Cruise, meanwhile, is in Iceland shooting the sci-fi thriller "Oblivion."
Reports about the couple have been rampant since news broke Friday that they had split.
A source told People that Cruise "had no idea" the split was coming and is "totally devastated and heartbroken." The magazine also reports that Holmes and the couple's daughter Suri, 6, have moved from the New York apartment they shared with Cruise into a new apartment in the city.
E! Online cites a source that said the split had been a long time coming. "The fairy tale was over," the source said. "They had become more like friends." The source also said Cruise's career became an issue in the marriage.
Us Weekly reports that Holmes' decision to file for divorce was motivated by Suri.
"This is about protecting her daughter," a source told the magazine. "She wants to be in charge of how Suri is being raised and didn't want her to have an exclusively Scientology education."
Another source told Us Weekly, "She felt she had to get out to save her daughter."
TMZ, citing sources familiar with the split, reports that Holmes is seeking sole legal custody of their daughter because she does not want Cruise to control decisions relating to religion. The website also reports that the "final straw" for the actress was her belief that Cruise wanted to send Suri away to a Scientology organization known as Sea Organization.
The Church of Scientology has denied sending anyone to keep tabs on Holmes in the days since the split, responding after TMZ published a story Sunday saying the actress believed she was being followed by the organization.
An attorney for the Church said in a statement, obtained by CBSNews.com, "There is no truth whatsoever to the TMZ.com report (or any other report) that the Church of Scientology has sent anyone to follow or surveil Katie Holmes."
WCBS reports that a white Cadillac Escalade with Tennessee plates had been seen parked outside Holmes' new apartment since the couple's divorce became public. A man in the SUV wouldn't speak to the network's crew and eventually pulled away. The SUV was not there Monday afternoon.

Two things, first I'm not a sociologist or even close... second, your statement looks like you are completely delusional in your thoughts and need to stop watching things like Faux Nooze..

Obviously "Doc" doesn't know the difference between a sociologist and a scientologist.
But we should all pay heed to his completely nonsensical, off-the-wall comment because he is, after all, the expert in his own mind.
But she knew Cruise belonged to that whacked out cult long before she married him.
Sadly, that's not going to happen. She would have to move to another planet for that to happen. They will NEVER let her go.
"The Church of Scientology has denied sending anyone to keep tabs on Holmes in the days since the split..."
Of course that is what they said, but that IS what they do!
That girl is very stupid. She must have heard things about how they operate. Why didn't she do some research??
I watched a program on Scientology and none of it was good. It was scary. It said that once you have joined them, there ain't no getting out. They will follow you and keep you in line. Your children are forever theirs. In fact, she better hope that Tom doesn't get custody (not that it will matter), because she will never see her again. She will be sent away, probably to the place that Tom is wanting her to go, and she will not be seen again. Katie will be kept away from her.
Why are people so STUPID??
Well, perhaps semi-true.
Just before I joined the Army, my housemates and I went to see the Exorcist in Georgetown. There were a couple of Scientology nut-jobs standing on the street corner as we headed back to our car, asking people if people would like to come take a "personality test." We agreed, just for fun, but I was the only one that they talked into signing up (and paying) for their introductory correspondence course.
I did read the book from the course, just out of curiosity. But I never did send in any "assignments." Never heard anything else from them either.
But somehow, about a year later, they figured out where I'd gone and sent a letter to my company commander expressing their sorrow over the fact that I'd gone AWOL. (Huh? To this day, I have no idea where they came up with that.)
My commander called me into his office, locked my heels (which, to a fairly new member of the military is a very scary thing to have happen), and wanted to know where I'd gone. After a couple of minutes of petrified confusion on my part, he unlocked my heels and told me about the letter. He found the whole thing hilariously funny. Then he threw away the letter and neither one of us ever heard from them again.
No, I'm not delusional, and I don't watch things like Faux Nooze. I've been reading up on this subject for years, and I watched an investigative report program and they interviewed people from the Scientology world. And in that report there was a secret video of Tom Cruise speaking with another Scientologist about someone else. It looked EXACTLY like Tom Cruise, and the voice sounded EXACTLY like Tom Cruise. But how he was talking and what he was saying wasn't like the Tom Cruise we know. I have always thought that we didn't really know the REAL Tom Cruise. This Tom Cruise was scary.
Perhaps you should stick to what YOU know. Obviously this is a subject you know nothing about.
Little gold digger will land on her feet like a cat.
They always do.
Worst of luck to both of these phonies!

Uhhhh, I think that most of us that live in REALITY, do know they don't have perfect lives. Far from it.
