17-Year-Old Suri Cruise Has A Mature Approach To Her Strained Relationship With Her Father

• Suri Cruise, who is the age of 17, has chosen to keep her relationship with her father, Tom Cruise, private.
• Suri's decision could be influenced by her mother, Katie Holmes.
• Katie Holmes' departure from the Church of Scientology and her concerns about Suri's involvement may have impacted her relationship with Tom Cruise.

It's never easy being a child of divorced parents, and it's even more difficult when you're a child of famous divorced parents. Hollywood has seen many cases of failed relationships where children openly speak out about their experience and status with one or both estranged parents, like Ewan McGregor's daughters or Billy Ray Cyrus and his children .

However, out of this long list of children of divorced parents is Suri Cruise, whose decision to remain private about her relationship with her father, Tom Cruise , has left the public in the dark. To this day, in 2023, Suri Cruise has declined to do interviews about her relationship with her movie star father. Although Suri herself hasn't dished out any news regarding her status with Tom Cruise, some breadcrumbs lead us to believe that she is handling the situation maturely (especially given Suri Cruise's age: 17).

Suri Cruise Decided To Keep An Estranged Relationship With Her Father Private

As mentioned previously, Suri Cruise made the mature decision to keep her relationship with her estranged father under wraps and away from the public eye. It's unclear why she made this decision, but it probably has something to do with the way her mother, Katie Holmes , raised her.

How Suri Cruise Really Feels About Her Father Tom Cruise Not Being In Her Life Anymore?

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise had Suri in 2006, the same year they tied the knot. Five years later, the couple, unfortunately, divorced, which then kick-started the battle that would determine who would have full custody of young Suri. Eventually, Holmes secured sole custody of then-five-year-old Suri alongside a yearly payment of $400,000 for child support from the Top Gun star.

Tom Cruise And Katie Holmes Relationship Timeline :

• April 2005: Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise first meet and are spotted together.
• May 2005: Tom Cruise declares his love for Katie Holmes on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
• June 2005: Tom Cruise announces his engagement to Katie Holmes.
• April 2006: Katie Holmes gives birth to Suri Cruise.
• November 2006: Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise officially tie the knot.
• June 2012: Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise get a divorce.

Being a childhood star and having a "paparazzi-filled" upbringing, Holmes wanted to provide Suri with the opposite, especially given Suri Cruise's age at the time of the divorce. She told Glamour that she wanted to assume the position of a protective mother in order to shield her daughter from the pervasive spotlight.

"What has been really important for me with my daughter, because she is so visible at a young age, is I really like to protect her."

After the custody battle, Suri had little contact with her father. Besides the frequent checks for medical expenses, insurance, dental, and other extracurricular costs attached to Suri, the two never seem to cross paths all that much. And if the two did have problems, neither one ever spoke about it to the press.

Now at 17 years old, Suri is in the midst of applying for college, which is a momentous time in many teenagers' lives. However, this momentous time has not included her father so far, seeing that the two still remain distant from each other, according to DailyMail.com. A source close to Katie Holmes said that Holmes and Suri are preparing for this exciting next chapter in their lives, saying Holmes is "overwhelmed" by her daughter going off to college , in hopes that she'll stay close to home.

"Katie really does want her to stay in New York, so they can be close to each other... being raised by a single mom in New York has made Suri who she is."

Sadly, Tom Cruise was not mentioned while talking about this special chapter in Suri's life, despite being required to support her financially. Suri's reasoning behind keeping her father out of the picture while planning her future is still uncertain.

Here Are Other Things We Know About Suri Cruise And Her Life In 2023

• Suri Cruise has been applying to multiple universities across the country, according to Style.
• Suri Cruise has expressed overt interest in fashion, and it is heavily speculated that this will be what she pursues in college.
• Suri Cruise turned 17 this year on April 18, 2023.

Why Does Suri Cruise Have Minimal Contact With Her Father, Tom Cruise?

After Katie Holmes secured sole custody of her daughter Suri Cruise, the two moved to New York City to start a new life away from Tom Cruise. Reportedly, Suri and her father have not had a lot of communication since the official split in 2013.

Suri's decision not to maintain great contact with her father is likely due to various factors. However, one reason could be because of her father's affiliation with the Church of Scientology.

