Their last show of unity: Tom Cruise and Katie walk hand-in-hand together two weeks before Holmes files for divorce

By George Arbuthnott and Caroline Graham, Mail on Sunday LA Correspondent


Hand-in-hand Tom Cruise and wife Katie Holmes are seen walking through the streets of Iceland’s capital Reykjavik.

The picture – believed to be the last of the couple together – was taken two weeks ago during what is believed to have been a last-ditch attempt to save their marriage.

But it was clear the reconciliation attempt had failed on Thursday when Katie, 33, ‘blind-sided’ her husband by filing divorce papers in New York seeking custody of their daughter Suri, six.

Now Tom, who has remained in Iceland filming his £100 million sci-fi movie Oblivion, is said to be ‘a broken man’.

Last night insiders said superstar Tom, who has earned an estimated £275 million fortune thanks to hits like Mission: Impossible and Top Gun, has cut an increasingly isolated and lonely figure in past days.

One said: ‘He looks like a broken man. He is one of the most famous people on the planet yet when you see him he now looks like one of the saddest.’

Tom had been planning a lavish party to celebrate his 50th birthday on Tuesday – to which he had reportedly invited celebrity friends like David and Victoria Beckham and Will Smith.

Now sources close to Tom say the party will be ‘a muted affair’.

One Hollywood associate of the actor said: ‘Everyone had been talking about the party and who would be going. Tom had already flown his adopted son Connor over to Iceland and the word was that this was going to be a big celebration. Now it will be a muted affair.

‘Tom was totally blindsided by Katie filing for divorce. He knew there were problems in the marriage but he had hoped they could work them out for the sake of their child.’ Katie, a devout Catholic, initially embraced Tom’s Scientology beliefs but has now enrolled Suri in a private Catholic school in Manhattan and is determined to raise the child as a Catholic.

She is also said to have tired of her husband’s increasingly ‘boring’ ways. ‘Tom is nearing 50 and when he’s not working he either goes to the gym or hangs out with his Scientology buddies,’ said the Hollywood source.

Cruise is finding refuge in a remote hilltop villa, pictured, and is said to be reflecting on being 'blindsided' by his soon-to-be-ex-wife

‘Katie is still a young woman and she wants to go out and have fun. She wants her freedom back.’ Days after Katie left Iceland on a private jet, Tom took a helicopter to an isolated £1 million villa on the north of the island where he holed up with Connor, 17, the son he adopted during his marriage to Nicole Kidman.

The source said: ‘Connor seems to be the one he is leaning on in his hour of need.

They have always had a strong bond. Tom finds it hard to trust anyone outside his immediate family. It is no surprise that Connor is with him at this difficult time.’ The actor had travelled with Katie and Suri to Iceland on Friday June 15 in a private jet.

They landed at Reykjavik airport and then immediately went to the £600-a-night presidential suite at the Hilton, according to local reports.

The 1,200 sq ft penthouse has a jacuzzi and a private lift and Tom had his private chef working in the kitchen, cooking organic food for them.

The couple were then photographed taking the short walk in the centre of the city the day after their arrival.

Katie, wearing a thick navy blue jumper and light blue tight-fitting trousers, clasped the hand of her husband who was dressed in a matching dark blue roll-neck pullover and slacks.

His eyes were covered in a pair of aviator sun glasses suitable for what was an unusually hot day in the city.

The couple were flanked by security guards as they browsed a number of fashion shops and were picked up and dropped off in a black vehicle.

Tom is said to have employed a large security detail with bodyguards from both America and Iceland hired for the trip. That night the pair dined at upmarket Sushi Samba. A waiter told The Mail on Sunday: ‘I am surprised by the news of the divorce because they didn’t seem that unhappy when I saw them.

‘They did ask all of the customers not to take photographs of them while they were dining. They were there with their daughter. They asked for “privacy” from the other guests.’

Later that evening Tom had been expected to attend a cast and crew party at a popular bar, the Kex Hostel, but apparently had a change of heart after his family dinner. A staff member said: ‘Yes, we were very excited that Tom Cruise might be coming but we were very disappointed when he did not.’

On Monday June 18, Tom flew by helicopter to his rented villa, which belongs to the Swiss millionaire Thomas Martin Seiz.

The chopper was photographed landing in front of the property just feet from the front door.

