TWO YEARS AGO

In August 2021, Katie and her lookalike daughter turned heads as they stepped out in New York City .

It was hard to miss that her daughter had a striking similarity to her actress mom in the early days of her career.

With her tall frame and long dark locks, the teen looked just like Katie when she starred in Dawson's Creek over 20 years ago.

Katie starred as Joey Potter in Dawson's Creek from 1998 to 2003, joining the show as a fresh-faced 18-year-old.

On their Friday outing, Katie kept it casual in a cream T-shirt tucked into white pants. Suri wore red shorts and cropped tank top.

Enjoying her evening stroll with her only child, Katie affectionately played with her daughter's brunette tresses while they waited for a crosswalk to turn green.

FATHER-DAUGHTER RELATIONSHIP

Suri has reportedly not seen  Top Gun  star Tom in more than a decade after her mom divorced him when she was five.

Katie gained sole custody of Suri in 2012, along with a generous settlement that has Tom paying a reported £325,000 a year for his daughter’s care.

After the split, Katie took Suri to New York which was 2,400 miles away from LA -based Tom.

The actor has been accused of putting his religion before his daughter, with ex-Scientologists claiming he has been ordered to shun Katie and Suri as non-believers.

High-profile former church member Samantha Domingo, daughter-in-law of opera singer Placido, spoke about the religion in 2019.

Katie Holmes' Daughter Suri: Everything She's Said About Parenting

From the importance of having a good support system to learning to "relinquish control," here's everything Katie Holmes has said about parenting daughter Suri, whom she welcomed with ex-husband Tom Cruise in 2006

For Katie Holmes , "motherhood means everything."

Holmes welcomed her first and only child , daughter Suri Cruise, on April 18, 2006, in Los Angeles with then-husband Tom Cruise . The Dawson's Creek actress and Mission Impossible star first met the year prior and got engaged after a whirlwind two-month courtship , tying the knot with their newborn by their side in Italy in November 2006. After five years of marriage, they split in 2012 .

While Holmes has kept her daughter largely out of the spotlight over the years, she has offered up some insight into her experience as a mother in interviews and shared a handful of throwback photos and sweet tributes to Suri on social media.

"My main goal is to just let her know how much I love her ," the actress told PEOPLE in 2014.

From lessons in motherhood that she's learned along the way to how they bonded during the pandemic, here's everything Katie Holmes has said about parenting her daughter Suri.

On her "overwhelming" love for her daughter

​​"I didn't know how much love I had in me. It's overwhelming," she told designer and friend Zac Posen in an August 2014 cover story for Glamour . "Every day I discover more about this spectacular human being I get to be the mother of."

On showing Suri how proud she is of her

During an August 2014 appearance on the Today show, Holmes stressed that she prioritized her daughter's accomplishments over her own.

"The most important thing for me is letting her know how proud I am and that her accomplishments mean everything," Holmes said. "Whatever I do is whatever. It's really just about her and that's what I think is most important."

On lessons she's learned as a mother and the example she tries to set

"Motherhood means everything to me," Holmes said in a PEOPLE cover story in November 2014. "I'm learning every day, and I have been since the minute I became a mom."

She added that her "patience has grown" and that she was focused on trying to set a positive example for her daughter.

"Between tickle fights and glitter art, I try to throw in some manners along the way. I try to have good manners too, so that's what she sees. I also try to be very creative with her, because I know she's an artist, and that speaks to the girl in me," Holmes said, before adding that she did have to draw the line somewhere. "To be honest? I'm not going to play tag, probably. That's not top of my list. But I'll paint all day, I'll do the creative stuff."

On her priorities as a mother

"My main goal is to just let her know how much I love her," Holmes told PEOPLE in 2014. "Just to let her know that she is so loved. When that's the through line, who cares that my first two pancakes are always burned?"

In April 2023, Holmes told Glamour that she likes to "protect" Suri from the public eye "because she was so visible at a young age."

The actress added: "I'm very grateful to be a parent, to be her parent. She's an incredible person. She's my heart."

On the importance of a reliable support system

Holmes gushed about her ultra-supportive mother, Kathleen, "who is always willing to fly to me if I need her, and even when I don't," she previously told PEOPLE.

She added that her "girlfriends of all ages, who have children of all ages" also were instrumental in raising Suri. "I lean on them. For advice, for recipes, for all of that stuff: 'What am I supposed to do? Can you come over and watch? Can you be a helping hand?' And I do have help, yes, but … it's your baby, you know? You want to be the one who is there," Holmes said.