Interesting Facts About Katie Holmes Close Bond With Her Daughter, Suri Cruise

The Church of Scientology is a religion that "offers a precise path leading to a complete and certain understanding of one's true spiritual nature," and it "addresses the spirit... and believes that Man is far more than a product of his environment of genes," according to Scientology.org.

Katie Holmes' decision to leave The Church of Scientology alongside her fear of Suri becoming a Scientologist are among the reasons she filed for divorce from Tom Cruise. Although Suri has yet to confirm the speculation surrounding her views of Scientology, Holmes' staunch stance against it likely influenced Suri.

How Katie Holmes Really Feels About Working On Projects In Hollywood With Her Daughter, Suri

It's unclear whether Suri Cruise and her father, Tom Cruise, will ever bridge the gap and make amends as she nears young adulthood. At the moment, all fans and onlookers can do is speculate about Suri and Tom's relationship with the minute bits of information at their disposal. However, according to Katie Holmes, some of the speculation and beliefs about her daughter and ex-husband's relationship are inaccurate .

So, until Suri Cruise is ready to break her silence and disclose information once and for all about what her relationship is really like with her father, we will all remain in the dark.

Tom Cruise & Daughter Suri Cruise: Their Relationship Explained

Learn more about Tom Cruise's relationship with his daughter, Suri, with this comprehensive timeline.

Fans have always been interested in Tom Cruise ‘s personal life. The actor has had a number of high-profile relationships, and one of his most famous marriages was with beloved actress Katie Holmes . Before the former couple got married in 2006, Katie and Tom welcomed their precious baby girl, Suri . Tom and Katie divorced in 2012, leaving many to wonder what the actor’s relationship with his only biological child is like all of these years later. Take a look at the comprehensive timeline below to learn more about the current status of Tom and Suri’s father-daughter relationship.

Tom Cruise’s Relationship With Suri Today

In April 2019, however,  HollywoodLife learned EXCLUSIVELY that Tom was doing everything he could to maintain a close bond with Suri. “As challenging as things have become for him and his daughter, he still loves her,” the insider shared. “[He] thinks about her all the time and will recognize that she is becoming a teenager and a young woman on her [13th birthday]. 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.” Over the course of the last few years, Tom and Suri have both been quite busy. Tom’s film career is taking on new heights with the upcoming sequel to Top Gun , while Suri has been living it up as a teenager in the Big Apple.

Tom Cruise & Suri’s Relationship Before The Divorce

During his marriage to Katie, Tom absolutely gushed about baby Suri. “My whole life I always wanted to be a father,” the actor shared in the family’s 2006 VF profile. Tom also has two adopted children from his previous marriage to  Nicole Kidman — a son named Connor , 26, and daughter named Isabella , 28. Although Tom shared in 2006 that he looked forward to Connor, Isabella, and Suri growing close, his divorce from Katie led to those relationships seemingly fraying.

“I always said to myself that my children would be able to depend on me and I would always be there for them and love them—that I’d never make a promise to my kids that I couldn’t keep. I’m not one of those people who believe you can spoil a child with too much love. You can never give a child too much love. There’s just no way.” The actor also recounted celebrating all of the “joy” in his life at the time, which he attributed to his newborn daughter. “We’ll never forget the bad times, you know, but you have to celebrate the joy. And that’s what Suri is: the joy.”

A collection of snapshots from Suri’s life as a little girl even showcased just how affectionate the two were. Whenever Tom would carry Suri around the big city, she sometimes would wrap her arms around his neck. The two would even hold hands when they were out and about. Tom even carried some of her belongings.

Katie Holmes’ Custody Of Suri

Years later, Katie and Suri have really proven that their relationship has been flourishing and the two are closer than ever. Some of the few Hollywood events the pair have attended together have actually been geared toward Suri. In December 2017, the pair got to introduce Taylor Swift at Jingle Ball in New York City! It’s rare, beyond a few outings and some public events, that Katie offers details about Suri’s life to the public. She did share in a 2019 interview with  Elle UK , however, that she loved “growing up” with her daughter. “I was happy to become a mom in my 20s,” she shared with 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.” Of course, like any mother, Katie does worry about her only daughter as she becomes a young adult in the public eye. “There is so much bad news and hate and things that don’t make sense. The atmosphere around the world is…terrifying,” she expressed. “Doesn’t every parent [worry about that]?”

