LOS ANGELES --Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes
"amicably settled" their divorce just two weeks after Holmes filed for
it, an attorney told CNN Monday.
While no details of their
agreement are public, the former couple said they are "working
together" in the "best interests" of their young daughter.
In the June 28 divorce
filing, Holmes sought sole custody of 6-year-old Suri. Holmes and Cruise
have been married for five years.
"We are thrilled for
Katie and her family and are excited to watch as she embarks on the next
chapter of her life," said Holmes' attorney Jonathan Wolfe.
Wolfe thanked Cruise's lawyers "for their professionalism and diligence that helped bring about this speedy resolution."
Another one of Holmes' attorneys, Allan Mayefsky, said the divorce was "amicably settled."
"The terms of the
settlement are confidential," Mayefsky said. "The parties have issued a
joint statement regarding this resolution. We will have no further
comment."
That statement, prepared jointly by Cruise, 50, and Holmes, 33, was sent to CNN by Cruise publicist Amanda Lundberg.
"We are committed to
working together as parents to accomplishing what is in our daughter
Suri's best interests," the statement said. "We want to keep matters
affecting our family private and express our respect for each other's
commitment to each of our respective beliefs and support each other's
roles as parents."
