The islands are also popular with honeymooners who want to spend their honeymoon here, as once in 2006, a star pair of actors: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Their relationship was very beautiful and romantic. Tom Cruise made a proposal to his chosen one at the very top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. A year later, they married in a 15th-century castle in romantic Italy, and spent their honeymoon in the Maldives. But alas. Their relationship worsened every day. Even Suri's daughter, who appeared before their marriage and was the most influential child of star couples, could not stop the divorce of her parents. Katie Holmes filed for divorce last year, for this she turned for help to her father, a well-known lawyer. The reason for the divorce is indicated by the failure of the actress against the background of her husband’s successful career.
It seemed to her husband that she began to fade in the shadow of her handsome husband. She is annoyed by the fact that they remember him only as the wife of a Hollywood star. Unpleasant for Katie and the need to follow her husband to all places of his shooting. Of course, her husband’s successful career could not but cause her indignation. Rumor has it that Katie fears that Tom will be able to drag their daughter into a religious organization to which he belongs. For Katie Holmes, marriage to Tom Cruise is the first experience of family life, for her husband this is the third official marriage. In the event of a divorce, the spouse will receive three million dollars for each year married to Cruise. As for their daughter, Katie wants to take sole custody of her daughter. Tom Cruise is saddened: this is the gift he received on his fiftieth anniversary. May your vacation in the Maldives be the beginning of a new, happy life that will last a long time!