Fortunately, the two are incredibly close. They’ve been spotted getting frozen yogurt, shopping, and going for walks around the city from time to time. Katie’s love life is also heating up, as she explores a newfound romance with restauranteur  Emilio Vitolo .

Suri Cruise In 2020

In November 2020, Katie gushed about how her daughter has matured and become her own person. “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,” Katie told Elle UK . “She came out very strong — she’s always been a strong personality. She’ll pick an activity and work her butt off until she’s really good at it. Then she’s like, ‘OK, I’m going to try the next thing.’ She’s very focused and a hard worker.”

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.

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."

Holmes also recalled how spending time with a friend with a young child made her reminisce about raising Suri.

"Taking time in Washington Square Park with a friend whose little child was taking his first steps brought me back to when my own child began to walk," she wrote. "I felt nostalgic and in awe of the power of time and the continuation of life."

Tom Cruise children: Inside actor’s mysterious relationships with Suri, Isabella and Connor

Tom Cruise is one of the biggest stars in the world but, when it comes to his relationships with his three children, very little is known.

Hollywood heavyweight Tom Cruise might be one of the biggest movie stars in the world but, when it comes to his personal life, very little is known about his relationships – especially with his children.

The Golden Globe winner first became a father in 1992 when he and his then-wife Nicole Kidman adopted their daughter Isabella. The former couple’s family grew again in 1995 when they adopted their son, Connor. After the marriage broke down, the Top Gun actor found love again with Katie Holmes and the pair went on to welcome his only biological child, Suri.

While Cruise was photographed frequently with Suri in her early years, sources have claimed he is now estranged from his 17-year-old daughter. As for his older children, mystery has long surrounded their relationships.

Now, after news he has found “love” with Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova, the Herald looks at his family dynamics.

Here is everything we know about Tom’s relationships with his children:

Isabella Cruise

Born on December 22, 1992, Isabella – who calls herself Bella Kidman Cruise – was the first child Kidman and Cruise adopted in their decade-long marriage in the 1990s. Her relationship with her father appears to remain intact.

After agreeing to a joint custody agreement with Kidman in 2001 – financial terms and other settlement terms were kept confidential – Isabella and Connor stayed with their father in LA when Kidman returned to Australia and the children quickly became “completely dedicated Scientologists”, according to People magazine.

Now 30, Isabella rarely posts on social media but Page Six reported in 2019 that she wrote in a Scientology newsletter thanking her father “for everything”.

Kidman has not explicitly shared her opinion about her daughter’s relationship with the church but did briefly mention it in a 2018 interview with Who magazine.

“They are adults,” she said of Isabella and Connor at the time. “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 know 150 per cent that I would give up my life for my children because it’s what my purpose is.”

Hollywood Life has reported that Bella is now based in London and owns an art company selling phone cases, tote bags and other accessories.

In 2015 she married Max Parker, an IT consultant, in an intimate ceremony that neither Cruise nor Kidman attended, causing widespread speculation that Bella was estranged from them. But the Mirror reported that Cruise knew about the wedding and footed the bill.

Bella later spoke to the Daily Mail , claiming: “Of course [we talk], they’re my parents. Anyone who says otherwise is full of sh**.”

While it’s not known exactly how much contact she has with her father, reports suggest they have a good relationship.

She has previously shown support for him on social media by posting the trailer for Top Gun: Maverick and liking a post by Lady Gaga that featured him.

Connor Cruise

Born on January 17, 1995, and adopted the same year, Connor Cruise – much like his sister – appears to enjoy a life away from the spotlight.

Despite seemingly following in his parents’ footsteps earlier in his life when he starred in two films – Seven Pounds in 2008 and the Red Dawn remake in 2012 – Connor later pursued DJing successfully but has since taken a new direction.

Hollywood Life has reported that the 28-year-old spends a lot of time fishing and lives in Clearwater, Florida, which is the main Scientology hub in the US. The Mirror has reported that Connor has become a high-ranking member of the church .

He remains close to his sister and father, though reports suggest he does not have a good relationship with Kidman and did not invite her to his wedding in 2019.

He married Italian-born Silvia Zanchi, a fellow Scientologist who also grew up in the religion, and allegedly “banned” Kidman from the wedding at the request of his father.

