The Best Photos of Kate Middleton and Prince William at the Top Gun: Maverick Premiere
The Cambridges stepped out in glamorous black and white outfits to see Tom Cruise's newest film.
But it won't be the first time the Cambridges see the film. In April 2022, star Tom Cruise apparently hosted a special screening at an IMAX cinema near London’s Leicester Square for Prince William, Kate Middleton, Sophie Wessex, Princess Eugenie, and Princess Beatrice.
The Cambridges are no strangers to red carpet events. Prince William has been the president of the BAFTAs since 2010, a role he took over from his grandfather Prince Philip, and in that capacity, he has attended numerous film premieres over the years. Most recently, the Cambridges attended the world premiere of No Time to Die , the newest James Bond movie and the last starring Daniel Craig, in September 2021.
Prince William and Kate Middleton on the carpet for Top Gun: Maverick will surely be a glamorous premiere to remember. Scroll through all the best photos:

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended the event in London, England, on Thursday, and were joined on the red carpet by Tom Cruise.

That's when Cruise stepped in and held the royal's hand for support, as seen in photos taken on the red carpet.
The British royals and Cruise appeared to have a conversation during their walk, but it was Middleton who stole the show at the event.
She stood out on the red carpet thanks to her gown — which was black with a white, off-the-shoulder neckline — as well as her accessories.
The duchess wore star-shaped earrings, a black clutch, and her family-heirloom wedding ring . Middleton also donned neutral makeup and her hair in a sleek yet wavy style.
After making it to the top of the event steps, the duke and duchess greeted other stars from the movie. Still, they stayed near Cruise and continued chatting with him.
Cruise and Prince William matched in traditional tuxedos and black bow ties. The prince's shoes, however, were a little more fun.
He wore loafers designed by Crockett & Jones that were embroidered with F-18 planes in honor of the movie.
Middleton and Cruise seemingly enjoyed their time together, with some photos taken at the event showing them sharing a laugh as Prince William talks to other attendees.

Kate Middleton and Prince William Hit the Red Carpet with Tom Cruise at 'Top Gun: Maverick' Premiere
The premiere isn't the first time the royal couple has seen the sequel to the 1986 hit!
Stephanie Petit is a Royals Editor, Writer and Reporter at PEOPLE.
Kate Middleton and Prince William feel the need, the need for speed!
The royal couple hit the red carpet for the U.K. premiere of Top Gun: Maverick in London's Leicester Square on Thursday evening alongside the film's star, Tom Cruise . Kate wore a black floor-length Roland Mouret gown with a white off-the-shoulder neckline shown off by her hair loose but worn tucked behind her ears , which also highlighted her statement earrings.
Meanwhile, Prince William went with a classic black tuxedo and bow tie — but had some fun with the theme of the night via his shoes. He sported Crockett & Jones loafers embroidered with F18 planes!
William, who was a Royal Air Force helicopter pilot himself, and Kate were also introduced to other cast members, like Jennifer Connelly Miles Teller, who plays the son of Cruise's comrade Goose from the original movie.
At one point in the night, Cruise offered his hand to Kate as she climbed a few stairs.
The London premiere won't be the first time Prince William , 39, and Kate, 40, have seen the highly anticipated film. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were reportedly treated to a special screening of the Top Gun sequel at the invitation of Cruise, who had heard William was a fan of the original 1986 movie.
"We have a lot in common," Cruise said of the royal at the premiere, according to My London . "We both love England and we're both aviators, we both love flying."
The premiere was hosted by Paramount Pictures and The Film and TV Charity and will be the 72nd Royal Film Performance put on by the charity in its almost 100-year history. The charity supports hundreds of thousands of people working behind the scenes in Britain's film and television industry and was called upon, especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic when many technicians and skilled craftspeople lost their livelihoods.
For Cruise, 59, it won't be his only royal encounter of the week. On Sunday, the actor co-hosted a star-studded televised event celebrating Queen Elizabeth 's 70-year reign at the Royal Windsor Horse Show. The monarch, 96, made a rare outing for the performance of "A Gallop Through History," appearing delighted as she watched acting and musical performances as well as horse displays.
Cruise previously met the late Prince Philip in 2017 during a dinner marking the 75th Anniversary of The Outward Bound Trust at Buckingham Palace.
And he mingled with the late Princess Diana along with his ex-wife and actress Nicole Kidman in 1992 at the Leicester Square Empire Cinema during the premiere of the romantic drama film Far and Away . Cruise also attended the funeral of Princess Diana in 1997 alongside Kidman.