On navigating mom guilt

The actress revealed that despite her best efforts, she often felt plagued by a sense of guilt. "'Am I enough? Am I doing enough? Have I seen her enough?' " she told PEOPLE that she would ask herself. "Guess what? You're not enough, she hasn't seen you enough, you're horrible: That's how it can feel sometimes. You do the best you can. Some days you feel really good about yourself and some days you don't."

She continued: "Motherhood has taught me to just let go of some things, to relinquish control. There's a playdate you weren't expecting — I've had to learn to ask myself, 'Is this worth it? Is it going to make her smile?' And if it is, then yeah, we're probably gonna do it. Maybe that means dinner at 8 instead of 6, and a snack in between. Fine. Things don't have to happen a certain way. I think we all need to ease up on the expectations. We're all trying to do the best we can. Motherhood taught me that."

On cooking for Suri

Holmes, who rates herself as a "solid 7" when it comes to cheffing it up, discussed her and Suri's routines in the kitchen with PEOPLE in 2016.

​​​"I like to make a nice breakfast and start the day calmly. I like that time with my little one before school," she said. "[Suri] has her favorites, like most kids," she added, admitting, "I don't really have any tactics to help [with picky eating]. I think like most parents you make the stuff you know that they like, and every once in a while you introduce something new."

On wanting to channel her own mom

"She's just so kind and has such a pure heart; she really leads with those two qualities, so I try to do the same," Holmes previously told PEOPLE of her mom.

"She's just so kind and very generous, so I try my best to embody that and pass that on to my own daughter," she added.

On providing Suri with a "stable, innocent childhood"

​Despite her many acting roles, Holmes has said that being a mother is the job she finds the most fulfilling.

"This business is so unstable, and you never really know where you're going to be … My child is the most important person to me, and her upbringing is paramount to my work right now," she said in Town & Country's April 2017 issue.

"It's very important that I'm present and she has a stable, innocent childhood. I feel so blessed to do what I do, but there's nothing in the world better than watching your child succeed," she added.

On the "heartbreaking" process of her watching her daughter grow up

"Every day, kids get a little further away from you. That's a positive thing. They should be becoming more independent, but it's heartbreaking," Holmes said in her interview with Town & Country . "You want them to stay with you forever, but they're these amazing beings, and you have to do everything you can to give them what they need — and then they're going to go. And that's going to be very, very sad for me."

On welcoming Suri in her 20s

The actress shared that she was "happy" to welcome Suri at age 27, telling Elle UK in November 2019 that their ages are "a good match."

"I was happy to become a mom in my twenties," she told the outlet. "It's been nice that our ages fit … how do I put this? Every age that my child has been and my age at that time has been a good match. We kind of grew up together."

On mother-daughter workouts

The mother-daughter duo have some fitness routines of their own, Holmes told Shape in December 2019. "Sometimes I work out with my daughter," she said. "It just depends on the day. We have our routines, and occasionally they overlap." She noted that she never pushes Suri to work out with her though, so as not to embarrass her.

"I don't force her to work out with me because I know that's lame," she said.

On nurturing Suri's "strong personality"

"I love her so much," the mom-of-one told InStyle for their April 2020 issue. "My biggest goal has always been to nurture her into her individuality, to make sure she is 100 percent herself and strong, confident and able. And to know it. She came out very strong — she's always been a strong personality."

Holmes added that Suri had outgrown her "girlie stage" and was putting her mind to a range of new tasks.

"She'll pick an activity and work her butt off until she's really good at it. Then she's like, 'Okay, I'm going to try the next thing,' " the actress said. "She's very focused and a hard worker."

On celebrating Suri's 14th birthday

In a July 2020 interview with Entertainment Tonight , Katie Holmes shared some details on the at-home celebrations she hosted for Suri's 14th birthday . The Secret: Dare to Dream star shared a few snaps of the low-key festivities on Instagram, which included crafts and a flower crown for the birthday girl.

"It was a beautiful moment," Holmes said of the socially distanced party. "This year is a reminder that the simple things are really beautiful. I think when you have less, you are more creative."

On how the pandemic shaped their relationship

In November 2020, Holmes wrote a piece for Vogue Australia's November issue about how the silver lining of the COVID-19 pandemic was spending more quality time with her daughter.

"Hobbies such as sewing, painting and writing became new hallmarks of satisfaction and having had time at home to just be. To listen," she wrote. "To live for a moment in time without the pressure of results and instead appreciate the natural rhythms of mother and daughter was the most precious gift."