Speaking to Radar Online in 2019, a source said, “Tom is behind this and what he wants is as good as law. Tom made the call and Connor followed.”

Adding that Connor “worships the ground his father walks on”, the sources added: “First, Tom would never even consider inviting Nicole to Connor’s wedding because she’s considered a ‘suppressive person’ by the church. And, second, he doesn’t want her there.”

People magazine reported in 2019 that Connor and his father regularly spend time together but public outings are rare. They were spotted the same year flying over London in a helicopter and Cruise showed his son “some aviation basics”.

The trip was a way to promote the Mission Impossible film at the time. However, People reported there was also an annual Scientology gathering that Connor was believed to have attended with his father.

Since then, the two have also been spotted on rare outings together, including at a 2021 basketball game and, most recently, in New York City in July at an event to promote Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning .

Suri Cruise

Earlier this year an insider revealed to Page Six that Cruise was estranged Suri, his daughter with former wife Katie Holmes. However, he still pays child support of US$400,000 (NZ$640,500), which will continue until she is 18.

He is also required to pay for Suri’s expenses, including medical, dental, insurance, education and other extra-curricular costs.

The news doesn’t come as a complete surprise as Cruise revealed in his 2012 defamation case against Bauer Media that his links to Scientology had played a large part in his estrangement from Suri.

When asked if Holmes had left him “in part to protect Suri from Scientology”, he replied, “That was one of the assertions, yes.”

“Listen, when there is a divorce, things change,” he told lawyers in 2013. “It’s not an ideal scene. It’s not an ideal situation.”

After the US$50 million ($80m) lawsuit deposition in 2016, the controversial church was criticised for keeping Cruise and his daughter apart. According to the rules of Scientology, church members are not allowed to associate with non-believers.

Since neither Holmes nor Suri are Scientologists, it has been claimed that Cruise cannot have a relationship with either of them.

“This is his loss, his issue, his problem,” an insider told Page Six at the time. “He must be really brainwashed.”

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.

She was wearing a black tank top and a knee-length denim skirt which gave early 2000s vibes.

She paired it with several silver bracelets and a black string choker necklace that had a large silver flower on it.

On her feet were black sneakers and tall white socks that were scrunched down at her ankles.

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.

She claimed that divorce was a measure of protection, keeping Suri safe from Cruise's religion. At the end of their custody discussions, which lasted less than two weeks, the "Mission Impossible" star was awarded just 10 visitation days. Though there were some odd stipulations in their quickie divorce, Cruise didn't press the custody agreement, and since that time, he has been estranged from Suri by all accounts.

That doesn't excuse him from having to pay for her expenses, though. Initially, the agreed-upon deal stated that Cruise had to pay around $4.8 million in child support. It equates to about $400,000 annually and can be further broken down to just over $33,000 each month, according to TMZ . Considering he is worth more than half a billion, Cruise could have been ordered to pay much more — especially under New York law had the couple not wanted to settle expeditiously.

Fortunately, though the agreement specified payments would be made until Suri is 18, they also included the clause that he pays for all of her college education — which is right around the corner for teenage Suri.

Tom is only involved financially

Katie Holmes has a great relationship with her daughter Suri and just may be in the thick of helping her with college applications. Still, neither she nor Suri need any input from Tom Cruise — unless it's in dollars and cents. As far as we know, Cruise has not yet defaulted on his responsibilities in terms of financially supporting his daughter, so it's unlikely that the actor will fail to pay for her college education. It could cost him, though, especially if she gets into her top choices.

According to the Daily Mail , Suri is interested in possibly studying fashion at one of New York's premier schools. She has applied "all over the place," including institutions outside of NYC, but their source maintained that The Big Apple is where Holmes would prefer her daughter to stay for her schooling, as it is where the pair currently reside. Fashion school alone generally comes with a tuition tag of anywhere from a few thousand dollars to nearly $40,000.

Katie Holmes turned down her acceptance to Columbia University, but should Suri choose to go to her mom's alma mater (in a manner of speaking), Cruise would have to shell out even more — closer to $70,000. But thanks to his endeavors in Hollywood, most notably his long-running role in the "Mission Impossible" franchise, we're guessing tuition will basically be pennies to Cruise.

Will Katie have to contribute?