It is thought Katie and Suri flew back to America around this time.

The 430 sq ft property, named Hrafnabjörg, is set high on a hill and affords stunning views across a bay to the town of Akureyri, which has around 15,000 inhabitants.

The windswept location would have been a poignant place for Tom to reflect on the end of his marriage. He did not lack for comfort. The property is one of the most expensive in Iceland and houses a 40 sq ft swimming pool and a jacuzzi.

The two-storey modern building has an open-plan kitchen and living room with glass windows from floor-to-ceiling. Tom left the house on Thursday after being flown each day by helicopter for filming on location at Hrossaborg Myvatn, a huge lake surrounded by brown desolate moonscape.

When the divorce news broke on Friday afternoon, Tom was thought to have been again sheltering at the Hilton Hotel in Reykjavik.

However yesterday there was no sign of the star at the hotel. The film is due to end its Icelandic filming on Friday.

A prim and proper Rihanna, Jennifer Aniston's mugshot and an obese Johnny Depp... the A-list as you've never imagined

By J J Anisiobi and Anthony Goodridge


They are revered for their good looks and superb style of dress almost more than their talent as entertainers.

But what would the world's most famous faces look like if they didn't have the best make-up artists and stylists that money can buy?

Thanks to the handy work of one artist called Danny Evans, we now know exactly what a number of stars including Rihanna, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston would look like if they were average Joes.


Scrub down: Rihanna doesn't seem so glamorous without her outrageous style in this photo-shopped picture of the Bajan-born star

The shock factor: The always trim Jennifer Aniston would likely be a bit larger if she didn't have personal chefs and trainers

In an age where quick fix diets, personal chefs and Botox keep the beautiful looking radiant, New York artist Danny has stripped them back to humdrum.

As a platinum selling pop star Rihanna is one of the most photographed women in the world, but without her outrageous dress sense she looks bland.

Full-time artist Danny takes celebs and 'presents them as duller versions of themselves - maybe a little frumpier, heftier or a little plainer.'


Material girl: If Madonna aged without her tough exercise regime she may be less toned and more saggy


Born to be bad: Heartthrob Johnny Depp still has his facial hair but he has also gained a few pounds too

The other half: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie do not look a million miles away from their normal appearance but their style is lacking

He told the MailOnline: 'Basically just stripping away their cool personas I always find it interesting to see what's left after the Hollywood has been scrubbed off.

'My intention wasn't necessarily to age them, but to strip them of their 'Hollywood' facade. That has more or less been my general goal with this series all along.'

The talented Danny has transformed the faces of some heavyweight names from the big screen and turned heartthrob Johnny Depp into a obese biker.


A sight for sore eyes: Miley Cyrus might decide to keep her current hairstyle rather than opting for a quiff


The cool: Jay-Z and Beyoncé have lost their edge as they have been transformed into a nerdy married couple

He also showed what Madonna could potentially look like if she aged naturally and dressed more appropriately for her age.

His fascination with celebrities began back in 2006 when socialite Paris Hilton was at her peak of popularity.

He said: 'I created the Planet Hiltron series in 2006. At that time, Paris Hilton's mug was all over the place. It was inescapable - magazines, television, the internet, everywhere.


Grey star: Gwyneth Paltrow has aged graciously and still looks pretty with a silver bob


Transformers: Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas and John Travolta also got the special treatment from New York artists Danny Evans

The simple life: Nicole Richie is definitely lacking her Hollywood style in the altered image of her

'So, I started a Myspace page satirizing her overexposure. At first I only focused on Paris, putting her face on any random image: Paris as Einstein, Paris as Ginger Rogers, Paris as a canary.'

No one is safe from his smart work and two of the planets most glamorous couples have been made to look distinctively average.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie look scruffy and disheveled while Beyoncé and her rapper husband Jay-Z both got transformed into a geeky looking married couple.

By Andrea Magrath


..Excited father-to-be Robbie Williams revealed a picture of his wife Ayda's baby bump on his website today.

The singer, 38, posted the picture of his pregnant wife posing in their LA home, writing, 'My two girls!'

Ayda, 32, lifts her T-shirt to reveal her growing belly in the snap, beaming with happiness.

She wears cropped tracksuit bottoms and a tight-fitting T-shirt, and despite her growing stomach is clearly remaining in great shape.