On celebrating Mother's Day

The proud mom shared an adorable black-and-white throwback photo of herself kissing her little girl on the cheek to celebrate Mother's Day in 2021.

"I am so grateful to be a mom to the sweetest daughter. Happy Mother's Day to all of the moms!!!! 💕💕💕💕💕," Holmes wrote in the caption of her post.

On watching Dawson's Creek with her daughter

While chatting with Variety in March 2023, Holmes revealed that she and Suri watched Dawson's Creek together at the height of the pandemic.

" We had a good laugh about it . It's wild to have a daughter who's almost the same age as I was when I began all this," she told the outlet.

Suri Wants To Study Fashion, Not Acting

It's not surprising that Suri chose not to mention her famous father, Tom Cruise, who recently went public with his 36-year-old girlfriend , a famous Russian socialite. Tom has allegedly been estranged from Suri for nearly a decade , shortly after his divorce from Katie in 2012.

He didn’t challenge Katie’s request for full custody when he split, though Tom agreed to pay child support. One report from this year claims he’s been paying around $33,000 per month since then, though that’ll stop when Suri turns 18 soon.

However, that doesn’t mean Tom plans to cut Suri off financially when she’s a legal adult. The actor has reportedly agreed to pay for her college and medical expenses beyond her 18th birthday.

While it’s possible Suri could go on to study acting given her recent role (and her parents’ success in the industry), sources told Daily Mail in March that she was hoping to study fashion in New York, where she’s been living with her mom sine Holmes and Cruise divorced.

Confirming the teen has already sent out several applications, the insider revealed, “Suri is applying to schools all over the place. [Katie] really does want her to stay in New York so they can be close to each other. Katie takes great pride in her but is also extremely overprotective.”

Nonetheless, the Dawson’s Creek alum is “overwhelmed” at the thought of her only child attending college.

The same source confirmed Tom will continue financially supporting his daughter, though he has no say in where she attends college. “[He’ll cover] medical, dental, insurance, education, college and other extracurricular costs,” they explained.

“Tom has always maintained his responsibilities when it comes to financial obligations to Katie and Suri,” the source went on.

Tom may be hoping for a chance to repair his relationship with Suri now that she’s going to be a legal adult, one report claimed earlier this year, adding he’s eager to introduce her to his controversial religion Scientology (Cruise recently shot down rumors he’s distancing himself from the Church with a dramatic appearance at headquarters via a helicopter, very Mission: Impossible style).

Katie Holmes is celebrating her mini-me daughter Suri Cruise 's birthday with some rare pictures.

To celebrate her daughter turning 15 on Sunday, Holmes, who is famously private about the teen, posted three Instagram photos of Suri taken throughout the years. Homes shares the teen with ex-husband Tom Cruise , to whom she was married from 2006 to 2012.

In one of the pictures, Holmes cradles her look-alike daughter in arms. In another, Suri smiles for the camera while giving mom a big hug.

"Happy 15th Birthday Sweetheart! I love you!!!!!!!!" Holmes wrote in the caption. "I can’t believe you are already 15!"

Other stars gushed over the cute photos in the comments.

"Happy birthday," commented Viola Davis, adding a heart emoji.

"Happy happy 15th!!" wrote "Good Witch" star Bailee Madison. "Can’t believe she is 15 now. All my love to you both"

Though Holmes is known for keeping her daughter out of the spotlight, the "Dawson's Creek" star, 42, opened up about bonding with Suri during the coronavirus pandemic  in her November cover story for Vogue Australia .

"Hobbies such as sewing, painting and writing became new hallmarks of satisfaction and having had time at home to just be," she wrote. "To listen. To live for a moment in time without the pressure of results and instead appreciate the natural rhythms of mother and daughter was the most precious gift."

Tom Cruise Plays One Key Role In Estranged Daughter Suri's College Plans

Tom Cruise red carpet

It seems like Tom Cruise can do just about anything he sets his mind to. From flying planes to skydiving, the man seems unstoppable. However, there's one thing the "Top Gun: Maverick" actor struggles with, and that's keeping up a relationship with his daughter, Suri Cruise .

Suri is one of Tom's three children and is the only child from his marriage with actor Katie Holmes. In 2006, Holmes and Tom welcomed a young Suri into what seemed like a perfect little family as they shot the cover of Vanity Fair. Before their divorce, the father-daughter duo had a solid relationship and he even shared with Oprah that Suri would offer him fashion advice, per People. However, when Holmes and Cruise divorced  in 2012, things took a turn.

