#18: Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise

Duration of Relationship: 7 years (2005–2012)

The breakup between Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes in 2012 was as dramatic as their whirlwind romance. Holmes filed for divorce suddenly after five years of marriage, catching Cruise off guard. While they had once been Hollywood’s golden couple, with their high-profile relationship and daughter Suri, rumors circulated that Holmes grew uncomfortable with Cruise’s deep involvement in Scientology.

She sought full custody of their daughter, which she was granted, leading to speculation that protecting Suri from the church’s influence was a driving factor. The split was swift, with Holmes retreating from the spotlight, marking the end of “TomKat.”
