Katie Holmes Seems "Like She's Been Set Free" Post Split 
 
 Friday's news that Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise were divorcing after five years of marriage came as a shock to some, but a source tells Us Weekly that the signs have been there. 
 
 One telltale sign was Holmes' increasingly happier demeanor. "She's been miserable for a long time, but the last couple of weeks, she's been happy -- like she's been set free," the source tells Us.

 Indeed, just one week ago, the 33-year-old actress and the couple's 6-year-old daughter, Suri, enjoyed a day out in NYC on June 24. The smiling mommy-daughter duo sported coordinating black-and-white ensembles and stopped at their favorite spots Serendipity 3 and the American Girl Store. 
 
 "I was wondering what changed with her," the source adds. "I guess she can finally be happy again."

 With Cruise, 49, away filming the sci-fi flick Oblivion in Iceland, Holmes quietly filed divorce papers with the aid of a New Jersey-based attorney, and requested sole custody of the couple's daughter. To ensure that Suri would have a stable home base, the actress had secretly rented an NYC apartment of her own just prior to filing for divorce, Us learned exclusively on Friday.

 "Katie's primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter's best interest. This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family," Holmes' lawyer, Jonathan Wolfe, said in a statement to Us Friday. 
 
 Through his rep, Cruise said he was "deeply saddened" to hear of Holmes' divorce filing. ||||| By Radar Staff 
 
 Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were together one last time in Iceland before Katie’s bombshell announcement that she was divorcing her husband of five years, and RadarOnline.com has exclusive details about their very tense time together, including the extreme measures his security team took to make sure no one knew about the cracks in their relationship. 
 
 On June 15, Tom, Katie, and their 6-year-old daughter Suri flew into Iceland’s capital city of Reykjavik on their private jet. Tom was shooting the movie Oblivion, and Katie and Suri had joined him for Father’s Day weekend. 
 
 Upon their arrival, they immediately checked into the $1,000-a-night Presidential Suite of the Hilton Nordica hotel.

 “The suite has a sweeping view of the bay,” a hotel insider told the National Enquirer. “It’s the best hotel room in all of Iceland.” 
 
 The insider exclusively revealed that Tom’s security team put black duct tape over all of the security cameras located in the ceilings on the 9th floor corridor where their suite, room 926, was. 
 
 A National Enquirer reporter who visited the suite in the days following the divorce announcement found the duct tape still attached to a video camera outside the room.

 Although the hotel insider says the cameras were covered because Tom didn’t want any videos of him and Katie leaked, a friend believes that the actor may have been trying to cover up their sleeping arrangements. 
 
 “Neither Tom nor Katie let on that they were having problems. It would have been a red flag if Katie had requested her own room,” said the friend.

 “So no one knows for sure whether they spent their final night together as husband and wife sleeping in the same bed, or if Tom had to sleep in another part of the suite. But they certainly kept up appearances.”

– Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have become official residents of Splitsville. A New York judge has signed off on the couple's divorce, and the papers ending their five-year marriage have been sealed, meaning any juicy details won't be reaching the public, reports the New York Daily News. "Tom is very happy and relieved that he is moving forward," a source close to the actor tells E! News. "His priority is being a good father, and this settlement will make sure that continues." The deal, reached soon after Holmes left Cruise in June, is believed to include restrictions on their daughter Suri's exposure to Scientology.
