Report claims actor will marry inside the church next – and soon, too

Tom Cruise isn't even a single man yet (at least not officially) but people are already talking about his next marriage: apparently, it has been decided. He will tie the knot to someone from inside the Church of Scientology, most likely to “Scientology princess” Yolanda Pecoraro.

Since all his 3 previous wives weren't Scientologists, chances are the Church leaders believe Tom would have more luck if he wed someone who shared his beliefs.

Radar Online, for one, writes that Yolanda would be perfect in this sense for him, especially since they also dated briefly back in 2004 and Tom was completely smitten with her at the time.

More importantly, though, Yolanda has been taking Scientology courses ever since she was only 13, and both her parents are also members of the Church.

“Tom's next marriage will be inside the church,” Scientology expert Margery Wakefield is quoted as saying.

If that's true, Yolanda would be the ideal candidate. Plus, she's young (27) and incredibly beautiful.

“With the embarrassment his divorce has caused the church, they want to stabilize the situation quickly,” an inside source is further quoted.

In other words, the Church might pressure Tom into getting a new wife, one that would not put him through the public embarrassment Katie Holmes put him through just a few weeks ago, when she blindsided him by filing for divorce.

“They also want to show that Tom has rebounded fast and that his new wife is beautiful and steeped in Scientology. If the church decides to make Yolanda Tom's next wife, they'd certainly want her to have a child soon,” the insider goes on to say.

“So she could quickly be going from her modest apartment to a mansion in Beverly Hills with a baby on the way. And there's little doubt she'd do what's best for the church,” adds the spy.

Given the controversy that's been following Tom for years no matter what he does, and the interest in his marriage to Katie, we should probably expect more reports like the one above in the following months.