Tom Cruise's monthly child support payments are reported to total just over $33,000. That might be a drop in the bucket for him, but it surely comes in handy for Katie Holmes and Suri. The "Dawson's Creek" actor isn't destitute by any means, but still, Hollywood has seen much less of her over the years than it has of her ex-husband. For the most part, Holmes has stepped back from acting in both movies and television. More recently, she has taken to writing, directing, and producing films, such as her 2023 adaptation of the novel "Rare Objects." These days, she has also moved her talents to the stage, starring in the play "The Wanderers" in 2023.

The "Batman Begins" actor has also held several guest roles and agreed to numerous endorsement deals. We've seen her campaign for everything from Coach to Olay. Additionally, Holmes wasn't only the ambassador for Alterna Hair Care from 2013 to 2017, but was co-owner, too.

Holmes has sold some of her real estate, like her Los Angeles home in the star-studded region of Calabasas. She prefers to live in New York City with her daughter Suri, where they can enjoy the museums and theaters. Despite her business endeavors and property holdings, her net worth is estimated to be less than 5% of Cruise's, $25 million to his $600 million , making it probable that the doting mother won't have to pay up for Suri's New York fashion college tuition. We'd like to think she can have her cake and eat it, too!

Tom Cruise’s kids: Meet his 3 children including 16-year-old daughter Suri

• View Author Archive
• Get author RSS feed

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

Tom Cruise may keep quiet about his kids, but the “Top Gun: Maverick” actor is a father of three.

The Golden Globe winner became a parent while married to Nicole Kidman from 1990 to 2001.

After struggling to conceive, the former couple adopted daughter Isabella and son Connor in 1992 and 1995, respectively.

Amid their divorce, the “Big Little Lies” alum suffered an ectopic pregnancy . After splitting from Cruise and moving on with Keith Urban , Kidman later welcomed daughters Sunday and Faith via surrogate.

As for Cruise, he moved on with Katie Holmes in 2005. The duo welcomed their daughter, Suri, in April 2006, seven months before tying the knot in Italy.

Holmes filed for divorce from the Oscar nominee in June 2012, and their divorce was settled the following month. Keep scrolling to meet Cruise’s kids.

Isabella Jane Cruise

Kidman and Cruise adopted Isabella shortly after she was born in 1992, and their daughter has followed in the “Mission: Impossible” star’s Scientologist footsteps.

In a March 2019 newsletter for the organization, Isabella thanked her dad “for everything.”

Although Kidman keeps quiet about her relationship with Isabella, she did speak about her adult children in a November 2018 Who interview .

“They are adults,” the Emmy winner said of Isabella and Connor at the time. “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,” she continued.

“I know 150 percent that I would give up my life for my children because it’s what my purpose is.”

Connor Anthony Kidman Cruise

Connor was also raised in the Church of Scientology after being adopted in 1995.

Cruise and Kidman’s adult son is active on social media and has documented his fishing trips, his new buzzcut hairstyle and more.

Over the years, Connor and his dad have been photographed on rare outings.

The duo watched basketball games together in Connor’s younger years, and have more recently been spotted boarding a helicopter and hanging out on the “Jack Reacher” set.

Suri Cruise

Holmes gave birth to Suri in 2006 and has maintained a close bond with her daughter.

The “Dawson’s Creek” alum told Town & Country in 2017 that she provides the little one with a “stable and innocent” childhood .

Cruise, however, still has “no part” of his youngest child’s life , a source exclusively told Page Six in March 2022.

In a 2012 defamation lawsuit against Bauer Media, the “Jerry Maguire” star said he didn’t see Suri for three months after his and Holmes’ breakup.

“Listen, when there is a divorce … things change,” Cruise said. “It’s not an ideal situation.”

Ex-Scientologist Leah Remini has asserted that Cruise “can’t be connected” to Suri because Holmes is considered a “suppressive person” or “enemy” in the religion.

Tom Cruise Will Reportedly Take ‘No Part’ In Daughter Suri’s Upcoming Big Life Choice

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

Where did time go? It feels like yesterday that Suri Cruise was toddling around New York City with her mom, Katie Holmes. Now, the almost-17-year-old is starting the college process, but there is one person missing from this rite of passage: Tom Cruise.

