Hollywood couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have reached an agreement to settle their divorce, a lawyer for Holmes said in a statement to People magazine and a representative for Cruise confirmed yesterday.
"The 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," Holmes attorney Jonathan Wolfe said in the statement to celebrity magazine people.
A spokeswoman for the "Mission: Impossible" actor confirmed the settlement in an e-mail, saying "it is done."
Celebrity website TMZ.com, citing an unnamed source, reported that Holmes, 33, and Cruise, 50, had been negotiating visitation, child support and a property settlement.
In a move that Cruise's spokeswoman said left the "Mission: Impossible" star "deeply saddened," Holmes filed divorce papers in New York in late June, ahead of last week's United States Independence Day holiday, citing irreconcilable differences.
According to her attorneys, Holmes was seeking sole custody of their six-year-old daughter, Suri, and much speculation has surfaced that Holmes wants to raise the young girl outside the Church of Scientology, of which Cruise is a key member.
Cruise flew back to Los Angeles from a film shoot in Iceland early last week, and since then has remained publicly quiet about the divorce. Cruise and Holmes married in 2006 and have been enthusiastically followed by celebrity watchers.
