| Family: Mrs Holmes is believed to have
blind-sided her Mission Impossible star husband by initiating divorce
proceedings and seeking sole custody of Suri Cruise |
It looks like Tom Cruise's unlucky
number is 33 - as all three of his ex-wives called it quits when they
reached that very same age.
Mimi
Rogers, Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes were all in their early thirties
when their marriages to the Hollywood leading man took a turn for the
worse.
Fans of the
heartbroken star searched for a meaning, some postulating that the
number 33 is related somehow to Mr Cruise's religion, Scientology.
Mr
Cruise married Mimi Rogers when she was 31 in May of 1987. She was 33
when they broke up in 1990. In his second marriage to Nicole Kidman, the
actors stayed together for ten years. They split in 2001, when she was
33.
His wedding with
Katie Holmes was in 2006 when she was 28 and this week, when she filed
for divorce, she had reached the ripe old age of 33.
In each case, divorce proceedings began when the wives were 33 and concluded when the were 34.
Perez Hilton
dug deep into Scientology to find out what, if any importance there is
to the number 33. Turns out, the first Church of Scientology was
established in Phoenix, Arizona, which lies on the 33rd parallel.
In numerology, the number 33 is for the
'master teacher' represented by the Archangel Michael. The number 33 is
associated with the power of healing
through love; people with the life path number 33 are totally selfless
and love unconditionally.
Regardless
of the positive connotations, Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise's divorce
will not be recognized by the church of Scientology, according to church
documents.
With sole custody of Suri, Mrs Holmes
would be able to remove her daughter from the Church of Scientology
despite her husband's enthusiasm for it.
The
estranged couple have been raising Suri in accordance with the doctrine
of the Church of Scientology - treating her as an adult, free to make
her own decisions.
