A judge in New York City ruled on Tuesday that the five-year-union between the two Hollywood stars was over, a source confirmed to E!Online, adding that they remain amicable.

Ever since Holmes, 33, blindsided Cruise with divorce papers on June 29, just days before his 50th birthday, the process to end their marriage has been a speedy one.

On July 9, the two ironed out a settlement, which reportedly laid out the details of the custody of their 6-year-old daughter Suri (Holmes gets sole custody with Cruise having "meaningful" visitation), as well as their financials.

The once over-the-top in love couple had a prenuptial agreement, and Holmes apparently didn’t get much money from the "Mission: Impossible" star in exchange for control over where Suri would go to school and how she would be raised (not in Cruise’s beloved Scientology).

The stress of recent events has clearly taken a toll on Tom, with the UK's Daily Mail reporting that Tom has lost '14lbs (6.5kg) in just three weeks'. It has also been reported that since Katie filed for divorce he has thrown himself into his work. The star is currently shooting the film 'Oblivion 2' on location in California.

A source has told Grazia magazine 'He is refusing to slow down and is trying to soldier on. He doesn't seem to be himself. He hasn't been working out like he normally does and doesn't appear to be eating well at all. His clothes just hang off him.'

Despite their personal issues, Holmes and Cruise have both proven themselves to be doting, dedicated parents since their split. Cruise has twice had visitation with Suri: once in New York City, where they went on a helicopter ride; the other time at Disney World, where he treated his little princess to a night in Cinderella’s very own castle.

Holmes, meanwhile, has kept her daughter busy in the Big Apple with gymnastics classes, tea parties, and cupcake runs, in addition to quality time spent with her cousins in Holmes’ native Ohio. Though their marriage didn’t work out, Cruise and Holmes both certainly love Suri.
