Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes wrap up divorce settlement in just 11 days Holmes is currently living in a three-bedroom apartment in New York with Suri, while Cruise is based primarily in Los Angeles with his two adopted children Connor, 17, and Bella, 19. In a joint statement the couple said: "We are committed to working together as parents to accomplish what is in our daughter Suri's best interests. We want to keep matters affecting our family private, and express our respect for each other's commitment to each of our respective beliefs, and support each other's roles as parents. The reference to "respective beliefs" appeared to confirm that Scientology, and its role in Suri's upbringing, was a key factor in the split. Holmes filed for divorce on June 28 and Cruise was said to have been stunned. She also filed for sole custody of Suri with a court in New York. There had been suggestions Cruise would apply to have the case transferred to California where he would have a better chance of custody. But, according to aides, he was said to be reluctant to "drag his family though the mud" and wanted a private settlement. Aides indicated that he would never accept being cut out of the child's life completely, but would approve a deal if he was given "meaningful and significant" access to Suri. That appears to have been achieved to Cruise's satisfaction. The actor, who is on location filming in the Rocky Mountains, has not seen his daughter since the divorce papers were filed but has spoken to her daily by telephone. Holmes' lawyer Jonathan Wolfe said: "The case has been settled and the agreement has been signed. We are thrilled for Katie and her family and are excited to watch as she embarks on the next chapter of her life. We thank Tom's counsel for their professionalism and diligence that helped bring about this speedy resolution. Cruise, 50, is Hollywood's highest earning star, having made $75 million (£48 million) in the last year, but the financial settlement is not expected to feature in lists of the most costly divorces. Holmes, 33, signed a cast iron prenuptial agreement before the marriage five years ago, and has indicated she wants to "earn her own money" from her acting career. Bert Fields, Cruise's lawyer, told celebrity website TMZ: "Tom is really pleased we got there, and so am I."
