It has been 12 years since Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes divorced, but the international press is still looking into many mysteries behind the Hollywood couple’s marriage.
In 2006, after a short period of dating, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes officially got married. The $2 million wedding in Italy of the Hollywood couple once made the press “waste space” because of its grandeur.
However, Katie Holmes was only Tom Cruise’s wife for nearly 5 years before the actress filed for divorce because her ex-husband was too superstitious. To this day, the international media is still looking into the behind-the-scenes stories about the marriage between the two actors.
Tom Cruise conflicts with Katie Holmes’ parents
The reason Tom Cruise conflicts with Katie Holmes’ parents is due to religious differences. Accordingly, the American actress’s parents wanted their daughter’s wedding to be held according to Christianity, but Tom Cruise absolutely did not agree. The actor has completely left this religion and wants to hold the ceremony at a facility of the Scientology sect (a controversial religion).
According to Mirror, the conflict between her parents and Tom Cruise once made Katie Holmes very upset. Leah Remini, a friend who attended the wedding, said: “When the wedding started, Katie was missing for 20 minutes”. Many guests shared that the Batman Begins actress wanted to run away from the wedding because she needed to rethink her decision to marry Tom Cruise.
Tom Cruise’s vows
At the wedding in 2006, Tom Cruise made a strange vow to Katie Holmes. After being read by the head of the Scientology sect, Tom Cruise repeated: “I promise to give her enough clothes and food, happiness, a frying pan, a comb and a cat”.
Luxury wedding gifts
The wedding of actor Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes was held at the Odescalchi Castle (Italy) with the participation of many guests and 150 A-list stars.
The couple spent about 900,000 USD to pay for all the airfares for guests. In addition, Cruise hired a fleet of luxury limousines to pick up VIP guests such as Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Lopez… from Rome to the wedding venue.
In addition, instead of the usual wedding gifts such as candy, paper flowers… Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes gave each guest a pair of sunglasses worth about 550 pounds.
Tom Cruise arbitrarily performed an ultrasound while his wife was pregnant
Tom Cruise’s arbitrarily buying an ultrasound machine to monitor his wife’s pregnancy has received mixed opinions from doctors. The actor confessed to buying high-tech medical equipment to use throughout Katie Holmes’ pregnancy.
Many doctors believe that ultrasound should only be performed by technicians due to potential problems with sound waves causing harm to unborn children.
Katie Holmes cannot date publicly after divorce
In 2017, after ending her marriage to Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes was rumored to be dating black actor Jamie Foxx. However, she has never publicly acknowledged this. According to Radar Online, Katie Holmes has a secret divorce agreement with the Mission Impossible actor
Accordingly, this agreement requires Holmes not to officially date after 5 years of divorce. Radar’s source said: “She is allowed to date but not in public. At the same time, Katie is not allowed to allow her boyfriend near her daughter Suri”.
The actress born in 1978 later agreed and received $4.8 million in child support and $5 million for herself.