Since the divorce, Tom has rarely been seen with Suri, as their last public appearance was back in 2012. Even as the years have passed, it seems that the duo still struggles to have any sort of relationship. In 2019, a source told HollywoodLife , "As challenging as things have become for him and his daughter, he still loves her. Tom never intended to be estranged from his daughter when he decided to have a family with Katie, and he looks forward to repairing their relationship one day." That day still seems far away because even as Suri is nearing a momentous time in her life, Tom is only playing one key role in it.

Tom Cruise is reportedly paying Suri's college tuition

It's almost time for Suri Cruise to leave the nest and begin her college journey. According to the  Daily Mail , the 16-year-old has already started applying to different colleges. Her love for fashion never stopped since giving Tom Cruise style advice, because the young teen is considering fashion school. While they were close back then, the father-daughter duo is anything but now. A source shared, "Suri does not know her father anymore and she has not spent time with him in a decade. She does not go to see his movies, and he has no part in her life." Because of their estranged relationship, Tom reportedly has hardly any input in his daughter's college education. On the other hand, his ex-wife, Katie Holmes is heavily involved in the process, per The Daily Mail. A source shared, "Suri is applying to schools all over the place. [Katie] really does want her to stay in New York so they can be close to each other."

Despite his lack of involvement in Suri's college adventure, there's one thing Tom is said to play a key role in — finances. Per the Daily Mail, Tom and Holmes' divorce agreement requires the actor to pay for his daughter's college expenses. Although he hasn't been present in her life, the source shared that he has "always maintained his responsibilities" for his daughter's finances. So, Suri will definitely have no problem paying for whatever school she attends.

Tom and Suri Cruise barely know each other

The predominant rumor as to why Katie Holmes has retained almost full custody of Suri Cruise is due to her distrust of Tom Cruise's Scientology practice. During his divorce trial, Tom admitted that he suspected Holmes had left him and did her best to keep Suri from him because the religion made her uncomfortable. However, things are slightly more layered than that, as a rumored tenant of Scientology is that members are forbidden from associating with non-members. Tom is one of the highest-ranking members and would be under pressure to follow such rules. "This is his loss, his issue, his problem," a source told Page Six. "He must be really brainwashed."

Holmes reportedly did her best to keep Tom away from Suri, going as far as to file for divorce in New York rather than California as she thought that would give her a better chance of gaining full custody and getting Suri out of her Scientology-backed school in Los Angeles. Holmes allegedly developed a deep distrust of the church during her marriage to Tom, who is said to have become controlling and off-putting since converting. "To him, any partner is an extension of him — and his brand — so he's known to be very micromanaging," a source close to Tom told Radar .

Scientology may have stood in the way of his relationship with Holmes, and his daughter, Suri, but Tom has managed to remain extremely close to his older children.

Tom Cruise is still close with his other kids

Just like his relationship with Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise's marriage to his second wife, Nicole Kidman, left him in the early 2000s due to his ties to Scientology. It was widely reported at the time that Tom left Kidman after she allegedly refused to convert to Scientology for him. Kidman was labeled a "suppressive person" by the church, who reportedly urged Tom and the two children they share to cut her off.

As part of their divorce, Tom and Kidman agreed to share custody of their children, Isabella and Connor, but according to insiders, it was in name only, as the kids were devoted to Tom and his religion. As recently as 2022, they hyped his film "Top Gun: Maverick" on their social media. "Connor and Isabella grew up in the church of Scientology; they've been members since they were kids," a source told People in 2019. "Connor has been able to remain close with Tom because of Scientology." As for Isabella, she moved to London and has reportedly decided not to take any financial handouts from either of her parents — though she insists she is still close to them.

Kidman, on the other hand, insists she hasn't spoken to either Connor or Bella in years, though she still loves them from afar. "They are adults," Kidman told Who Magazine (via Daily Mail ). "They have made choices to be Scientologists and as a mother, it's my job to love them."

Inside Tom Cruise's Relationship With His Daughter Suri Now

Tom Cruise smiling

If you're a fan of going to the movies, odds are you've seen at least one Tom Cruise project. The "Mission: Impossible" star is absurdly famous around the world. As a result, many parts of his life have played out in very public ways on very public stages. 