Her dad “has no part” in Suri’s life after Holmes pulled off the surprise divorce on the Top Gun star in 2012, according to a Daily Mail source. The former Dawson’s Creek actress is close with her only child and she’s pleased that her daughter is “leaning towards” staying in Manhattan and pursuing a career in fashion. “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,” the insider shared. “Katie takes great pride in her but is also extremely overprotective.” And like any mom with a teen leaving the nest, Holmes is “overwhelmed” with mixed emotions.

The father and daughter have not seen each other since 2013 which was one year after his divorce from Holmes. The 44-year-old actress reportedly (and abruptly) ended the marriage because she did not want Suri to be raised in the Church of Scientology . Despite their estranged relationship, Tom is apparently holding up his financial end of their split and will be covering Suri’s college tuition even as his $400,000 a month child support payments end when she turns 18.

Tom has already missed out on many of his youngest daughter’s major life moments , and it looks like high school graduation will be added to that list. However, Holmes has raised “a very intelligent mature” young woman and has “always put Suri first.”

Tom Cruise Once Hinted Why He's Estranged From His Daughter Suri

Tom Cruise has long been tightlipped about anything that happens in his personal life, but his experience with fatherhood has been an exception, particularly with regard to his youngest child, Suri Cruise . Way back when, the "Mission Impossible" star was bursting at the seams with excitement for the birth of the only child  he shares with ex Katie Holmes , resulting in the revelation that he purchased a $200,000 sonogram machine so he could see her anytime he wanted.

"I'm a filmmaker — I need to see the rushes," he told GQ at the time (via Hollywood ). "At first we did it a lot. I don't know how many times, but I did not exceed FDA (Food and Drug Administration) regulations." When Suri was finally born, Tom expressed profound awe. "It [the birth] was everything that we wanted it to be. It was spiritual. It was powerful. It was indescribable," he shared with  "20/20" reporter Deborah Roberts . "What words can you use? It's still something that I'm processing and keep reliving."

However, the dynamic between Tom and Suri experienced a dramatic shift over the years since his highly publicized split from Holmes, resulting in a strained and distant relationship with Suri. In a surprising revelation, the actor asserted that his affiliation with the Church of Scientology played a big part in the estrangement.

Tom Cruise's ties to Scientology got in the way

The intricacies surrounding Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' divorce remain a mystery to this day, but rampant speculation has repeatedly suggested that it had something to do with Cruise's deep ties with Scientology. Knowing that she couldn't escape the shackles of religion if she were to approach the split the conventional way, the "Dawson's Creek" alum reportedly decided to blindside her ex-husband with divorce filings instead and go off the grid with Suri.

Interestingly, this isn't something Cruise has explicitly denied. During his deposition in his $50 million libel suit against a media outfit that alleged he abandoned Suri, he was pressed on whether Holmes left him "in part to protect Suri from Scientology" (via HuffPost ). The "Top Gun" star was backed into a corner then, so he had no choice but to respond: "Did she say that? That was one of the assertions, yes." However, he countered by asserting, "There is no need to protect my daughter from my religion," rendering the point essentially moot.

Tom Cruise reportedly hasn't seen Suri in years

Despite the abrupt nature of their split, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes finalized their divorce in record time. The former couple only took 11 days to iron out the kinks in their separation with Holmes getting sole custody of Suri and $400,000 a year in child support payments until Suri turns 18 — though Cruise was granted ample visitation options.

But he has reportedly never fully utilized his visitation privileges, and initially he chalked it up to the complications of his divorce from Holmes. "Listen, where there is a divorce — if you look at this also in terms of Suri coming to me and certain agreements that you have, when a divorce occurs things change," he said in the deposition (via Radar Online ). "And it's more complicated, as everyone knows when that is, when that occurs, and there are certain agreements; now you have to ask for permission and organize schedules to make things happen. So it wasn't — it's not an ideal scene. It's not an ideal situation."

Unfortunately, it continued over the years, and his relationship with Suri is practically non-existent to this day. A source confirmed with  Page Six that the actor has "no part" in his daughter's life, and this will likely persist as long as he's deeply embedded in Scientology, as the organization prohibits its adherents from associating with former members. "This is his loss, his issue, his problem," another source said. "He must be really brainwashed."

Tom Cruise Has Completely Abandoned His Daughter And Hasnt Seen Her In A Decade?