'My two girls!' Robbie Williams posted a picture of his pregnant wife Ayda on his website today

The couple's first child is due in September.

Robbie announced the happy news back in March that he and his wife of almost two years are expecting a baby. Less than a week later, they revealed she is a girl.

It was recently claimed that the parents-to-be are contemplating naming their daughter Roberta, after her famous father, but also like Genevieve and Alice.

They have already shopped for the new addition at Petit Trésor, the exclusive baby store on Robertson Boulevard near their £9 million mansion in Beverly Hills.

Custom-designed sleigh cribs cost up to £2,400 and a Notte Fatata which stores nappies, will cost £9,291.

Baby joy: The couple, who married in August 2010, are expecting their first child in September

A source told the Star: 'He's always wanted to be a dad so he's going all out so his new daughter will be treated like a princess.

'He wants her top have the best of everything.'

And one of the singer's neighbours told the paper: 'It's safe to say he's completely gone gaga over his baby - and why not? He's a great guy and I'm sure he'll make a wonderful father.'

Williams announced that he is to become a father in typically comic fashion, writing on his website in March: 'Hey friendlies, I've been keeping a secret from you all. Me and Ayda are going to be a Mummy and Daddy this year!!!!!!!!

He added: 'We had sex! It works!

'We've seen scans and cried... looked at babies in commercials and teared up... the nursery is already planned.

'Basically I'm in love with a little person growing in mummy's belly... and can't wait to be a daddy. Crying now.

'Much love, much joy. Roberto, Mum and Little Bump. xxx'

Rolling in the diapers: Adele announces she is expecting a baby with boyfriend Simon Konecki

By Andrea Magrath


Adele has announced today that she is pregnant with her first child with boyfriend Simon Konecki.

The singer, 24, revealed the news on her website to her fans, writing: 'I'm delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together.

'I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we’re over the moon and very excited but please respect our privacy at this precious time. Yours always, Adele xx'

The Someone Like You singer has been dating the 36-year-old since last summer, and went public with the relationship in January.

Adele told People magazine recently that she 'really wants to be a mum', adding that it is her goal to have three sons by the time she is 30. 'I better start getting on with it!' she said

Shortly after her sweep of the Grammys back in February, the singer also told US Vogue magazine that she was 'f***ing off' for four or five years' to concentrate on her relationship.

'If I am constantly working, my relationships fail,' she said at the time.'
'So at least now I can have enough time to write a happy record. And be in love and be happy.

'And then I don't know what I'll do. Get married. Have some kids. Plant a nice vegetable patch.'

It seems that her planned schedule has not exactly occurred in that order, as rumours were first sparked when Adele turned up to the Ivor Novello awards two months ago wearing a smock-stye dress that concealed her figure.


Announcement: The singer, 24, revealed the news on her website today

Settling down: Adele, pictured with Simon at the Grammy Awards, has been discussing having children recently, even saying she wants 'three sons by 30'

In February Adele purchased a £7 million mansion in Sussex for the couple to live in.

Adele, who underwent throat surgery to repair damage to her vocal chords in November, gushed about her man to Vogue, revealing: 'He's wonderful. And he's proud of me, but he don't care about what I do or what other people think. He looks after me. I don't think I would have gotten through the recovery for my surgery if it hadn't been for him.'

She also ticked off what makes her good in a relationship: 'I am attentive. I will do anything for my man. I am a good cook. I'm funny. Always want to have sex - Well, most girls don't!'

Whirlwind: The couple began dating last summer and their romance went public in January

Shortly after Simon and Adele's relationship became known, it was reported that the entrepreneur, and old Etonian, was still married.

Adele hit back at the claims, taking to her website to set the record straight. 'This is the first and last time I will comment on the details of my relationship with Simon,' she wrote in January.

'Contrary to reports and headlines in the press today, Simon is divorced and has been for 4 years.'

Something to hide? Adele sparked rumours when she turned up to the Ivor Novello Awards in May wearing a smock-style dress that concealed her figure

'Everyone in our lives separately and together wish us nothing but the best, and vice versa. These are the facts.'

Adele previous dated part-time DJ Ned Biggs, who is believed to have been the source of some of her most heartbreaking hits.

Their relationship is thought to have lasted several months, several years ago.

