Inside Tom Cruise's Relationship With His Daughter Suri Now

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."

Why Tom Cruise 'Chooses Not To See' His Daughter 11 Years After Their Last Sighting Together

She has been deemed a "suppressive person.".

• Alice Kelly

Last updated on Mar 04, 2023

Tom Cruise’s relationship with his daughter, Suri Cruise, is a topic that has long-bewildered fans of the actor.

In the 2000s, Cruise and Katie Holmes were regularly blasted across tabloids with their daughter. But, following their divorce in 2012, Cruise’s public appearances with Suri were rare.

Here are all the details on Tom Cruise and Suri Cruise's relationship now.

Does Tom Cruise see Suri?

Rumors have circulated that Cruise's role in the Church of Scientology has complicated his relationship with his youngest child.

Tom Cruise has not been seen publicly with Suri since 2012 and is reportedly estranged from his daughter.

According to Us Weekly, it has been 11 years since the "Top Gun" star was seen publicly with Suri, who is now 16 — almost 17 — years old.

It is unclear whether he has seen or spoken to her behind closed doors but Page Six claims the star has not seen Suri since she was 7.

“If he wanted to see her, he could see her,” one source told Page Six . “Even people in prison have a right to see their children.”

Katie Holmes has custody of Suri but Cruise was given visitation rights.

The “Mission Impossible” actor and the “Dawson’s Creek” alum settled proceedings just 11 days after Holmes filed for divorce. Holmes was granted custody of their daughter.

Cruise was given visitation rights of 10 days per month but sources claim he opts not to see her.

“He chooses not to because she is not a Scientologist,” claimed an Us Weekly source in 2018.   Cruise reportedly pays over $33,000 per month in child support for Suri.

“He still loves her,” a source told Hollywood Life in 2019.

“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.”

Katie Holmes allegedly took Suri away from Tom Cruise to save her from Scientology.

Cruise is a member of the controversial Church of Scientology, a religious group often accused of being both a dangerous cult and a manipulative profit-making business.

Holmes also studied Scientology during their marriage but reportedly left Cruise to avoid becoming further entrenched in the group.

The actress now lives primarily in New York City with Suri, a relocation that may have helped her get her daughter out of the church.

In a 2013 libel suit against Bauer Media, whose magazines claimed he abandoned his daughter Suri Cruise, Cruise labeled the suggestion that Holmes divorced him "in part to protect Suri from Scientology" as “offensive.”

However, when asked if his ex-wife ever indicated that she left because of the religion or because she wanted to protect their daughter from Scientology, Cruise responded:

"Did she say that? That was one of the assertions, yes."

This likely means that Suri and Holmes have both been deemed a “Suppressive Person” by the church — a term Scientologists use to describe people who impede the progress of individual Scientologists or the Scientology movement.

Sources say that anyone who leaves the church is cut off from all members of the church, including their immediate family.

It is suspected that Holmes has been banned from speaking about Scientology.

The actress has never publicly spoken about her ex-husband’s religion nor why she left the church and critics of the group have suggested that she might be legally restricted from doing so.

Tony Ortega, former editor-in-chief of The Village Voice and a critic of Scientology, told Us Weekly that Holmes probably signed “some nondisclosure agreement saying she wouldn’t say anything bad about Scientology.”

“She wanted to get away and she wanted to get Suri,” Ortega explains.

He also suggested that she has been advised not to associate with Leah Remini, a fellow actress who has been outspoken about leaving the church.

“I’m sure her father, who’s a smart attorney, has probably told her that hanging out with Leah would be considered disparaging the church in the eyes of Tom and the church,” Ortega says.

Tom Cruise appears to have a relationship with the children he shares with Nicole Kidman.

Cruise also shares two adult children, Connor and Isabella, with ex-wife Nicole Kidman and, by all accounts, seems close with them. 

Both children, who were adopted by the former couple, recently promoted their father’s new movie, “Top Gun: Maverick” on their social media platforms.

Connor and Isabella are active members of the Church Of Scientology.

“They are adults," Kidman said about their faith in 2018. "They are able to make their own decisions. They have made choices to be Scientologists and as a mother, it’s my job to love them."

"I hope she always does something on my films," Holmes remarked. "I always ask her. But both of those experiences came out of the same sense of what I love about our industry, which is, you have these projects and you become a family with people."