Tom Cruise does not have a relationship with his daughter, Suri, allegedly because of Scientology.

By Sckylar Gibby-Brown | Updated 11 months ago

While Tom Cruise is perfectly willing to ditch the Oscars to join Michael Caine in birthday celebrations, it seems that’s not the only thing the Top Gun: Maverick star has abandoned. According to The Daily Mail , Cruise has not spoken to his daughter Suri in over a decade because of his ties to the Church of Scientology. However, despite his estranged relationship with Suri, the actor will still pay for her college tuition.

Tom Cruise shares his daughter Suri with his ex-wife Katie Holmes, although he hasn’t seen the 16-year-old girl in a decade, a year after Cruise and Holmes got divorced in 2012. Now in high school, Suri has begun applying for colleges, and though Cruise will have to pay for her entire college tuition, the Mission: Impossible actor has no say in where his daughter will go. According to The Daily Mail’s source, who is apparently close to Holmes, Cruise has “no part” in Suri’s life, as they haven’t spoken in 10 years, and Suri doesn’t watch Cruise’s movies. 

Seemingly, the rift between father and daughter happened when Suri was six years old. Like Nicole Kidman , Holmes divorced Tom Cruise because of his ties to Scientology, and Holmes didn’t want to raise their daughter in the church that Cruise is famously dedicated to. While Holmes did study Scientology and was a member of the church at one point, despite being raised Catholic, the actress left the church when she divorced Cruise, refusing to have her daughter raised in the controversial religion. 

While the divorce agreement forced Tom Cruise to have a financial hand in Suri’s life, the actor has not maintained a relationship with his daughter. According to the divorce, Cruise has had to send $400,000 in child support to Holmes every year in addition to paying for all of Suri’s medical costs. Now that Suri is applying for colleges (she is looking to study either fashion or music in New York City), the divorce settlement says that Cruise must cover all tuition costs as well. 

Self-described “Cult Whistleblower” Samantha Domingo wrote a book exposing the secrets of Scientology and discussed in an interview with US Weekly how Tom Cruise was not allowed to have a relationship with Suri because she is not a Scientologist. According to Domingo, the Church doesn’t acknowledge Suri as Cruise’s daughter since she doesn’t share the same religion. Instead, Suri is seen as a “spiritual being in Tom’s daughter’s body.”

Evidently, Tom Cruise shares his religion’s beliefs about Suri because the actor has not attempted to maintain a relationship with her, despite remaining very close to his other children. During his marriage with Kidman, Cruise and Kidman adopted Isabella and Connor Cruise, both of whom were raised in the Church of Scientology , despite Kidman never being a member of the Church. Now, ages 30 and 28, respectively, both Isabella and Connor maintain a relationship with both of their parents. 

Although Suri grew up not knowing her famous father, Holmes claims that being raised by a single mother in New York had a major impact on who the young woman grew up to be. Described as “intelligent and mature,” Suri is talented in both fashion and music and sang part of the soundtrack for Holme’s 2022 rom-com, Alone Together.

The Heartbreaking Reason Why Tom Cruise Doesn’t Talk to His Daughter Suri

It appears that Tom Cruise has had a few encounters with his daughter, Suri, following his divorce from Katie Holmes . Currently, Suri resides with her actress mom in New York City, under her full custody. The last known public outing of Suri with her father was nearly ten years ago in 2012, during a visit to Disneyland, so we decided to find out what happened to their relationship.

The daughter of tom cruise lives in new york with her actress mother.

Suri Cruise looked so grown up on Wednesday when she she was captured heading on vacation with her mother, Katie Holmes  from New York. 

The mother-daughter duo were pictured getting into a car with their luggage as they headed off for the Easter weekend. Suri's beautiful long hair took centre stage of the pre-holiday snaps. The 17-year-old donned a pair of fabulously vibrant red trousers covered in white swirls, a corduroy navy blue jacket with a shearling collar and black trainers. 

Meanwhile, mom Katie oozed glamour wearing an oversized army-green jacket and beige trousers. The actress slipped on a pair of dark sunglasses, and opted for a pair of chunky black sandals for footwear.

The mother-daughter trip came just weeks before Suri turns 18 on April 18. Katie is exceptionally private about her daughter, and whether or not she will go to college has yet to be revealed. 