End of a Hollywood romance: How Tom Cruise's love affair with Katie Holmes started out with fist pumps on Oprah's couch but fizzled in tears

By Daily Mail Reporter


It was a relationship that raised eyebrows from the very start.

She was the beautiful ingenue from wholesome teen drama Dawson's Creek and he was the world's biggest, and it was starting to seem to some... oddest, movie star.

At 28, Katie Holmes could've passed for 18, and had an air of wholesome normality that had long since disappeared from Cruise's weird world as he hurtled towards his mid-Forties.

APRIL 2005 Where it all began: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes looked like giddy teenagers when they were first picture together in Italy. He wooed her by decorating their hotel room in Rome with rose petals

When they were first pictured together as a couple, in Italy where they would later marry, the incredulity amongst press and fans alike was tangible.

Tom had dated the more age appropriate and sophisticated Penelope Cruz and never asked her to marry him, and now he was squiring this girl who had been on the arm of American Pie's Chris Klein... it all seemed so unlikely.

But the couple went on to become TomKat, one of the most talked about couples of the century...if perhaps for all the wrong reasons.


MAY 23, 2005 Crazy in love: Tom jumped on Oprah Winfrey's sofa, declaring: 'I can't be cool. I can't be laidback. It's..something that has happened and I feel I want to celebrate it and I wanna celebrate her. She's a very special woman.'

JUNE 17, 2005 Yes! Yes! Yes! Katie flashes her engagement ring in Paris after Tom proposed over a candlelit dinner at Le Jules Verne restaurant at the Eiffel Tower. 'Today is a magnificent day for me, I'm engaged to a magnificent woman,' he said

Because if the union was supposed to cease gossip about Cruise and his personal life, in particular rumours of his homosexuality – always denied – it failed utterly.

The couple’s wedding was choreographed like a massive movie premiere, with more bodyguards than guests and the ultimate goal seemingly the fantastically romantic images which were released to the media of the A list star and his pretty bride.

This came in the wake of the president of Paramount Sumner Redstone complaining that women found the actor ‘creepy.’

When the romance began – Katie had met Tom to discuss the possibility of appearing in Mission Impossible III – she was immediately sent on an intensive and lengthy study course about Scientology, the religion founded by sci-fi author L Ron Hubbard in 1954, which holds that humans are descended from an exiled race of aliens called Thetans.

JUNE 23, 2005 Swept off her feet: The couple put on very public display of affection at the War Of The Worlds premiere in New York

She was ‘audited’ by Scientology counsellors, and unlike Cruz and Tom's first wife Nicole Kidman before her, totally embraced the movement.

Cruise proposed on June 17, 2005 on the top of the Eiffel Tower following a famously embarrassing declaration of his love on Oprah Winfrey’s show, where he jumped up on the couch yelling ‘I’m in love, I’m in love, I can’t be cool, I can’t be laid back.’

Despite earlier reports that there would be a Roman Catholic ceremony of some sort – Katie was born a Catholic – it was a Scientology wedding.

JUNE 27, 2005 The need for speed: The couple's romance quickly went into overdrive, and the actor took her along to the LA premiere of the sci-fi film

What’s more it was conducted by David Miscavige, Tom Cruise’s best friend who is the head of the movement.

From the outset Miss Holmes struggled to ever settle in their £20million Los Angeles mansion.

Cass Mapother is a key figure here, Tom’s sister – and she and her three sons share the house with Tom and his two adopted children Conor and Isabella.

Miss Holmes never felt that the massive mansion, stuffed with bodyguards, was her home.

Everyone who came through the doors was a Scientologist.

His devotion to the religion meant that he was widely regarded as ‘weird’.

OCTOBER 2005 Baby on board! Katie revealed her bump in all its glory at Tom's daughter Isabella's soccer game in Brentwood after announcing her pregnancy

Andrew Morton's unauthorised biography repeated claims that Suri was thought by some to have been conceived using the frozen sperm of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

This suggestion infuriated Cruise, friends described it as ‘sick, offensive and very upsetting’.

But he'll be perhaps more damaged still by what has so demonstrably happened to Katie Holmes.

Before they met she was a natural beauty, and her physical decline in the five and a half years that followed is almost shockingly obvious.

OCTOBER 2006 It's a girl: The couple's daughter Suri was born in April 2006 but they kept her out of the spotlight, prompting some to question if the child even existed. She finally made her debut five months later on the cover of Vanity Fair

How will Tom – the sofa jumper who wants so desperately to be loved – ever get over this?