"That's how I like to work. I like to have that kind of feeling," she explained. "It was very meaningful to me to have her there, because she's my heart."

After being followed by the paparazzi in the early aughts, Holmes and Cruise found solace in their privacy during the pandemic.

"To live for a moment in time without the pressure of results," Holmes recalled in a Nov. 2020 essay for Vogue Australia , "and instead appreciate the natural rhythms of mother and daughter was the most precious gift."

For Holmes, hobbies like sewing, painting and writing "became new hallmarks of satisfaction" in the household.

"During this time of uncertainty, remembering to be creative and positive has been something I have tried to keep at the forefront of my mind," she wrote in a Vogue Australia essay. "Throughout this experience the through-line for me has been a heightened awareness of each moment and really taking it in and appreciating it."

"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.

Does Tom Cruise See Suri? Katie Holmes Wants to ‘Protect’ Her From Scientology

It was one of the most high-profile celebrity relationships—and subsequent divorces—in recent memory, made all the more sensational thanks to his ties with the controversial Church of Scientology. Does Tom Cruise see Suri is a valid question, though the answer is complicated and will depend on who you ask.  

Does Tom Cruise see Suri?

It would appear Tom Cruise doesn’t see Suri all that often. Ever since Holmes and Cruise’s divorce, the  Jerry Maguire  star has rarely been spotted with his daughter. Holmes has full custody of Suri and lives with her in New York City today. The last known photos of Suri and her dad are from nearly a decade ago in 2012 when the pair visited Disneyland together.

A source who spoke to Hollywood Life in April 2019 revealed that despite their estranged relationship, Tom “still loves” Suri. “As challenging as things have become for him and his daughter, he still loves her,” the insider revealed at the time. “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.”

Famous former Scientologist, King of Queens star Leah Remini claimed Cruise was waiting until Suri was older to “indoctrinate” her into Scientology. “Scientology considers Katie a suppressive person which is an enemy and therefore Tom believes, like all Scientologists, that he can’t be connected to Suri,” Remini told The Post in 2020. “I’m sure his master plan is to wait until Suri gets older so that he can lure her into Scientology and away from her mother.”

During his deposition , Cruise responded to the insinuation: “Listen, I find that question offensive,” he said. “I find it—those statements offensive. And like with any relationship, there are many different levels to it. You know, I—I find it very offensive. There is no need to protect my daughter from my religion.” The attorney pushed further, asking, “And Ms. Holmes has never indicated in any way that was one of the reasons she left you? … To protect Suri from Scientology?” He says, “Did she say that? That was one of the assertions, yes.”

While Holmes and Suri have distanced themselves from Scientology, Connor and Bella Cruise are in the thick of it.

Isabella “Bella” Cruise is Cruise’s eldest child. She was adopted by Cruise and his then-wife Nicole Kidman during their marriage, which lasted for a decade until 2001. Like her dad, Bella is a notoriously private person. What we do know about her is that she’s currently based in London, where she works as an artist and owns her own company. Bella is also married to Max Parker, an IT consultant.

When Bella got married in 2015, there was some speculation that she was estranged from her mother and father because neither attended the wedding. The artist has since shut down those claims, telling the  Daily Mail  in 2016, “Of course [we talk], they’re my parents. Anyone who says otherwise is full of shit.”

While his half-sister Suri may not have a strong relationship with their dad, Connor does seem to be close with the  Mission Impossible  actor. Both he and his adoptive sister Bella were raised in the Church of Scientology with their father and have been spotted spending time with the actor on multiple occasions now that they’re all grown up. Most recently, Cruise took his son out to a ball game in San Francisco in October 2021, where the pair were spotted by fans on the jumbotron.

Tom Cruise Can See Daughter Suri 10 Days a Month — But Hasn’t Seen Her in Years (Exclusive)

Tom Cruise can see his daughter Suri up to 10 days a month, but chooses not to, a source tells Us Weekly exclusively.

“Every person is allowed to see their child if they wanted to,” the source tells Us , revealing custody of the 12-year-old is outlined in his divorce agreement with Katie Holmes . “He chooses not to because she is not a Scientologist.”

Cruise, 56, and Holmes, 39, who wed in 2006, split in 2012. The Dawson’s Creek alum blindsided the actor by filing for divorce, a source reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly , noting Cruise hasn’t been photographed with Suri since 2013.

