorces a lot longer to realize how bitterness affects small kids, so credit to both.”