Kate dazzled in an off-the-shoulder Roland Mouret column gown, with an Alexander McQueen clutch and Robinson Pelham diamond star earrings.
Meanwhile William was decked out in a midnight blue Alexander McQueen velvet dinner jacket and tuxedo trousers.
He also wore Crocket & Jones loafers with “F-18” on them in a nod to the fighter jet flown by Cruise’s character in the film.
The fundraising bash was held in aid of The Film and TV Charity, supporting people working behind the scenes in the UK’s screen sector.
It also marked the first time in 36 years Tom Cruise has slipped out of his shirt and into his aviators as test pilot Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell.
Cruise pulled out all the stops to set up a private screening for Wills and Kate back in March – having heard trained RAF helicopter pilot Wills, 39, was a fan of the original.
He gave them a world-first preview of the sequel, along with Sophie Wessex, 57, Princesses Eugenie, 32, and Princess Beatrice, 33, at one of the country’s biggest IMAX screens.
Maverick , which has so far received rave reviews from critics , sees Hollywood star Cruise reprise the role of US naval aviator Pete Mitchell and is being released 36 years after the 1986 original.
It was originally due for release in July 2019 but was repeatedly pushed back due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Tom Cruise made a dramatic entrance at the US premiere of the film, landing a helicopter on an aircraft carrier in San Diego, California.
And on Sunday, he joined the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, in which he introduced the King’s Troop, Royal Horse Artillery.
The actor said: “(The Queen) is a woman that I greatly admire, what she has accomplished has been historic.
“She has met presidents, world leaders, people from all walks of life.

“I just remember always as a kid seeing photos of her. I came to England, started making movies here in 1982, started producing here because I liked the crews. I loved the history.
“I have great respect for her, so when they asked (whether he would attend the platinum celebrations) I said yes immediately.”

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes's Relationship Timeline: A Look Back
Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise were married for nearly six years before they called it quits.
Krista Carter is a writer and editor with nearly a decade of experience working in beauty and fashion.
Has anyone ever been more in love than couch-jumping Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes ? We'll wait. Beginning in 2005, the actress and fashion icon (not just anyone can pull off socks over sweatpants , alright?) engaged in a whirlwind romance with PDA-filled red carpet appearances that solidified their public image as TomKat. Within a year of meeting, they were engaged and welcomed a child together. A few months later, they tied the knot (Holmes's first marriage and Cruise's third). While many believed that the union wouldn't last — and it ultimately didn't — the pair still went on to share nearly six years together as husband and wife.
Since their 2012 divorce, we're remembering the Hollywood couple that once gave every teenager a glimmer of hope that it was possible — although highly unlikely — that maybe, just maybe, the dream of marrying their celebrity crush could become a reality.
Here's a look back at Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise's relationship.
April 2005: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes first meet and are spotted together
As the story goes, after Cruise divorced Nicole Kidman and subsequently split from then-girlfriend Penelope Cruz , the Mission: Impossible actor's beloved Church of Scientology set out to find him a worthy (and malleable) wife. After reportedly courting (and ultimately scaring off) famous women like Sofía Vergara and Scarlett Johansson , the task proved more difficult than expected.
Eventually, church officials' prayers were answered through a Seventeen article, per HuffPost . In October 2004, Holmes (then engaged to Chris Klein ) told the teen magazine, "I used to think that I was going to marry Tom Cruise."
Six months later, Klein and Holmes announced their breakup, and on April 27, 2005, Cruise and Holmes were first spotted together in Rome. TomKat made their red carpet debut as a couple two days later on April 29 at the David di Donatello Awards. Coincidence? We may never truly know.
"When I met Tom, I was completely in love, and, yes, I admired him growing up — he's Tom Cruise!" she reportedly told T: The New York Times Style Magazine ( via People ).
May 23, 2005: Tom Cruise declares his love for Katie Holmes on The Oprah Winfrey Show
Cruise jolted daytime television when he appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and ecstatically jumped on her couch while professing love for his new girlfriend (who he subsequently brought out from backstage). The appearance went viral, with many questioning Cruise's sanity, as well as the relationship's authenticity.

