Jennifer Lopez Speaks About Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes Divorce

July 13, 2012 by Hollywoodite

Jennifer Lopez has offered a series of soundbites in response to the divorce of friends Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

Lopez’s father is reportedly a Scientologist, Lopez herself is reportedly a follower of the faith, and she’s been friendly with the former couple for years (for example, here are photos of Lopez, her estranged husband Marc Anthony, Cruise, and Holmes, at the December 7, 2006 premiere for The Pursuit of Happyness starring another friend and rumoured Scientologist, Will Smith).

Asked about the split, Lopez told Entertainment Tonight: “I heard about it when I was in South America and I was stunned. I’m sad for them. They’re both really lovely people, and just like Marc and I, it’s not what you want to happen. You fight and you try until you realize you can’t anymore. You know I just wish them, you know, peace in their decision. And really for Suri and their other children as well, because you become such a family, it’s not just Suri, it’s Connor and Isabella and everybody, you know, you all become a family. And when that breaks apart, nobody wins; everybody’s heartbroken in some way. And I just wish them peace.”