Tony Ortega , former editor in chief of The Village Voice and a critic of Scientology, adds that Holmes probably signed “some nondisclosure agreement saying she wouldn’t say anything bad about Scientology” to ensure she had primary custody of their daughter. “She wanted to get away and she wanted to get Suri,” Ortega explains.

The author also notes that Holmes was likely advised not to keep in touch with former friend and former Scientologist Leah Remini after her divorce from Cruise.

“I’m sure her father, who’s a smart attorney, has probably told her that hanging out with Leah would be considered disparaging the church in the eyes of Tom and the church,” Ortega tells Us . “We were all hoping that eventually Katie would say more and that we’d see them together, but Leah has gone on to become this real lightning rod for exposing Scientology’s abuses, and I think Katie just wants to keep the life she has right now with Suri and not get in a big fight with the church.”

Remini, who publicly left the church in 2013, recently claimed Holmes is not “allowed to have a meal” with her because she could “lose custody of Suri.”

“We used to be close friends,” the former King of Queens star, who stars and produces A&E’s Scientology and the Aftermath, told LaPalme magazine last month. “It’s quite sick, really.”

The Church of Scientology’s spokesperson Karin Pouw denied Remini’s claims in a statement to Us Weekly: “Ms. Remini’s ridiculous rants are unending and the myths and tales she and her coproducer spread are grown more bizarre by the day,” the statement read in part. “They hire producers to rehash tired, preposterous myths invented and spread by the same handful of former Scientologists motivated by greed and anger.”

Suri Cruise is about to become the newest Tartan.

The 18-year-old daughter of exes Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes will be attending Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pa., come the fall.

Suri revealed the news via a TikTok posted by a fellow student at New York City’s LaGuardia High School, which was captioned, “LaG commitment day 👋.”

The video, which was set to the tune of Abbi Sutphen’s “Always Remember You,” showed about a dozen students sporting sweatshirts emblazoned with their soon-to-be college names.

When the camera panned to Suri, she was wearing a red hoodie that had the words “Carnegie Mellon” written in white across the chest.

The teen used her hands to show off the school’s name as she smiled and made silly faces for the camera.

She also did a cute dance alongside her friend.

Suri — who celebrated her milestone birthday in April — paired the telling top with denim jeans, and she carried a navy blue backpack.

According to the Daily Mail , she is “leaning towards” studying fashion.

Holmes, 45, reportedly helped her daughter with her “host” of applications; however, Suri “has always been determined to forge her own way.”

“She is a smart girl, and she is turning into a very intelligent mature young woman. She has a very close group of loyal friends, and she knows exactly where she comes from,” a source told the outlet.

The source added that although Holmes is proud of her only child, the actress is “overwhelmed” by the thought of sending her little girl off.

“Katie takes great pride in her but is also extremely overprotective,” the source said.

The “Dawson’s Creek” star told Glamour last year that she has worked hard to “protect” Suri  from the spotlight “because she was so visible at a young age.”

Holmes went on to call the teen “an incredible person.”

While the mother-daughter duo are extremely close , Suri has no relationship with Tom , 61.

As Page Six exclusively reported, the actor has not seen his youngest child since 2012.

In 2013, Tom — the most famous member of the Church of Scientology — admitted that Holmes had filed for divorce after almost six years of marriage “to protect Suri from Scientology.”

Regular members who leave the organization are declared “suppressive persons,” and those who stay are told to completely cut them off.

'Top Gun: Maverick' Star Tom Cruise Allegedly Does "Not Have a Part" in Daughter Suri's Life

Mar. 22 2023, Updated 2:03 p.m. ET

Today, it isn't unusual in Hollywood for celebrity stars to get divorced. Although divorce used to be a very taboo thing, public perception has shifted significantly over the past several decades. Now, it's more surprising to hear of celebrities who have been married for any length of time — especially after they have children.

Famous couples have been learning how to co-parent after divorce for many, many years, but not all seem to have solid relationships. Does Tom Cruise ( Top Gun: Maverick ) see Suri, his youngest daughter? New details involving Tom's messy 2012 split from Katie Holmes ( Dawson's Creek ) have been revealed.

Does Tom Cruise see his daughter Suri?

According to Us Weekly , Tom hadn't seen his daughter in several years. The publication reports the two were last photographed together in 2013 (the same year Tom sued In Touch for $50 million after the publication reported that he "abandoned" his daughter), which was only one year after his ex-wife and mother of Suri, Katie Holmes, filed for divorce. The lack of sightings likely has to do with Tom's controversial religion, Scientology. However, he previously denied Scientology's role in the estrangement.

