>>> it's over. just days after they split, tom cruise and katie holmes among the most watched celebrity couples in this country announced today they've settled their case. they're walking away. they've formally agreed to end their five-year marriage. our report tonight from nbc's kristen dahlgren.
>> reporter: the end of the marriage came as quickly as it started.
>> have you ever felt this way before?
>> reporter: tom cruise who once jumped on oprah's couch to announce his whirlwind romance today issued a joint statement with katie holmes asking for privacy and expressing respect for each other's commitment to each of our respective beliefs.
>> i think when they make reference to each of our respective beliefs, they're really talking about scientology and the fact that katie was never very much onboard with tom's religion.
>> reporter: cruise the world's most famous member of the controversial church of scientology . holmes was raised catholic and portrayed in the tabloids as a woman trapped in a controlling marriage. today she was spotted taking 6-year-old daughter suri to a museum and divorce experts say the split and settlement within two weeks may have been perfectly played by katie . the pair had lived here together in los angeles , but holmes recently rented a place across the country in new york. where she was often photographed over the past few months and where she filed for divorce.
>> the courts in new york are going to be more favorable to women on issues of child custody. they're going to be more conservative about religious issues such as scientology, probably, and so this was a carefully and perfectly orchestrated campaign on katie 's part.
>> reporter: in the end the quick settlement saved both sides from a drawn out and very public court battle, though it's unlikely to stop the rampant curiosity about the fairy tale romance and lightning fast divorce for the couple formerly known as tom-kat.
