Why Tom Cruise Didn't See His Divorce With Katie Holmes Coming

Katie Holmes reportedly blindsided Tom Cruise when it came to pulling the plug on their marriage. As we know, Holmes was the one who filed for divorce from the father of her daughter, with Cruise’s attorney confirming the news in a statement while offering an insight into how Cruise really felt about splitting with the former “Dawson’s Creek” star. “Tom is deeply saddened and is concentrating on his three children. Please allow them their privacy,” the statement read.

The Los Angeles Times then reported that Holmes had supposedly made some very secretive moves to make sure her decision to end her marriage stayed private — even from Cruise himself — as a source claimed the star supposedly had a friend get her a burner phone so that she could talk to her lawyers about the split in secret. The insider stated that Holmes was able to get her whole plan in order without Cruise or his team knowing a thing, reportedly leaving him totally blindsided when she officially filed. ABC News doubled down on the rumors that Cruise had no idea what was coming his way from his now-former wife, with a source claiming it came as a “complete surprise.”