"Samantha Domingo, the former follower who left the organization in 2004, told Us that the sighting was likely just for appearances," the publication said. According to Samantha, Tom doesn't have a relationship with her because he's "not allowed," as his daughter is no longer in Scientology.

Because of this, the church doesn't view Suri as Tom's daughter, but rather a "spiritual being in Tom's daughter's body."

“Maybe he did it for a photo op,” Samantha told the publication, “to make it seem like he was connected so he wouldn’t be criticized.”

However, when Katie filed for divorce from Tom after seven years, the two reached a very quick settlement and their divorce was finalized only 11 days after it was filed. With their divorce, Katie received primary custody of their daughter, Suri, who was 6 years old at the time, and Tom was granted visitation rights.

Suri — who lives in New York with her mom — is Tom's third child. His older two children are from his second marriage with Nicole Kidman ( Big Little Lies ). The two actors adopted children while they were married and are now parents to 28-year-old son Connor and 30-year-old daughter Isabella Jane.

Reports indicate Tom still has relationships with both Connor and Isabella (who allegedly remained in Scientology) following his 2001 divorce from Nicole.

Suri Cruise hopes to attend fashion school in New York City.

In 2023, Suri — who's about to turn 17 — reportedly started the college application process. She's "leaning towards" studying fashion (and possibly music) in the Big Apple. With a wardrobe reportedly worth $5 million, Suri's passion for fashion is unmatched.

"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," a source close to Katie told Daily Mail .

While "overwhelmed" mom Katie is assisting her daughter with the daunting application process, Tom's absence continues.

The insider specifically stated that the Jerry Maguire star does "not have a part in [Suri's] life." That being said, he will be paying for Suri's college tuition.

Divorce documents state that Tom agreed to pay $400,000 a year in child support, covering Suri's "medical, dental, insurance, education, college, and other extracurricular costs."

Though Tom seemingly doesn't provide emotional support of any kind, the source admitted his financial dedication to Suri is stellar.

"Tom has always maintained his responsibilities when it comes to financial obligations to Katie and Suri," the insider detailed.

Suri's relationship with her father may have fizzled, but supermom Katie provides more than enough love.

"Being raised by a single mom in New York has made Suri who she is. Katie has always put Suri first and Suri loves her mom more than anything," the insider said. "She is a smart girl, and she is turning into a very intelligent mature woman. She has a very close group of loyal friends, and she knows exactly where she comes from."

Here's hoping Suri's college experience is fulfilling and drama-free.

Tom Cruise Gives Clear Sign Daughter Suri's 18th Birthday Isn't On His Radar

As old as it makes us feel, Suri Cruise is an adult now. On April 18, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' daughter celebrated her 18th birthday. As Holmes has worked to protect Suri's privacy as much as possible, we shouldn't expect to learn many details about her big day. But we have good reasons to believe Tom won't be a part of it. The "Mission: Impossible" star won't even be in the country when she blows out her candles. As sad as it is, it's also unsurprising.

Tom is said to be estranged from Suri , with reports claiming he hasn't seen his youngest child in more than a decade. The last time the two were photographed together was in 2013, two years after Tom and Holmes' messy divorce . Suri was just 7. Even though he wasn't seeing her, Tom reportedly still talked to Suri frequently in the first years post-split. "They used to Skype and text, but that trailed off drastically," a source told InTouch in 2016. 

While Tom often blames the estrangement on his busy schedule, the insider said the issues go deeper. "He uses his film commitments as an excuse, but the truth is that [he] doesn't hold much weight with Suri anymore." Tom still has obligations with Suri, though. As she gets ready to reportedly study fashion, Tom will likely be the one paying for her college , as established by his divorce settlement. But, as the document says nothing about birthdays, he has consistently been skipping those.

Tom Cruise was in London ahead of Suri's birthday

On April 17, Tom Cruise was all smiles while walking the streets of London (seen above), suggesting Suri Cruise's milestone birthday wasn't on his mind. Tom is in the U.K. capital filming the eighth "Mission: Impossible" movie and is expected to be there all week, according to the Daily Mail . The timeline indicates he won't be flying to New York to celebrate with his daughter. But Suri seemed to be having a great time regardless of her father's absence. 