Tom gave no hint of trouble in a gushing interview about his wife just last month.

The star said he loved her 'creativity' and claiming their relationship was 'very special'.

He told People magazine: 'She is an extraordinary person, and if you spent five minutes with her, you'd see it. Everything she does, she does with this beautiful creativity. She has a voice and warmth as an artist, as a mother. She's funny and charming, and when she walks into the room, I just feel better.

NOVEMBER 18, 2006 I do! The couple exchanged vows at Odescalchi Castle in Lake Bracciano, Italy, in a ceremony performed by a Scientology minister. The bride wore Armani

'I'm a romantic. I like doing things like creating romantic dinners, and she enjoys that. I don't know what to say - I'm just happy, and I have been since the moment I met her. What we have is very special.'

But the pair have been living increasingly separate lives in recent months, with Tom spending time away from his family to focus on work. He has been promoting his latest film, Rock of Ages, and also filming Oblivion.

Sources have suggested that Tom's absence was started to take a toll on his family - and his young daughter's behaviour.


JULY 22, 2007 Famous friends: Tom and Katie joined Jada and Will Smith in welcoming Victoria and David Beckham to LA with a private party at the Museum of Contemporary Art

NOVEMBER 27, 2008 So close: Katie quickly became an important figure in the lives of Tom's adopted children Isabella and Connor from his marriage to Nicole Kidman. 'They call me Mom,' she has said

'Suri misses her dad,' an insider told Star magazine recently, citing the girl's recent public outbursts as evidence.

'She’s a different child when Tom’s around,' explained the friend. 'Suri was having a complete meltdown on a recent photo shoot for Katie until Tom stopped by unexpectedly. He picked her up and she was suddenly fine.'


FEBRUARY 14, 2009 Happiest family on earth: Tom and Katie visit Disneyland with their daughter Suri and his son Conor

JUNE 2010 Higher power: Katie Holmes was spotted leaving Scientology Center. When the pair first started dating, she was 'really excited' about embracing the actor's controversial religion. Sources now say it played a part in their split

But Tom, who was planning to celebrate his 50th birthday on July 3 in Iceland, insists his brood is accustomed to having him away, saying: 'My family and I have an understanding on that matter.'

The couple's romance has always been high-profile but it's become increasingly obvious that as the Cruise wagon rolled on, Katie lost herself along the way.

Once tipped to be box office name herself, she's enjoyed her biggest success on Broadway away from Hollywood and the Cruise machine.

JULY 16, 2011 Making waves: Katie and Suri visited Tom Cruise in Miami, Florida, while he was filming Rock of Ages

In his most famous - and cringe-worthy - declaration of love, he jumped on Oprah Winfrey's couch in sheer delight.

He told Oprah at the time: 'I can't be cool... I can't be laidback. It's something that has happened and I feel I want to celebrate it and I wanna celebrate her. She's a very special woman.'

He also revealed he wooed her by setting up a series of romantic surprises including a motorcycle ride on a beach and decorating their hotel room in Rome, Italy with rose petals.

APRIL 5, 2012 No sign of trouble: The couple smiled and held hands in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in one of the last pictures of them together. They were seen holding hands in Iceland where Tom is filming just two weeks ago

Katie soon converted to Scientology - the controversial religion which Tom subscribes to.

The couple welcomed their first child together, daughter Suri, in April 2006,
They decided to keep her out of the spotlight for five months following her birth, prompting some to question if the child even existed.

Suri finally made her debut in the October 2006 issue of Vanity Fair and went on to become the biggest-selling edition in the magazine’s history.

Katie's $15million and a $35m mansion: What Holmes stands to gain from her ex-husband... and how she's 'seeking much more'

•Katie Holmes signed a prenuptial agreement which entitles her to $3million for every year of marriage
•Entitled to $35million California mansion
•Couple's estate is worth upwards of $275million


By Rachel Quigley


When they married to great fanfare and with much opulence in an Italian castle in November 2006, talk not only centered on bride Katie Holmes' wedding dress but also on her prenuptial agreement with the groom.

The details? For each year the couple stay married, the Dawson's Creek actress collects $3million - to a maximum of $33 million after 11 years - as well as their palatial home in California.

