Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes Spilt

After five years of marriage the glamorous couple of superstar Tom Cruise and Dawson Creeks' actor Katie Holmes announced Friday that they are getting a divorce.

Holmes, 33, has reportedly filed for divorce in a New York court on Thursday. Holmes is seeking full custody of her six year-old daughter, Suri, with Cruise. She is also looking to procure "primary residency custody as well as a suitable amount of child support," as reported by TMZ.

In a statement released by Holmes' lawyer Jonathan Wolfe on behalf of the 33-year-old actress, he says "This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family... Katie's primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter's best interest," as reported by People Magazine.

Cruise, who turns 50 Monday, released a statement through his press-person stating "Kate has filed for divorce and Tom is deeply saddened and is concentrating on his three children," as reported on Yahoo News.

Holmes' quiet absence from the premier of Cruise's highly anticipated film "Rock of Ages," didn't really stir strong suspicions of the couple's ongoing problems. However, now that the split has been announced Hollywood media is putting two and two together and evaluating couple's behavior in recent past to pick on possible details and hints to this split.

After proclaiming his love for Holmes on that epic coach moment on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" in 2005, the couple announced in April 2006 that Holmes was pregnant, which was followed by a grand wedding in Italy in November of the same year.

The couple, who is reported to have a pre-nuptial agreement, is said to be worth $275 million, most of which is earned by Cruise.

Aside from Suri, 6, Cruise has two adopted children with ex-wife Nicole Kidman.