On the eve of her birthday, she was spotted strolling through New York with friends while carrying gifts, Hello! reported. Suri may have made her peace with the fact Tom won't be there, but that reportedly wasn't always the case. In earlier years, Suri still held hope he would come around. "Like any little girl, her greatest wish is for her father to be there, and now she's been disappointed again," a source told Star when she turned 12 in 2018 (via YourTango ).

However, other sources have said Tom talks to Suri on her birthdays. "Suri gets a gift from Tom on her birthday every year and this year was no exception," an insider told HollywoodLife  in 2018. The following year, he intended to do the same, a source told HollywoodLife . It's unclear whether he did or didn't, but Tom reportedly struggles with the estrangement. "As challenging as things have become for him and his daughter, he still loves her," the insider said.

Does Tom Cruise See His Daughter Suri Cruise? The Two Have Reportedly Not Been in Touch for Years

The reported rift between Tom Cruise and his daughter, Suri Cruise, began soon after his divorce from her mother, Katie Holmes, in 2012. Although Tom and Suri communicated over the short period that followed, the pair allegedly became more and more estranged.

Suri Cruise took her first breath on April 19, 2006, several months before her parents, actors Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, tied the knot. She was a healthy baby who weighed seven pounds and seven ounces and measured 20 inches in height.

During an interview, her dad gushed about her birth, saying it was everything he and Katie wanted it to be. The experience was etched in Tom's mind as he said he kept "reliving" it; the Scientologist felt it was "spiritual" and "powerful."

While Katie still carried the youngster, Tom had even acquired an ultrasound machine to use until after Suri's birth , though many medical experts advised against the purchase. He was committed to being part of Suri's life in her early years, but that changed after he lost her custody to Katie.

Suri Cruise Is a Budding New York Fashionista

The 16-year-old currently lives with her mom in New York City. The pair are often seen traveling together in the city, and it's clear Suri has adopted the actress's sense of style . In September of last year, they were spotted wearing coordinated outfits as they prepared to go out of town.

Suri wore distressed denim shorts, a white top, and white sneakers, while Katie donned a red-and-white striped shirt with a denim button-up chambray skirt and matching red ballet flats. In December 2022, the two enjoyed dinner at Los Tacos No.1.

They donned coordinated outfits once more. Suri's mom sported an oversized fleece coat with black trousers and trainers, while she wore a similar-colored padded jacket with a fluffy black scarf wrapped around her neck, black joggers, and white sneakers.

Suri wore the padded jacket again, paired with brown trousers with large white stripes at the sides, a few days after last Christmas, as she and her mother were photographed at Newark Airport . The pair also exercises together now and then, with occasionally overlapping routines.

Tom Cruise and Suri Are Reportedly Not in Touch with Each Other​ ​​​​​​

Suri was six years old when her mom filed for divorce from her dad. Although her parents didn't immediately divulge the reasons for their separation, many media outlets suggested Katie was trying to protect Suri from Scientology, despite having previously adopted the religion herself.

Tom – also previously married to Nicole Kidman with two children – eventually admitted that that was the case. Suri never joined Scientology, and many believed it was the main reason Tom stayed out of her life. However, sources close to the action star said he never wished for his family to fall apart.

He only received visitation rights – with sources claiming Katie only gained full custody after agreeing to be contractually bound from speaking ill of the Scientology church – which allowed him to see his daughter for up to 10 days a month.

Tom reportedly remained in touch with Suri through text messages and video calls but never visited her; he last saw her when she was seven. According to a source close to the predicament, his excuses for his absence were tight film schedules.

However, those excuses started carrying less weight with Suri, which affected their relationship. It's unknown if they're still in contact with each other at this point. They live far apart, too, with Suri in New York and Tom living in London, England, as of April 2021.

Although her relationship with her dad is strained, Suri's relationship with Katie – who now has a new partner – is solid and loving. The mom of one occasionally gushes about her daughter on her socials with birthday and Mother's Day tributes.

The "Batman Begins" star spoke candidly about how she chose to raise Suri, saying she wanted her to grow up strong, confident, and aware of her abilities and individuality. She said Suri already displayed those characteristics as a focused, talented, and hardworking individual.

The youngster is thought to be spending her big day with mum Katie Holmes at their stateside home. She's lived a separate life away from her dad for more than a decade – even so, he appears to be busy filming in London.

