As the couple formerly known as TomKat (lol) go through with their divorce proceedings, the pair have finally released a joint statement, formally addressing the situation for the first time. See what they had to say below.
The statement reads, “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 statement reinforces what we already told you … Tom and Katie have called a temporary truce while their lawyers try hammering out a settlement and end this thing as soon as possible.
On the settlement:
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have SETTLED their divorce … this according to Katie’s lawyer.
Jonathan Wolfe tells TMZ, “This 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.”
TMZ reported in the last few days lawyers for both sides were in a marathon negotiation — trying to end what began as a divorce war.
As we reported, one condition Tom had for settling was “meaningful, significant” contact with Suri.
Wolfe added, “We thank Tom’s counsel for their professionalism and diligence that helped bring about this speedy resolution.”
