Written by . Published: August 22 2012
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are officially single again - their divorce case was closed on Monday (20Aug12).
The Batman Begins star stunned Hollywood this summer (12) when she announced her five-year marriage to Cruise was over, and she filed to legally end the union on 28 June (12), citing "irreconcilable differences" for the split.
The estranged couple managed to reach a divorce settlement just
days later, on 9 July (12), and now New York court records show the
case has been officially closed.
Details of the legal agreement have been kept under wraps, although
the actress is believed to have been granted primary custody of
their six-year-old daughter Suri, with Cruise given generous
visitation rights.