Tom's shooting scenes for the upcoming Mission Impossible movie and was snapped only yesterday recording an action-packed moment involving a helicopter. It doesn't look likely that he'll fly out to America to join his daughter's milestone birthday.

It comes after recent reports that Tom has "nothing" to do with Suri's life entirely. Katie and Tom's daughter is thought to have already been applying to colleges but without the help of her dad due to their lack of relationship. Suri has been thinking about her future which could include going to a fashion college in New York.

Katie is thought to be heavily involved in the application process as she helps her daughter to take the next step in her life. "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," a source told MailOnline.

Despite this, Tom will pay his daughter's tuition costs per his divorce agreement. According to their divorce documents, Tom agreed to pay Katie $400,000 a month until Suri turned 18 years old. Tom also agreed to pay all of Suri's expenses, including "medical, dental, insurance, education, college and other extracurricular costs".

It's possible that Suri could go on to study fashion in New York and is apparently "leaning towards" studying at Fordham University. "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," the insider shared.

Katie reportedly 'shielded' their 17-year-old's life from the spotlight, as well as her ex-husband's beliefs. The two tied the knot in Italy back in 2006 in a Scientologist ceremony, but as the years went on, Katie began feeling 'intimidated' by the church.

According to reports, Katie didn't want to raise Suri as a Scientologist after seeing Tom's first wife Nicole Kidman "become distant" with their kids, per MailOnline in 2016. Katie fumed when members of the Church of Scientology moved into the ex-couple's home.

Ron Miscavige, the father of Scientology leader David, told the outlet there is a "toxic" policy of "disconnection" operating within the church. Speaking to MailOnline five years before he died in 2016, he said: "That didn't sit so well with Katie."

Entertainment | el camino real closed as police investigate suspicious package, entertainment, entertainment | like brad pitt’s kids, tom cruise’s suri may have dropped dad’s last name, report says, one-time co-stars brad pitt and tom cruise share an unfortunate bond: both are reportedly dealing with being estranged from once beloved children.

Before news broke in the past week that two of Brad Pitt’s daughters have stopped using his surname, a report said that Tom Cruise’s daughter, Suri, didn’t want to use her mega-star dad’s last name when performing recently in a stage musical.

After Suri celebrated her milestone 18th birthday in April, she is about to graduate from La Guardia High School in New York City, and hinted in a classmates TikTok video that she’s headed to Carnegie Mellon University in the fall. She also made the subtle yet noticeable choice to only be identified as Suri Noelle for a performance of the stage musical “Head Over Heels,” according to a report from Hello magazine.

It’s not clear if the show was presented at Suri’s public high school, which specializes in teaching performing and visual arts, or at a theater in New York City. Suri lives in Manhattan with her mother, Katie Holmes, Cruise’s ex-wife. Hello magazine said Suri starred as Philoclea in the juke-box musical, which features music from the Go-Go’s.

For the show’s program, Suri used Holmes’ middle name, Noelle, as her last name in the show’s credits, Hello reported.

It’s long been reported that Suri has been estranged from her mega-star father, since around the time her mother surprised Cruise in 2012 by reportedly “blindsiding” him and asking for a divorce. Following Cruise and Holmes’ high-profile breakup, there were reports that the “Dawson’s Creek” star left the marriage so that she could protect her daughter from being raised in the cult-like Church of Scientology, of which the “Top Gun” star is a prominent member.

Since then, Suri has grown up under the care of her mother in New York, with the two sharing a close mother-daughter bond, Newsweek reported . There have been questions about whether Suri’s reported estrangement from the Jerry Maguire actor is due to Scientology.

According to its website , church recommends that members stay away from people labeled “suppressive persons,” or SPs, because they are considered “anti-social” personalities who seek to upset and undermines a members’ adherence to Scientology.

It’s been reported that Holmes secured sole custody of Suri in the divorce, while Cruise retained “meaningful” visitation rights. Yet, public sightings of Cruise with his daughter dwindled soon after the divorce, with Page Six saying they were last seen together at Disney World in the summer of 2012.

As Suri has come of age, she has shown an interest in the performing arts, attending La Guardia High School, which is officially known as the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts. Her actor-director mother also told Glamour last year that she had asked her daughter to sing the opening credits of her 2022 film, “Alone Together.” Suri’s next destination is Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which is known for having one of the top-ranked undergraduate drama programs in the county.