Shortly after going public with their relationship, Cruise announced at a press conference for War of the Worlds that he and Holmes were engaged. According to The Hollywood Reporter , Cruise, then 43, proposed to Holmes, then 26, with a five-carat yellow diamond ring at a restaurant atop the Eiffel Tower.
"Today is a magnificent day for me; I'm engaged to a magnificent woman," he said, per People .
April 18, 2006: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes welcome their first child together
Holmes gave birth to a baby girl, Suri, in Santa Monica, California, in April 2006. Their newborn daughter made her public debut on the October 2006 cover of Vanity Fair.
The Dawson's Creek alum told the magazine , " The moment the doctor handed me Suri, I was just ready. The feeling is indescribable. All I can say is the moment I looked in her eyes, I felt like ... Mom."
Since then, the celeb offspring and fashionista has inspired one of our favorite pop culture artifacts of all time: Suri's Burn Book .

In November 2006, the Batman Begins actress's schoolgirl fantasy of marrying Cruise came true. Their wedding was marked by an extravagant ceremony and reception at an Italian castle that cost more than $3 million, according to E! Online .
The star-studded guest list included couples Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, John Travolta and the late Kelly Preston, and David Beckham and Victoria Beckham , among others. As for the bridal party, Holmes had her sister Nancy Blaylock as maid of honor, while Cruise chose Scientology leader David Miscavige as his best man.

Interestingly, after Cruise gave a Playboy interview in which he praised Holmes, she filed for divorce. Although the Top Gun star admitted that he "didn't expect" the divorce — per CBS News — the legal proceedings ran smoothly, and a settlement was reached in just 11 days.
Cruise and Holmes have rarely spoken on the record in regard to their split, but it's rumored that Holmes's motivation was to free her daughter from the unique constraints of Scientology. During his deposition against Bauer Media Cruise (whose tabloids claimed he'd abandoned Suri), Cruise was asked if Holmes left him "in part to protect Suri from Scientology."
Insulted, he said, "There is no need to protect my daughter from my religion."
However, according to ABC News , when prodded again, specifically as to whether Holmes had mentioned that she was leaving in an effort to protect Suri from Scientology, Cruise responded, "Did she say that? That was one of the assertions, yes."
Holmes was granted primary custody of Suri in their divorce. Though Cruise was afforded ample visitation, it was widely reported that he rarely saw his daughter. In 2016, InTouch Weekly asserted that the actor hadn't seen or spoken to his youngest child in over 1,000 days (or two-and-a-half years).

Kate Middleton Hung Out With Tom Cruise at the Top Gun: Maverick Premiere
Somehow, Kate Middleton consistently makes being a royal look like one of the funnest jobs in the world. Whereas Queen Elizabeth II, for one, tends to look rather stoic while carrying out her duties, the Duchess can often be found grinning from ear to ear . (See: that time she gave her all at a game of rugby, or that time she went down a slide at the Lego Foundation in Denmark.) And while Middleton technically had to work late on Thursday night, she couldn’t have looked happier to do so. It just so happened that this year’s Royal Film Performance charity event took the form of the Top Gun: Maverick U.K. premiere, meaning that she got to reunite with a friend she only gets to see occasionally: none other than Tom Cruise. (They’ve met at least twice before, at the 2020 Euro Championship and 2021 Wimbledon women’s final.)
Middleton and William met a number of other cast members, most notably Cruise’s costars Miles Teller and Jennifer Connelly. The British royalty and Hollywood royalty looked equally happy to mingle, laughing and chatting on the red carpet before heading into the screening at Leicester Square. For the most part, though, Middleton—who wore a black-and-white off-the-shoulder gown by Roland Mouret for her night out on the town—seems to have spent the bulk of her time with Cruise. Unlike William, he even held her hand when they headed up the stairs into the theater.

This isn’t the first time Middleton has hobnobbed with celebrities at a Hollywood premiere. She and William memorably made a fully surprise appearance at the London screening of No Time to Die last fall, and thankfully, the moment she met Billie Eilish was captured on film. The image is delightful; in an alternate universe, they could have been the prom queen and begrudgingly dressed-up alt girl. If she keeps it up, who knows who the Duchess will be photographed with next?

