Tom has been in the news again and unfortunately it was
about his personal life and
his divorce from Katie Holmes.
This was his third marriage
and it may be time to take a
look at his and his former
wife’s birth orders to understand
his marriages.
Tom’s Birth Order
Tom was born July 3, 1962 the
third and only boy in his
family. Everyone was close in age:
Lee Ann #1
1959
Marian #2
1961
Tom #3 1962
Cass #4
1963
Being the only boy Tom would
be expected to act like a
firstborn. He was also
nurtured by his sisters something
he would look for in a mate.
He is still close to his sisters
and he has said he could live
with any of them. His need
to act like a firstborn was
something he may have felt
necessary as his single mother
raised the family. Tom was
twelve years old when his
mother divorced. This attempt
to be the man of the house
was only an act as his number
three birth order makes him a
very sensitive person and
not one to give orders.
Threes see the world and act very
differently than a
firstborn. Third borns are very open to
new ideas and will follow
them with a religious zeal. This
could be the case with his
adoption of Scientology. His first
wife Mimi Rogers said Tom was
thinking of becoming a
monk. When he was a student
at a Franciscan seminary he
aspired to become a Catholic
priest. This fits perfectly with
the world view of a number
three and their outreach to
humanity. Laughing on the
outside but crying on the inside
would be Tom’s way of
coping. He will try not to show he
has been hurt but his
sensitivity is just below the surface.
His ideal match would be a #1,
#2 or #4 that had a #3 brother,
which is his birth order.
Wife #1 Mimi Rogers
Mimi was born in 1952 making
her six years older than Tom.
She is a firstborn with a
younger brother. This match was good
for Tom as Mimi matched the
birth order of his older sister
Lee Ann also a
firstborn. Unfortunately Mimi did not
have a
number three brother so this
marriage was difficult for her
to understand Tom. She is
credited for introducing Tom to
Scientology. Their marriage lasted three years.
Wife #2 Nicole Kidman
Nicole was born in 1967, the
older of two girls. Her sister
Antonia was born three years
later in 1970. This makes the
second firstborn that Tom
married, he again matched the
childhood birth order of his
older sister Lee Ann. Maybe
he had the feeling that
Nicole would be taking care of him
like his older sister. The problem here is that Nicole had no
brothers in her family and no
one in the third birth order
position. This would have made it difficult for her to
understand Tom. This marriage lasted 11 years and they
adopted two children. It was
during this time that rumors
circulated that the marriage
was a cover up for Tom’s
homosexuality. They
successfully sued the The Star on
this issue. Maybe his posing
like a dominate first born
but acting like a sensitive
thridborn gave the wrong
impression?
Wife #3 Katie Holmes
Katie was born in 1978 the
fifth and last child in her family.
She carries a double birth
order since there is a five year
gap between the first three
children and the last two.
This is what the birth orders
look like in her family.
Tamera #1 1968
Holly Ann #2
1969
Martin Joseph Jr. #3
1970
5yr Gap
Nancy Kay #4/1 1975
Katie #5/2 = #1/2 1978
Katie becomes a #1/2 Double
Birth order as the fifth born
starts the birth order sequence
again. You might say a #5 is
a gentle # 1. She gains the
#2 birth order as she is the second
one in the second group of
children. A person with this type
of Double Birth order
vacillates between the two personalities.
Giving orders like a
firstborn but then not wanting to be told
what to do like a second
born. You might say that Tom saw
his two older sisters in
Katie. She may have seen Tom as she
did her older brother Martin.
Martin like Tom is a third born
with two older sisters. Tom
matches her family birth order in
number and gender perfectly.
This was the first marriage for
Tom to someone who could
really understand him. Maybe
that is why he was so
excited, jumping on Oprah’s couch
when he announced his marriage to
Katie. He had finally found
his “soul” mate, but did he? Unfortunately
Katie carries two
birth orders so Tom would never be
sure who she was. He
was totally blindsided when served with
divorce papers. This
marriage lasted six years.
The Future Mrs. Cruise
I hope this blog information
gets to Tom so that his next
marriage will be his last. He almost got it right this time so
next time should be the charm. As a reader check your own
birth order and that of your mate or
significant other and see
if you have a perfect match. You can read more
