Tom Cruise has thrown himself back into work following today's announcement that the divorce agreement between him and Katie Holmes has been settled.

The 50-year-old actor was pictured arriving in Mammoth Lake Airport, California, on his private jet as he prepared to shoot scenes on his new movie Oblivion.

Katie, meanwhile, was pictured out in New York today with their six-year-old daughter Suri, who she has gained sole custody.

Something to talk about: The actor was spotted chatting on his phone as he left the movie set

A spokesman for Oblivion told E! News today that Cruise will be filming scenes for the movie over the next few days.

Tom was in Iceland filming when he learnt of 33-year-old Katie's intention to file for divorce.

Since then he has been keeping a low profile - and flew to Los Angeles for a sombre 50th birthday celebration last week, where he joined his adopted children Isabella, 19, and Conor, 1! 7, from his previous marriage to Nicole Kidman.

Speaking about the the out-of-court divorce settlement today, Cruise's lawyer Bert Fields told E! News:

'Tom is really pleased we got there, and so am I.'

Also spotted on location today was Tom's huge bus, called Silver Screen, apparently one of several extravagant gifts given to him by Scientology leaders.

Earlier today Holmes' lawyer has confirmed her highly-publicised divorce with Cruise has been settled, as reports emerged she will have 'sole custody' of their daughter.

It seems the couple have reached an agreement out of court, meaning the actor's beloved Scientology is no longer at risk of scrutiny with the religion's secrets being dissected during a trial.

Jonathan Wolfe said: 'This case has! been se ttled and the agreement has been signed.'

Speaking to TMZ, he added: 'We are thrilled for Katie and her family and are excited to watch as she embarks on the next chapter of her life.

'We thank Tom's counsel for their professionalism and diligence that helped bring about this speedy resolution'.

According to TMZ, while Katie has sole custody of Suri, Tom will still get significant custodial time with his daughter.

Apparently the agreement also includes details on what Tom and Katie are allowed to tell Suri regarding religion, including Scientology.

The restrictions are eased as Suri gets older, the website reports.

A separate source, speaking to Radar, also revealed that Suri will remain with Katie in New York, where they currently reside, and will be accompanied by her own nanny and team of bodyguards when she visits father Tom on weekly occasions. However an insider who spoke to TMZ has disputed this.

The insider told Radar: 'Katie insisted that Suri's nanny and bodyguards always accompany her when she visits Tom... This will ensure a smooth and easy transition for Suri when she is with Tom.

'Suri is Katie's number one priority. Tom only has Scientologists that work for him and Katie insisted that her staff will always be with their daughter.

'Under terms of the settlement, Suri isn't permitted to be exposed to anything Scientology related and this includes going to any Scientology churches, parties, etc. Katie made sure that this was ironclad.'

Suri will also not be expected to attend a Scientology school, like Cruises adopted children with ex-wife Nicole Ki! dman, Is abella and Conor did.

Fingers began pointing even before reasons of their split came to surface.

And earlier today, the rumours circulating their difference in religious opinion, notably the Cocktail actor's rigid Scientology beliefs, appear to have been confirmed in a joint statement from the couple.

Released by their representatives, the notice states that they will continue to work together as parents and 'express our respect for each other's commitment to each of our respective beliefs'.