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’s Relationship Timeline: The Way They Were
- Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below
Out of the spotlight. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes ' marriage — and subsequent split — has been a major topic of conversation over the years. The couple first sparked dating speculation after they were seen on a trip to Europe together in 2005. Following a whirlwind romance, Cruise and Holmes got engaged later that year before welcoming their daughter in 2006. During their courtship, the Abandon star confirmed that she was going to convert to Scientology. "You know, it's really exciting," Holmes told W Magazine in 2005 about the controversial religion. "I just started auditing and I'm taking some courses and I really like it. I feel like it's really helping." The Dawson's Creek alum exchanged vows with the Top Gun: Maverick star in 2006, shortly after they expanded their family. Cruise and Holmes shocked fans when they announced their separation in June 2012 after five years of marriage. At the time, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that the Batman Begins actress was "very happy" that she could "move on and finally live her life." Less than one year later, the Oscar nominee noted in an interview that that he "didn't expect" his ex to file for divorce in 2012. Holmes, for her part, opened up about making plans to return to her acting career. "Even early on, when I was a young actor and all of a sudden people knew who I was, my dad told me, 'Don't let that change how you live your life.' I've always sort of approached it that way," she detailed to DuJour magazine in 2014. "You have to continue to do the things you want to do and not let outside forces dictate." The New York native continued: "I think I've gotten more comfortable with acting over time. Early on, I could never get out of my head. I'd be thinking, 'I have to get the job.' And even when I had the job, I was afraid that I was going to get fired, or I just had the mentality of, 'I need to be good enough.'" Holmes said she was looked forward to getting to explore her passion again, saying, "But the more projects you do, the older you get, the more life experience you get, you start to understand storytelling better. So you're a little bit more confident going in. You're not afraid of getting fired: You just want to contribute." The Miss Meadows star clarified that she didn't blame her marriage for her career hiatus. "It's the life of an actor. We don't really have a lot of choice in the matter. You have dry spells, and then you have times when there is a lot of opportunity," she concluded. Nearly a decade after ending her marriage, Holmes opened up about the challenges of being a single mother. "That time was intense," she recalled to InStyle in April 2020. "It was a lot of attention, and I had a little child on top of it. [We] had some funny moments out and about in public. ... I feel like I can be more creative and have more time, have my voice." Holmes dated Jamie Foxx from 2013 to 2019. She was later linked to chef Emilio Vitolo and Bobby Wooten III. Cruise, for his part, previously sparked romance rumors with Hayley Atwell but has remained tight-lipped about his personal life.Sign up for Us Weekly's free, daily newsletter and never miss breaking news or exclusive stories about your favorite celebrities, TV shows and more!

When people think of the 2000s, obviously, a lot comes to mind. Looking past the questionable fashion choices and our obsession with everything pink, everyone was really obsessed with the “It” couples of the decade: Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck , Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling, and, perhaps most of all, Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise (AKA TomKat), who married 16 years ago on November 18, 2006.
Let’s face it; whether you loved them or hated them, everyone was paying attention. Their whirlwind romance started in 2005, and within two months, they were ready to tie the knot . Then came love, marriage, and a baby carriage — just not in that order. Soon after they announced their engagement, they also announced they were expecting their daughter Suri Cruise .
They seemed like a simple, happy family, from their Italian fairytale wedding to their many smiling red-carpet appearances. But some people got a weird vibe, especially after Cruise’s Scientology activities went viral, and some worried Holmes was trapped in the marriage.
Then, after nearly six years of marriage, Holmes filed for divorce in 2012 — and everyone had so many questions. What was 2000s royalty became another celebrity divorce that broke our hearts.
Learn more about their turbulent relationship and divorce timeline, and see some photos of the pair together below.

