Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise were hot sensations in Hollywood after the couple announced their relationship and also after they announced their split.

Sources suggest that Holmes’ father negotiated the prenuptial agreement, which later proved helpful in her divorce settlement with Tom Cruise. According to Vanity Fair, the divorce was resolved in mere 11 days, which was considered pretty quick by Hollywood standards.

Her father, who is also a lawyer, wanted to make sure that his daughter escaped Scientology, which is said to be one of the reasons for Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise’s split.

Dawson’s Creek is available to stream on Hulu.