If their marriage had lasted more than 11 years, Holmes would have received half of Cruises’s reportedly $250 million fortune.

After filing for divorce less than six years later, according to the agreement, Katie should only be entitled to $15 million as well as the couple's $35 million Beverly Hills Mansion.


Split: After five years of marriage, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are set to engage in a messy divorce with speculation as to how much of the Cruise estate Katie is entitled to

Autos: The $1.5million Veyron - which the couple arrived to the Mission Impossible premiere in - features a 16 cylinder engine, The engine is fed by four turbochargers and displaces 7,993 cubic centimeters

But with an estate worth upwards of $275 million, Katie is expected to seek much more and there is already intense speculation as to how much she will collect when the papers are signed.

Sources reveal the 33-year-old is asking for a 'suitable amount' of child support, as well as a division of property, though no mention was made of the prenuptial agreement in divorce papers.

After Katie's lawyer announced her client was filing for divorce, representatives for Tom, 49, released a statement saying he was 'very sad' and 'did not see this coming'.

Since they did not stay married for 11 years, the prenuptial agreement explicitly states that California community property laws won't apply to the divorce - which normally sees a couple's assets split 50/50.

When the divorce is eventually finalized, each will keep their respective earnings from the projects they've worked on since November 2006. That's in addition to the $3 million per year Cruise will give to Holmes.

There were also rumors that a certain degree of 'nastiness' was involved, evidenced by Katie's intent to seek sole custody of Suri.

If she succeeds in this, the child support payments Tom will have to pay for his daughter could prove sizeable.

New York divorce attorney Vikki Ziegler told Hollywood Life that because of the prenup, Katie stands to lose millions and will need to use their six-year-old daughter as a pawn to get more money.

'Most of the estate is Tom's. She’ll have to go for a lot of child support,' she said. 'She’ll have to show that Suri has nannies, cars, activities, clothes, hair appointments. That a hefty amount each month is needed to maintain Suri’s lifestyle.'


Home number one: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes paid about $35 million for this Beverly Hills mansion sprawled over 10,286 square feet which Katie is said to be entitled to in the prenuptial agreement


Their country house in Sussex, England: The home features six bedrooms, an indoor swimming pool, underground garage, a sports pavilion, a game room, greenhouse, high tech security system and a staff cottage is worth $4.75million

Part-time homes: A $7million villa in Italy's Lake Como, left, and a luxury Manhattan apartment add to the couple's multimillion dollar estate

Shortly after they married in 2006, the couple paid $30million for a lavish nine-bedroom home on a Telluride, Colorado, estate which they were later rumored to have added a $10 million bunker to.

They also own a lavish apartment in New York's Manhattan, where Katie is currently said to be holed up with the couple's daughter Suri, while Tom films his new movie Oblivion in Iceland.

A $5 million home in Sussex, England, which features six bedrooms, an indoor swimming pool, underground garage, sports pavilion, high tech security system and staff cottage as well as villa in Italy's Lake Como bought from friend George Clooney for almost $7 million adds to the couple's multimillion dollar estate.

The Mission Impossible actor likes to indulge in a number of expensive hobbies and has over the years collected three aircrafts, several cars and a 60-foot yacht.

After the couple married, the actor bought Katie a luxurious wedding gift in the form of a Gulfstream IV-SP, about which she famously said: 'It's like a bus, only quicker.'


Boats: The couple and daughter Suri took many expensive vacations during their five-year marriage including time spent on their own 'Little Castle' 60ft power yacht


Splash the cash: Daughter Suri is believed to own a $3million designer wardrobe

Motorcycle: Tom Cruise and actress Katie Holmes arrive on a motorbike at a special fan screening of War of the Worlds at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood June 27, 2005

Cruise also owns a luxurious airplane Aviat – Pitts S-2B and a North American Aviation P-51 Mustang. The jet has painted on one of it's side 'Kiss Me, Kate'.

As well as aircrafts, Tom has a number of sports cars in his possession - a Porsce 911 and a 16-cylinder V8.

The couple lived in Beverly Hills so California law would have been applied to the separation of assets.

California is a community property state, so normally a couple's assets must be split evenly in divorce. Any money earned would be split 50/50 as would any debt either Tom or Katie incurred during their marriage.

However the prenuptial agreement changes all that.