Cruise is also a dad to three children. He shares his oldest, Isabella and Connor, with ex-wife Nicole Kidman , and his youngest, Suri , with ex-wife Katie Holmes. While it's clear that Cruise has a great relationship with Isabella and Connor, and both children are active members of his Scientology faith (per The U.S. Sun ), it's less clear what kind of relationship — if any — that he has with Suri. In fact, when Holmes and Cruise divorced, he affirmed that Holmes' desire to keep Suri out of the Scientology faith was a factor in their split (per HuffPost ).

The last public photos of Cruise and Suri date all the way back to 2012, when the two were snapped visiting Disneyland (per Yahoo! ). Here's a look into Tom Cruise's relationship with Suri and where it stands today.

Tom Cruise was so excited about Katie's pregnancy that he bought a sonogram machine

Like a lot of expectant parents, Tom Cruise was ecstatic about the impending arrival of his third child, Suri Cruise. In fact, he was so excited about Suri that he reportedly bought his own ultrasound machine so that he could see her every day. Cruise told Barbara Walters about the purchase, which can cost up to $200,000 (per  BBC News ). He seemed to understand that the purchase was on the lavish end, as he reassured people that the machine would be donated to a hospital after Katie Holmes gave birth.

However, not everyone thought the act was a great idea. In fact, the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine issued a statement condemning the act, noting that the buy bordered on abusing the equipment. President Lennard Greenbaum, MD, said, in part, that "Tom Cruise's recent purchase of an ultrasound machine for personal use at home is both inappropriate and in violation of FDA rules addressing the sale of medical equipment."

Tom Cruise described his daughter Suri's birth as 'spiritual'

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes welcomed Suri Cruise on April 18, 2006 . From all accounts, and especially from Cruise's, Suri's arrival into the world was fairly extraordinary. In fact, only a few days after her birth, Cruise described the experience to "20/20" and still seemed in awe of everything he witnessed (via ABC News ). He said, "It was everything that we wanted it to be. ... It was spiritual. It was powerful. It was indescribable."

Plenty of outlets shared news of Suri's birth, as public interest in the newborn was quite high. CBS News  noted that Suri weighed 7 pounds, 7 ounces, and clocked in at 20 inches long. A representative for Cruise and Holmes also shared information about her name, noting that Suri has Hebrew origins and can mean "princess," as well as Persian roots, which could give her name the meaning "red rose." 

Notably, Cruise and Holmes were also able to leave their home to head to the hospital in private, which was quite a feat considering the vast amount of attention they were receiving at the time.

Tom Cruise and Suri Cruise appeared to have a good relationship until 2012

In 2004, a then-engaged Katie Holmes admitted to Seventeen that she had once fantasized about marrying Tom Cruise (per HuffPost ). Fast-forward a few years, and Holmes found herself walking away from the very marriage she once said she wanted.

From all appearances, Tom Cruise and daughter Suri had a solid parent-child relationship up until 2012. That was the year that Katie Holmes filed for divorce in a move that apparently surprised Cruise. While speaking to German TV network ProSieben (via CBS News ), he admitted that he didn't see the divorce coming at all, saying, "I didn't expect it." He added, "Life is a tragicomedy. You need to have a sense of humor."

It seems that after he recovered from the shock of his wife of six years wanting a divorce, he bounced back pretty quickly. InStyle noted that the two were able to work through their divorce pretty quickly, with a settlement being reached after only 11 days. 

He admitted that Katie Holmes left him to 'protect' Suri from Scientology

While Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have been pretty quiet when it comes for the exact hows and whys of their divorce, when pushed, Cruise definitely let something slip: One of big reasons Holmes said she wanted a divorce was reportedly to "protect" their daughter, Suri, from Cruise's religion, Scientology . The admission came out during his deposition during a libel lawsuit he filed against a tabloid. When asked if Holmes felt she had to protect Suri by leaving the relationship, as reported by  HuffPost , he first replied that the question was "offensive" and that "there is no need to protect my daughter from my religion," before saying, "Did she say that? That was one of the assertions, yes."

On top of that, Cruise also admitted that Suri was no longer a practicing member of the religion (per TMZ ). While HuffPost asserts this means Suri has now been deemed a "suppressive person" in the eyes of the Church of Scientology, there have been no public statements made to that effect. Notably, "suppressive" people are often, if not always, "cut off" from those that are still active members of Scientology.

Tom Cruise was not awarded custody of Suri

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes hammered out the details of their divorce settlement in 11 days (per InStyle ), which is pretty remarkable. Surprisingly to many, Cruise was not awarded custody of the pair's daughter, Suri Cruise, at all, and instead walked away from the discussions with visitation rights only. In fact, Tom Cruise was told he can visit with Suri up to 10 days a month, according to Us Weekly .

