Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes 'led separate lives' prior to divorce Jul 1st 2012, 10:45 Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' marriage fell apart after they lived in separate sections of the same apartment in the Scientology Celebrity Centre, it has been reported. Celebrity divorce lawyer Jonathan Wolfe confirmed Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are to divorce on Friday (Picture: AP) It was revealed that the A-list couple had split earlier this week after Holmes filed for divorce, bringing an to end their five-and-a-half year marriage. It seems there had been deep cracks in the pair's relationship for some time however, with Cruise thought to have been living in a separate section of their large apartment situated in the Scientology-devoted Celebrity Centre in LA. Details have emerged of the unnatural life the pair were leading, with a source telling the Sunday Mirror: 'It was really weird in all respects. 'There were men in suits on all the doors of the complex and they would often escort you up to the apartment in an elevator keeping an eye on you. It was quite unnerving. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have a six-year-old daughter, Suri (Picture: AP) 'Tom and Katie had a lot of people coming to see them there, to cut their hair and cook for them and stuff. Everyone knew they stayed in ­separate sections of the apartment but nobody mentioned it. 'Katie was really embarrassed about it, and didn't seem to like people to see the way they were living behind closed doors. But she just got on with it and knew there was nothing she could do about it.' The couple during happier times (Picture: AP) The actors were not only living in separate bedrooms but leading separate lives, with Cruise thought to have been exercising a considerable amount of control over Holmes' life after famously converting her to Scientology – telling her when she can see her parents and insisting that she refer to herself as Kate rather than Katie. Reports in the US suggest that Katie's desire for divorce came as a shock to the Mission Impossible star, with a recent photo of the pair on the set of his new movie Oblivion seeing him holding Holmes's hand while she looks away uncomfortably. Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise are thought to have amassed a fortune of £175m together (Picture: AFP/Getty) The estranged couple now face a bitter custody battle over six-year-old daughter Suri, with Holmes' decision to file for divorce in New York counting in her favour as the state generally doesn't like granting joint custody to warring couples.
