In April 2005, Holmes and actor Tom Cruise started dating. Holmes, who was brought up as a Catholic, started learning about Scientology not long after the pair started dating. Only seven weeks after meeting, in June 2005, they became engaged. After five and a half years of marriage, Holmes filed for divorce from Cruise in New York on June 29, 2012.
