Good Luck With That, TomKat!

From the start of this bizarre relationship I have felt deeply sorry for Katie Holmes.

Not only was she sent on an intense study course to learn the ins and outs of her husband-to-be’s religion, Scientology, she then had to raise their only child under it’s strict regime too.

Yet, after years of trying to be happy in a marriage she was ‘unhappy in for years’, Katie Holmes has finally filed for divorce from Tom Cruise.

This is the sort of media love-story I hate to see. We don’t know whether they have tried counselling, time apart or any other healing processes but the couple have gone straight for divorce. Katie is behind the filing with the hopes of gaining sole custody of their beautiful little girl, Suri.

The papers are saying that Katie (who was brought up a Catholic) has grown to ‘dislike and distrust’ the Scientology movement and has filed the divorce papers in the state of New York instead of California as they ‘dislike giving warring parents joint custody’. This, to me, doesn’t sound good. It seems the relationship must be at sour points if they are ‘at war’ with one another but from experience (my mother and father divorced when I was younger and it was a very bitter war to the end) I know how much it can affect young children (my brother was 10-years-old).

At the moment Suri is being brought up the ‘Scientology Way’ which means she is treated like an adult and is able to make all her own decisions. This may, however, explain a few of her outfit choices;

Heels and lipstick? I’l be watching this one for future blog posts!!

Anyway, the media (and anyone with a hint of common sense) are predicting a messy custody battle with this one which I find so saddening. What I really want to know is how hard they truly worked to save their relationship becuase I know it’s not easy at times but you have to try. I hope they’ve done all they can and consider the little one’s feelings in all this.

We’ll have to see how this one turns out.

Allow Me To Introduce Myself…

28 Jun

So now I have figured out how to blog I’m going to start making some posts a little more personal every now and then.

Let me introduce myself a little bit; if you didn’t know already I am a 21-year-old romantc-kinda girl who is a sucker for happy endings, Disney movies and traditional love tales.

I look forward to the day I get to marry my soulmate and set up shop for my new family and I (let’s hope my boyfriend doesn’t read this and totally freak out!)

Hearing, reading and watching love stories unfold is my little past-time; traditional novels, Hollywood rom-coms, celebrity weddings, old-fashioned family photo albums and local love-heroes are what it’s all about. Everyone loves somebody, whether you love your best friends, significant other, relatives, whoever.

Love, though, is a huge genre, which I may have to break down with examples over different posts!

This post however has been brought on by my obsession with Khloe Kardashian. Khloe is the youngest of the three Kardashian sisters, is married to basketball player Lamar Odom and is, in my opinion, the most humbling of the Kardashian clan.

What I admire the most about Khloe and her relationship with Lamar is clearly portrayed on their reality show ‘Khloe & Lamar’. They dote on one another and are eath other’s number one priority in every decision they make, emotion they feel and place that they go. I find it refreshing to see a celebrity couple who openly share mutual respect for one another through thick and thin.

That’s the sort of modern day love story I enjoy as I try just as hard and appreciate my own relationship just as much.

Hopefully, this is one celebrity marriage that can last the test of time and prove to plenty of young people who have lost hope in the sanctity of marriage that it is possible to find your soulmate.

I’ll wrap this up before I start to sound far too ‘Disney’ but I hope I’m not the only person to still believe in marriage, long-term commitments and not thinking all marriages will end in messy divorces! It can happen! Just take a look at David and Victoria Beckham (still together since they started dating in 1997) , Will and Jada Pinkett Smith (married for 15 years) and, possibly the most impressive celebrity couple, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson (who have been married since 1988!).
