Katie Holmes has remained largely silent about her personal life in the three years since she ended her relationship with both Tom Cruise and the Church of Scientology. In 2012, after five years of marriage, Holmes filed for divorce from Cruise and finalized it 10 days later.

According to celebrity gossip site Radar Online, Holmes signed a five-year divorce contract with Cruise that forbids her to talk about her relationship or Scientology for five years.

"Katie signed a clause in her quickie divorce settlement that prevents her from embarrassing Tom in various ways, like talking about him or Scientology, or publicly dating another man for five years after the divorce," a source told Radar.

Holmes, according to the source, is allowed to date but must do so secretly and cannot let any boyfriend be around her daughter, Siri, whom she shares joint custody with Cruise.

"Katie wanted out of the marriage so badly, she agreed to the terms—and got $4.8 million in child support, plus another $5 million for herself," the source said.

If she breaks this contract, according to the source, she could lose the money from the divorce agreement. And with the deal over in 2017, Holmes could allegedly speak publicly for the first time about what she experienced while involved with Cruise and the Church of Scientology.

In recent years, many notable former members of Scientology have come forth to reveal the organization's practices. Ron Miscavige wrote a memoir about his son David, the leader of Scientology, which exposed the man's obsessive, toxic personality. Going Clear, one of HBO's most successful documentaries, uncovered the brutal, unethical tactics of the organization.