Fans Are Seriously Divided Over Tom Cruise Touching Kate Middleton At A Movie Premiere
Tom Cruise is busy winning 2022. The iconic actor was honored at this year's Cannes Film Festival for his expansive movie career and received the illustrious Palme d'Or award, according to The Hollywood Reporter . This celebration coincided with the release of his highly anticipated film, "Top Gun: Maverick."
Cruise has been active since the 1980s, and cemented his status as Hollywood royalty with classic films such as "Rain Man" and "Jack Reacher." After a groundbreaking 40 years in film, Cruise has transformed into Hollywood's leading man by making smart career choices. Per Forbes , the "Mission Impossible" franchise has grossed over $3.5 billion, and Cruise's impressive box office pull contributes to his $600 million net worth .
The actor's reach, then surely, can't be underestimated. On May 15, for instance, Cruise participated in Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee celebration . Though his appearance and hosting duties angered fans, Cruise confessed his longtime admiration of the queen, according to the Independent .
But that wasn't the star's last interaction with the royal family. Per People , he crossed paths with Prince William and Kate Middleton at the "Top Gun: Maverick" premiere in London. Once again, he caused some controversy.
Royal fans had mixed feelings over Tom Cruise's gesture
When celebrities meet the royal family, it's easy to remember that the world's biggest movie stars aren't immune to being starstruck or committing faux pas. Marie Claire outlined the strict protocols that they must follow when rubbing shoulders with the royals, which includes no physical contact unless initiated by them first.
Tom Cruise's moment with Kate Middleton on the red carpet of the "Top Gun: Maverick" premiere had people talking for many reasons — their stark height difference seeming nonexistent being one of them . Aside from the apparent camera tricks (and Cruise's heeled shoes), another incident between Cruise and Kate left fans torn.
Per Page Six , the "Mission: Impossible – Fallout" actor lent the Duchess of Cambridge a hand as they climbed the steps at Leicester Square, with Prince William looking on. Cruise's good deed drew both praise and criticism online.
In one tweet , a user called the actor a "creep" for the gesture, and while the Daily Mail pointed out that he was being helpful, Cruise did broke royal protocols. But some people saw the moment as completely harmless. Back on Twitter, another user argued that the Duke of Cambridge didn't offer his wife help before criticizing the royal protocols in general, writing , "Prince William made no effort to help Kate up the stairs. The 'royals' are humans, not better than anyone, and need to stop with the ancient protocols. No human should bow down to another human in 2022."
Kate had a subtle reaction to the infamous moment
While Kate Middleton hasn't commented on the interaction, fans are convinced that she wasn't pleased based on her body language. Per Newsweek , a video surfaced revealing what happened seconds after Kate and Tom Cruise climbed the steps. Once the "Top Gun: Maverick" star let go of her hand, Kate immediately switched her purse to the hand closest to him. Photos from the event confirm the hand swap.
It's entirely possible that this was purely innocent and subconscious, but not everyone is convinced. Sky News Australia contributor Dr. Erin Watson turned to Twitter to voice her observations of the move. In one tweet , she speculated that Kate used her clutch to stop unwanted physical contact, writing, "Kate Middleton then immediately switched her clutch so he didn't touch her again as she went up the next set of stairs like a total #bossroyal who wasn't going to be touched by Tom Cruise."
In another tweet , Watson compared Kate's reaction to the universal experience that women share when it comes to non-consensual touching, writing, "Kate Middleton is all of us strategically shifting our clutch because someone thinks they can touch you but #nope."

A Complete Timeline Of Tom Cruise And Katie Holmes's Relationship
TomKat happened quickly. In spring 2005, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were about to begin dating one another in a highly publicized romance, surprising fans and the media. But even more surprising was the speed at which their romance progressed. Within weeks of meeting, the two became engaged. Within less than a year, they were expecting a baby. Suri Cruise was born in 2006.
Scandals related to Cruise's erratic behavior plagued the union, and rumors swirled that Scientology was behind the pairing. Many also believed the relationship was a publicity stunt - both Cruise and Holmes had movies coming out during the beginning of their romance, the height of their very public courtship.
Although Cruise was venerated in 2005 for his successful movies , his career has since taken a downhill turn. Exposés about Scientology have discredited the church and its followers, and Cruise's odd behavior makes him an eccentric figure in the minds of many. Cruise and Holmes's whirlwind romance ended in divorce, but it's hard to forget the strange Scientology-laden saga of their relationship.

