According to UsMagazine.com, Cruise admits “To be 50 and to have experiences and to think you have a grip on everything,  and then it hits you — this is it, what life can do to you. Life is a tragicomedy. You need to have a sense of humor.” Holmes, who now resides in New York with the couple’s daughter Suri, is moving on with her life as well. She is in a new broadway play an also has a fashion line. Director and friend of the couple, Adam Shankman, says “They are incredibly happy. I’ve just been  emailing with [Tom]. He’s coming back.

Cupid’s Advice:

No one ever expects their marriage to come to an end. But what do you do if your partner suddenly wants a divorce? Cupid is here with some advice for you.

2. Protect your assests: If you and your ex have joint bank accounts or anything along those lines, contact a lawyer to help sort out the financial situations.

3. Therapy: Divorce or seperation can be hard and many people find themselves falling into a endless black hole of depression. Try getting therapy. Therapy can help you get over the depressed feelings and help you get your life back on track.
