Katie Holmes was allegedly afraid of ending up like Nicole Kidman
Nicole Kidman was one compelling reason why Katie should be afraid of what the Church of Scientology may do to her kid. The actress had been there first, and her experience wasn’t very positive. The siblings’ lack of communication with their mother is the most notable indication of how much her connection with her children has deteriorated after the divorce. Holmes probably didn’t want Suri to loathe her the way that Kidman seems to be hated by Connor and Isabella. But the longer she put off getting a divorce and her daughter continued to attend church, the more likely it was to occur. She probably didn’t want her child to grow up to be indoctrinated against her, so she and Suri took off and didn’t return.
Tom Cruise claims that the divorce came as a surprise
Given all the variables that may have affected Katie’s divorce choice, it should come as no surprise that the marriage ended when it did. Tom Cruise did, however, assert at the time that he was taken aback by his wife’s desire to dissolve their union. It’s anyone’s guess as to whether he was being truthful when he told the German network ProSieben that he just “didn’t expect it.” We are unaware of what transpired during the couple’s marriage in private. Had Katie voiced her worries about Suri’s possible effects from Scientology? Was her choice genuinely unexpected, or has she ever threatened to file for divorce?