June 2005: Holmes Explores Scientology
After Holmes started dating Cruise, she began making decisions that upset those close to her. For one, she fired her manager and publicist for undisclosed reasons. She also began exploring the Church of Scientology, which Cruise belonged to.

Mid-2005: Holmes Turns Down A Role In 'Factory Girl,' Allegedly Due To Scientology's Views On Psychiatry
Holmes was originally slated for a role in Factory Girl , which the Weinstein Company released in 2006. The movie is about actress-model Edie Sedgwick, known for starring in Andy Warhol's films. Holmes dropped out of the project at the last minute, however.
The media speculated Holmes's decision was a reflection of her newfound involvement in Scientology, which doesn't believe in psychiatry. Throughout her life, Sedgwick was in and out of mental institutions and perished from taking too many hard substances.
Cruise also said in an interview that he didn't want Holmes to play victims and preferred she stick to portraying strong women.

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise's strict divorce rules for daughter Suri
The dawson's creek star and the mission impossible actor split in 2012.
Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise were once considered one of Hollywood's It-couples, so news of their split in 2012 came as a shock to fans.
The couple tied the knot in November 2006 in Odescalchi Castle near Rome, Italy, and during their six-year marriage, they welcomed their daughter Suri .
Dawson's Creek star Katie is often seen spending time in New York City with the 18-year-old after she was granted full custody of her daughter in the divorce settlement. See the other divorce rules Tom and Katie agreed to follow to prioritise her well-being.
Katie and Tom's split
Suri was born in April 2006, with doting father Tom later gushing to ABC News : "It was everything that we wanted it to be... It was spiritual. It was powerful. It was indescribable."
She was just six years old when Katie filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences."
Tom confessed to German TV network ProSieben: "I didn't expect it," adding: "Life is a tragicomedy. You need to have a sense of humor."
Katie and Tom released a joint statement that read: "We are committed to working together as parents to accomplish what is in our daughter Suri's best interests.
"We want to keep matters affecting our family private and express our respect for each other's commitment to each of our respective beliefs and support each other's roles as parents."
Divorce terms
Katie reportedly deliberately filed for divorce in New York, where family law judges tend not to grant joint custody to fighting parents to prevent conflicts for the children.
She was granted sole custody and Tom agreed to several financial obligations, including paying Katie $400,000 a month until Suri turned 18 years old, according to the Daily Mail . The Mission Impossible actor also agreed to shoulder "medical, dental, insurance, education, college and other extracurricular costs".
Aside from finances, the pair also set out boundaries when it came to religion. Tom is a devout Scientologist, and when he split from his first wife Nicole Kidman in 2001, their two adopted children Isabella and Connor continued to be Scientologists and drifted apart from their mother.
Catholic-raised Katie was supposedly afraid of history repeating itself with Suri, which is why she sought sole custody. This allowed her to remove her daughter from any Scientology-influenced schools, like the Delphian School in Oregon where Tom's older children attended.
Instead, Suri attended LaGuardia High School and has hinted she is planning to study at Carnegie Mellon University .
According to TMZ, Katie and Tom's divorce agreement also included restrictions on what they could tell Suri regarding religion. The little girl supposedly couldn't be exposed to anything Scientology-related.
Tom and Suri's relationship
Tom was very excited to become a father to Suri, even controversially buying a medical-grade sonogram machine in order to see her throughout Katie's pregnancy.
Throughout Suri's childhood, the father-daughter duo were often pictured on public outings before Tom and Katie divorced.
However, the Top Gun actor spent less and less time with his daughter following the split. Lindsay George , BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist, told HELLO! that this may have had an impact on Suri's attachment , which was likely secure until her father left.
"Suri may well have felt quite confused at the time as to why her dad left," she began.
"We can speculate that he was present and an emotionally available dad. Obviously, she's got her mum too, so potentially, Suri's attachment style is secure because she's had two parents emotionally and physically available in those early years of her life, which is super important."
Former Scientologist Samantha Domingo told Us Weekly that Tom was "not allowed" to have a relationship with Suri as she was not a Scientologist.
Samantha explained the Church's belief in reincarnation means they would not view Suri as Tom's daughter, but as a "spiritual being in Tom's daughter's body."
Tom has denied these claims, stating his busy work schedule has prevented them from spending time together. The physical distance also doesn't help, since Suri lives in New York City and Tom has made London his primary base.