Cruise also committed to a fairly hefty sum for child support, and TMZ reported that he pays over $33,000 a month for Suri's care. While that's noting to sniff at, it's a far cry from the sum a judge could have probably ordered him to pay if the divorce had gone to court, especially as his overall net worth is believed to be approximately $600 million (per Celebrity Net Worth ). Cruise is also in charge of covering any necessary expenses Suri might rack up, including medical and dental insurance, schooling, and college, and he also funds extracurricular activities (per TMZ).

It sounds like Tom Cruise doesn't always see Suri in person

Even though the custody agreement struck between Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes makes it clear that he can see their daughter, Suri Cruise, for 10 days a month, it seems like he hasn't been able to make that happen. On top of that, a source apparently close to the situation told Us Weekly that this seems to be a deliberate choice that Cruise is making. The source told the publication, "Every person is allowed to see their child if they wanted to. He chooses not to because she is not a Scientologist."

Outspoken critic of Scientology Tony Ortega spoke to Us Weekly about what might be going on behind closed doors, explaining that it's possible Holmes signed a document agreeing not to speak badly of the religion in order to get full custody. Ortega added that Holmes only had one objective: to take care of Suri. He said, "She wanted to get away and she wanted to get Suri."

In 2013, Tom Cruise admitted he hadn't seen Suri Cruise for 100 days

Things only got messier for Tom Cruise in the year after his divorce was finalized. In 2013, he admitted that he hadn't seen his youngest child for at least 100 days, explaining that his prolonged absence was due to his filming schedule. 

According to  People , Cruise said in a deposition hearing for her lawsuit again Bauer Publishing that it was "impossible" for him to see Suri during that time, and on top of that, he claimed that the then 7-year-old seemed just fine without him. After sharing that he's "very good" at talking to his daughter on the phone, Cruise added, "I also find that, you know, Suri is a very happy child, and confident, and has a good sense of herself."

He further explained that, though he missed Suri's first day of school, that was because his daughter didn't ask him to be there herself.

How long has it been since he's seen his daughter in person?

While Tom Cruise might have been able to explain why he didn't see Suri Cruise for 100 days, he then reportedly missed out on seeing his daughter in person for over 1,000 days. In 2016, In Touch Weekly reported that Cruise had not seen or exchanged words with Suri in over two and a half years. A source allegedly close to the situation told the publication that the pair had been using video chat and text messaging to stay in touch but that it had slowed down, before adding that Suri no longer really bought her father's explanations for why he was missing. The source said, "He uses his film commitments as an excuse, but the truth is that doesn't hold much weight with Suri anymore."

As in the past, some believe that Cruise's religion is the reason why he keeps missing out on his daughter's life. The same source told In Touch as much, noting, "He's disconnected from Katie, and then de facto from Suri, because of her connection to Katie. He hasn't seen her since she was 7."

A friend reportedly said Tom Cruise never meant to 'be estranged' from Suri

Despite Tom Cruise's reportedly prolonged period of estrangement from Suri, an alleged friend of his has stated that the actor never meant to be so far removed from his daughter. While speaking to Hollywood Life in 2019, the friend explained that, even though Cruise isn't with Suri on important days like her birthday, he's always planning for them. The friend said, "Tom does plan to send Suri a gift and call her on her birthday."

The friend added that Cruise has a lot of love for Suri, and that being this distant from his daughter wasn't something he anticipated when he and Katie Holmes welcomed Suri to the world. The friend explained, "Tom never intended to be estranged from his daughter when he decided to have a family with Katie and looks forward to repairing the relationship one day."

While it's unclear when Cruise will ever reconnect with his daughter, assuming the reports about their estrangement are true, one thing that is certainly true is that the path getting to this point has been long, winding, and, truth be told, quite confusing. Perhaps the two will grow closer when Suri is an adult.

Tom Cruise doesn't live in the same state as Suri

One factor that likely complicates the relationship between Tom Cruise and daughter Suri is that they don't live in the same state — or even the same country. While Suri lives in New York City with her mom, Katie Holmes, Cruise has reportedly been living in London, England, since April 2021 (per In Touch Weekly ).

A source told the publication that the city is a natural fit for Cruise, explaining that he especially enjoys the rainy weather and being able to walk around his new home. He is also reportedly fond of the city because of the anonymity it lends him. The source said, "If he wears a hat and mask, he can slip into bookstores or antique shops and no one knows it's him. He's got family living there, too, which gives him a sense of belonging."