The Hello report didn’t say whether Suri was using the name “Suri Noelle” just for the musical, or if it signals a more permanent shift in how she identifies herself and in how she may want to relate to her father.

Of course, Cruise wouldn’t be the only top male star right now who’s had a once beloved child reject her association with him, if that’s what Suri intends to do.  The same thing happened to Cruise’s one-time co-star Pitt, who may be estranged from all six of his children with Angelina Jolie.

Pitt, who co-starred with Cruise in the 1994 gothic thriller, “Interview with the Vampire,” has been reminded of this “loss” in recent weeks, a source told People, after he and the rest of the world learned that his 18-year-old daughter Shiloh had dropped “Pitt” from her last name.

There have been news reports over the past several years that indicated that Pitt had probably become estranged from his older adopted children — Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, and Zahara, 19 — amid his contentious and protracted divorce from Jolie. But it’s become apparent in the past week that Pitt may no longer have relationships with his three biological children, Shiloh and 15-year-old twins, Vivienne and Knox.

Last week, Shiloh celebrated her 18th birthday by hiring a lawyer to help her petition the court to legally drop “Pitt” from her surname and to henceforth be known as “Shiloh Jolie,” not “Shiloh Jolie-Pitt,” People and other news outlets reported. People also reported last week that Vivienne had dropped “Pitt” in her Playbill credit for the new musical “The Outsiders,” which her mother produced.

The news about Shiloh hiring an attorney to officially distance herself from Pitt has proved to be especially painful for the “Fight Club” star, according to the People source.

“He’s aware and upset that Shiloh dropped his last name. He’s never felt more joy than when she was born. He always wanted a daughter,” the source said.

“The reminders that he’s lost his children, is of course not easy for Brad,” a source told People Monday. “He loves his children and misses them. It’s very sad.”

People magazine reported that Shiloh’s decision to drop Pitt’s last name was in part motivated by Jolie’s allegations related to her father’s “abuse history.”

The storied Hollywood super couple union between Pitt and Jolie came crashing down in September 2016 when Jolie filed for divorce and reports began circulating that the split was prompted by an altercation involving the couple on a private plane ride from the South of France to Los Angeles.

Several of the actors’ children also reportedly were involved in the incident, according to a subsequent FBI report. Since then, Jolie has accused the “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” actor of being physically abusive on the plane ride and during their two-year marriage and 12-year relationship. Pitt has long denied the abuse allegations and his representatives have pointed out that he was never charged with a crime. Sources close to Pitt also have accused Jolie of working to turn their children against them.

Meanwhile, before Shiloh and Vivienne dropped “Pitt” from their full names, legally or otherwise, their older sister Zahara made a similar move. Zahara was seen in a video shared by Essence magazine, calling herself Zahara Marley Jolie at a 2023 event at Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority at Spelman College.

Despite being, arguably, the biggest movie star, Tom Cruise is  a dad first . Several months back, the Mission: Impossible star was seen posing for a rare photo with his two eldest kids: son Connor, 29, and daughter Bella, 31. The three were spotted while attending a hockey game in December.

In his first public outing with his adult children in almost 15 years, Cruise, 61, and his kids took in a Tampa Bay Lightning game, cheering on the team as they faced off against the Florida Panthers. In addition to the A-list dad and his kids, former NFL player Derrick Brooks also appears in the photo. Click here to check it out at E! News .

Notably, Connor keeps his online presence to a minimum, with most of what he shares being images he snaps from his many adventures around the world. Many of which appear to involve  deep-sea fishing . Connor also has a separate Instagram page titled  Connor's Meatshack , where he shares photos of "wagyu, brisket, burgers, chicken, and ribs on chars, flats and smokers." As for Bella, her online presence is mainly reserved for her art .

Connor and Bella are the adopted children of Cruise and Nicole Kidman . The couple married in 1990, and were together for more than a decade, eventually divorcing in 2001. Cruise had previously been married to actress Mimi Rogers (1987-1990), and after divorcing Kidman he went on to date Penelope Cruz for a few years.

After her divorce from Cruise, Kidman secretly dated Lenny Kravitz, whom she revealed years later she'd been engaged to. She eventually began dating fellow Australian, and country music superstar, Keith Urban. The pair married in 2006 and  share two daughters : Sunday Rose (born in 2008) and Faith Margaret (born in 2010).