So ähnlich sieht Suri Cruise Mama Katie Holmes auf neuem Pic
2024-06-19T20:18:00+00:00 - Anja-Stine Andresen
Die Ähnlichkeit zwischen Suri Cruise (18) und Katie Holmes (45) ist verblüffend. Das wird auf aktuellen Aufnahmen deutlich, die vom Senior-Prom des Teenagers stammen. Die Jugendliche schmiss sich anlässlich ihres Abschlusses in ein gemustertes Miederkleid und posierte mit ihrem Date und einigen Freunden für ein paar Bilder. Eines fällt währenddessen besonders auf: Die Beauty sieht ihrer Mama mit den offenen braunen Haaren und Lächeln im Gesicht zum Verwechseln ähnlich!
Nach ihrem High-School-Abschluss steht für Suri ein neues Kapitel im Leben an: Die 18-Jährige wird bald an der Eliteuniversität Carnegie Mellon Universtity studieren. Laut Daily Mail spezialisiert sich der Promi-Nachwuchs auf Design. Katie ist superstolz auf ihre fleißige Tochter. "Sie ist ein kluges Mädchen und entwickelt sich zu einer sehr intelligenten, reifen jungen Frau. Sie hat eine sehr enge Gruppe von loyalen Freunden und weiß genau, woher sie kommt!" , verriet ein Insider gegenüber dem Magazin.
Ob sich ihr Vater Tom Cruise (61) ebenfalls für Suri freut? Zu ihm hat die zukünftige Studentin ein eher zerrüttetes Verhältnis. Vor wenigen Wochen habe sie sogar seinen Namen abgelegt und nennt sich ab sofort Suri Noelle. "Indem sie ihren Namen in 'Noelle' ändert, scheint sie ihre mütterliche Seite in den Vordergrund zu stellen und die Loyalität gegenüber ihrer Mutter zu zeigen" , merkte Beziehungsexpertin Louella Alderson gegenüber Mirror an.

Suri Cruise: Händchenhaltend gesichtet! Ist er ihr neuer Freund?
Suri cruise händchenhaltend beim abschlussball ist er ihr neuer freund.
Sie war einst das berühmteste Promi-Baby der Welt, heute ist Suri Cruise , 18, eine erwachsene Frau. Mit dem Erlangen ihrer Volljährigkeit im vergangenen April beginnt für die Tochter der Hollywood-Stars ein ganz neues Kapitel, zudem hat sie ihre Schulausbildung beendet. Beim Abschlussball in New York City am Mittwoch, 19. Juni 2024, schien die Jungschauspielerin ein weiteres Detail aus ihrem Privatleben enthüllt zu haben.
Suri Cruise erscheint Hand in Hand mit jungem Mann zu ihrem Abschlussball
Paparazzi erwischten Cruise, wie sie händchenhaltend mit einem jungen Mann zum Ball erschien. Fotos, die unter anderem "Daily Mail" vorliegen, zeigen die 18-Jährige in einem kastanienbraunen und weiß gemusterten Kleid mit Bustier-Oberteil und einem Rock, der bis zu den Knien reichte. Den Prom-Look rundete sie mit goldenen High Heels ab, in denen ihre dunkel lackierten Fußnägel zum Vorschein kamen. Ihre Haare trug die junge Frau gewellt. So glamourös sah man die Tochter von Tom Cruise, 61, selten.
Doch viel mehr Aufmerksamkeit als ihr Outfit zog ihre Begleitung auf sich. Hand in Hand spazierte sie mit einem braunhaarigen jungen Mann über die Straßen. Er trug einen blauen Anzug mit weißer Ansteckblume und braunen Lederschuhen.
Datet sie Musiker Toby Cohen?
Wie die "Daily Mail" berichtet, handelt es sich bei dem jungen Mann um Toby Cohen, einen aufstrebenden Musiker. Seinem Instagram-Profil zufolge sei er ein Sänger und Songwriter, der im kommenden Herbst das renommierte Berklee College of Music in Boston besuchen werde. Cruise hingegen wurde an der angesehenen Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh angenommen, was etwa zwei Flugstunden oder neun Autostunden von Cohens Universität entfernt liegt.