As for Suri, she and her mom moved to New York following the divorce. Holmes admitted to InStyle in 2020 that the city isn't quite as private as she'd like, but she said that the city is just right for her and Suri. She shared, "What I love about New York is that for me and my child, this is our vibe."

Despite her young age, Cruise has experience in various areas of the entertainment industry. Over the past year, Cruise performed a cover of “ Blue Moon ” that was featured in the movie “ Alone Together ,” written, directed and starred by Holmes. “She’s very, very talented,” said Holmes.

Suri and Katie’s tight relationship

Katie has also discussed her daughter and the importance of motherhood on various occasions. "The most important thing for me is letting her know how proud I am and that her accomplishments mean everything,” she said on The Today Show . "Whatever I do is whatever. It's really just about her and that's what I think is most important."

Katie Holmes Told a Rare Personal Story About Suri Cruise. It Was Awkward.

She wasn't ready for her teen daughter to see her this way.

In a new interview with Variety , the actress opened up about her run in the off-Broadway play The Wanderers and her new film, Rare Objects . As she talked about trying to balance work with her everyday life, Holmes shared a personal anecdote about Suri, her daughter with ex-husband Tom Cruise , from during the COVID-19 pandemic. It turns out that Suri began watching the late '90s TV show that made her mom famous.

"[Suri] has seen Dawson’s Creek , and I think it’s probably weird since she’s a teenager," Holmes told Variety. "I’m not like, 'You need to watch mommy’s work.'"

The actress continued: "But during the pandemic, we had a good laugh about it. It’s wild to have a daughter who’s almost the same age as I was when I began all this."

'Dawson's Creek'

'Dawson's Creek'

Since Holmes often refrains from speaking about her daughter, people couldn't help but love this surprise detail about their relationship. Given how her character Joey Potter overcame a number of struggles and romances on Dawson's Creek , folks had a lot of thoughts about Suri's opinions on the hit drama.

"So awkward for Katie 😂😂 the fashion, the plots, I bet they had a good laugh!" one person wrote on Instagram . "I was obsessed with this show!!" another added. "That's absolutely precious ... I know my girl Suri is Team Pacey," a different follower noted on Twitter , referencing Joey's relationship with Pacey Witter (Joshua Jackson).

While Suri is gaining insight into how Holmes made it big in Hollywood, she's also assisting her mother on the projects she's working on now. She sang a cover of Frank Sinatra's " Blue Moon " for the Batman Begins actress's 2022 film Alone Together . According to Holmes, she didn't tap Suri for the part because of their familial bond but because of what she brought to the table.

"Well, I always want the highest level of talent, so I asked her," Holmes told Yahoo! Entertainment in July 2022. "She's very talented. She said she would do it and she recorded it, and I let her do her thing. That's the way I direct in general. It's like, 'This is what I think we all want and then go do your thing.'"

Suri wants to study fashion

Suri is applying to college with an interest in fashion . In March, the Daily Mail reported that she is “applying to schools all over the place.” But her mom Katie reportedly wants her to stay in New York so they can be close to each other. “Katie takes great pride in her but is also extremely overprotective,” the source said.

Tom Cruise is not a part of her life

It’s been rumored for years that the Top Gun star is no longer involved in Suri’s life because of his ties with Scientology. The Daily Mail reported in March he has been out of the picture since 2013, a year after his divorce from Katie. “Suri does not know her father anymore and she has not spent time with him in a decade,” said the insider. “She does not go to see his movies and he has no part in her life.” He does however provide economic support. TMZ previously reported that since the divorce, he would pay $400,000 a month in child support until Suri turned 18 years old.

She is a singer

Suri made her film singing debut covering “Blue Moon” in Katie’s film, Alone Together . She also sings on Rare Objects. Katie told Glamour, “I hope she always does something on my films. I always ask her.” “It comes out of love for me to include someone who I love dearly. That’s how I like to work. I like to have that kind of feeling. It was very meaningful to me to have her there because she’s my heart.”

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise's Daughter Suri, 17, Lands Leading Role in Her High School Play, Fan Says 'She Was Amazing'

Dec. 20 2023, Published 10:47 a.m. ET

Suri Cruise is following in her famous parents' footsteps.

The 17-year-old daughter of Katie Holmes and ex-husband Tom Cruise recently starred in her high school's play — and it appears she totally nailed the part.

Suri Cruise landed the starring role in her high school play.

Suri landed the leading role of Morticia Addams in her New York City school's production of The Addams Family: A New Musical , a news publication reported.

While some critics are quick to judge the teenager for potentially being handed the role because of her parents , the famous offspring stayed humble throughout post-production and didn't even acknowledge her mom or dad — the latter of whom she's reportedly been estranged from since Tom's 2012 split from Katie — in the show's playbill.

Suri Cruise has reportedly been estranged from her father, Tom Cruise, since his 2012 divorce from Katie Holmes.

Suri's bio didn't make a single reference to her parents while thanking teachers and her fellow students of the cast and crew, the news outlet confirmed.

Regardless of who her mother and father are, Suri still wowed the crowd , leaving the audience with impressed reactions.

"She was amazing," one attendee at the high school musical admitted to the news publication after watching the senior's performance.

While Suri might not be on good terms with Tom, she remains super close with her mom — who even featured her daughter's singing skills in two of her Hollywood projects.

Katie Holmes is raising her daughter, Suri Cruise, 17, in New York City.

In the opening credits of Katie's 2022 film Alone Together — which she directed, produced and starred in — Suri can be heard singing a cover of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart' s 1934 classic "Blue Moon."

At the time, Katie explained why she decided to stick with blood when choosing who she wanted to sing at the start of her film.

"I always want the highest level of talent, so I asked her! She’s very, very talented," the Dawson's Creek star, 45, admitted during an interview with Yahoo! Entertainment in August 2022.

Working together hasn't been a problem for the mother-daughter duo , either.

Katie Holmes welcomed her first and only daughter, Suri, in April 2006.

"She said she would do it and she recorded it, and I let her do her thing," Katie continued. "That’s the way I direct in general: It’s like, 'This is what I think we all want — go do your thing.'"

Suri's enchanting vocals were additionally used during Holmes' movie Rare Objects , a film she also directed, produced, wrote and starred in. (The production was filmed in fall 2021, though it wasn't released until 2023.)

Tom Cruise at the premiere of "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One" held at Rose Theater, at Jazz at Lincoln Center's Frederick P. Rose Hall on July 10, 2023 in New York, New York.

While the Mission Impossible star will have literally no say in the college she chooses, it does seem like he may up footing the bill.

MEXICO CITY, MEXICO - MAY 06: Tom Cruise attends the Mexico Premiere of "Top Gun: Maverick" at on May 06, 2022 in Mexico City.

Now, here’s the thing: Holmes receives this monthly payment until Suri turns 18. Her 18th birthday will be on April 18 next year. So multiple possibilities can happen: either Holmes saved up over the years and they won’t have to worry about tuition, they could pay it in full if that option is available, or the first year will be covered. Another option is that since Cruise has to pay for college, the payments may be extended until after she graduates.

Holmes welcomed Suri, now 17 years old, on April 18, 2006, with her ex-husband Cruise .

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise’s daughter, Suri Cruise, was seen going on a walk by herself in New York City on Monday.

Suri was photographed looking down at her phone while giving a soft smile as she confidently went on the solo stroll.

The 17-year-old held her phone with both of her hands but also managed to grip onto a bag of Trader Joe’s milk chocolate covered peanut butter pretzels.

Suri showed off her fashionista side in a white midi dress with pink flowers all over, criss-crossed black tights and a long denim jacket with a white fuzzy collar.

She accessorized her look with black sneakers and a black messenger bag that she slung around her shoulder and laid on her side.

The “Dawson’s Creek” alum’s mini-me daughter loosely pulled back her brown locks but let a few pieces of her curtain bangs free to frame her face.

Suri has been spotted walking out and about the Big Apple several times , but she’s rarely been photographed without her mom.

Most recently, Katie, 45, and Suri –– who have a remarkably similar resemblance –– stepped out together for a stroll through Soho last month.

Suri has grown up in the spotlight, but she’s also been finding her own path.

Suri reportedly didn’t mention either of her parent’s names in the bio for her role.

The high school senior has always appeared close with her mother, but she’s reportedly been estranged from her father , 61, since their divorce in 2012.

Tom Cruise smiling

The “Top Gun” actor and the “Batman Begins” actress got married in 2006, but Holmes filed for divorce in 2012 and got custody of their daughter.

Cruise was most recently romantically linked to British socialite Elsina Khayrova , but a source told Page Six that he “cooled things down” a few weeks ago.

Meanwhile, Holmes appears to be single since splitting with Bobby Wooten III after eight months of dating in December 2022.