However, Suri has been involved in two of her mother's movies, Alone Together and Rare Objects, where she can be heard showing off her impressive singing voice.

Therefore, it is likely that the youngster may want to follow in her movie star parent's footsteps for a career in Hollywood.  Listen to Suri's incredible vocals in the video below.

Prior to their latest appearance in New York, the duo were spotted back in December for  Katie's 45th birthday celebrations.  The pair couldn't have looked more similar in the photos.

Katie looked effortlessly glamorous,  sporting a grey and black leopard print maxi dress, which she paired with classic white boots. 

Meanwhile, Suri was wrapped in a cozy grey tweed coat, oversized maroon scarf and black pointed-toe heels.

He does however pay £400,000 a year in child support which will come to an end when she turns 18 in April.

The former couple had a whirlwind romance and were engaged in June 2005, two months after they started dating. They welcomed Suri one year later. The pair split in August 2012.

Katie and Suri couldn't be closer and Katie has previously opened up about becoming a mother at 27: "I was happy to become a mom in my twenties. 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," she told Elle UK.

Tom Cruise hào phóng với đồng nghiệp

Tài tử Tom Cruise, 62 tuổi, thường tặng bánh cho đồng nghiệp hàng năm, hay chia sẻ kinh nghiệm đóng cảnh hành động với đàn em.

Theo ET ngày 9/4, Kirsten Dunst, 42 tuổi, cho biết Tom Cruise vẫn giữ thói quen tặng bánh cho cô vào Giáng sinh sau 30 năm đóng chung Interview With the Vampire (1994). Chồng của nghệ sĩ - diễn viên Jesse Plemons từng hợp tác sao Top Gun trong American Made (2017) - cũng có phần, đó là chiếc bánh kem dừa trị giá 126 USD của hãng Doan's Bakery.

Daily Mail cho biết Tom Cruise thường gửi bánh đến nhiều diễn viên, MC, đạo diễn, nhân viên làm phim và nhà báo vào dịp cuối năm. Những người nhận đều vui vẻ với món quà, khen đây là bánh ngon nhất họ từng ăn. Tom Hanks đùa rằng sẽ chọn đồ ngọt của Tom Cruise làm bữa ăn cuối cùng nếu phải nhận án tử hình.

Hồi tháng 12/2021, nhiều hãng đưa tin diễn viên cho phi cơ riêng vận chuyển 300 bánh đến các thành viên của đoàn phim Mission: Impossible 7 . Một nguồn tin nói với The Sun : "Tom muốn tặng quà cho êkíp và quyết định chọn bánh từ tiệm yêu thích của anh ở Los Angeles".

Phỏng vấn với Yahoo vào năm 2020, Eric Doan - chủ tiệm Doan's Bakery - biết ơn tài tử vì giúp doanh nghiệp tránh nguy cơ đóng cửa do Covid-19. "Chúng tôi sống sót qua giai đoạn dịch bệnh nhờ những đơn hàng của anh ấy, chúng giúp hãng bánh hoạt động suốt nhiều năm", Karen - con trai của Eric, đồng quản lý hiệu bánh - nói thêm.

Bên cạnh thói quen gửi bánh cho đồng nghiệp, Tom Cruise cũng thích tặng quà. Tài tử từng tặng Kirsten Dunst một chiếc ấm đất sét có chức năng lọc nước, theo Daily Mail . Năm 2016, Dakota Fanning nói với tờ Time Cruise luôn tặng quà sinh nhật cho cô hàng năm, kể từ lúc Fanning 11 tuổi. Simon Pegg, diễn viên đóng cùng Tom Cruise trong Mission Impossible 3, cho biết bạn diễn từng mời dàn diễn viên lặn ngắm cá mập tại vùng biển gần phim trường trong giờ nghỉ ngơi.

"Cruise cực kỳ hào phóng trong cách bày tỏ lòng biết ơn, cho chúng tôi thấy anh đánh giá cao công sức của mọi người", Simon Pegg nói với Daily Mail .

Theo nguồn tin, Tom Cruise còn tặng những bài học nhảy dù cho Pom Klementieff - đóng vai sát thủ trong Mission Impossible - như một món quà. "Anh tìm giáo viên hướng dẫn, giúp tôi có được chứng chỉ. Cả hai còn luyện tập cùng nhau", Klementieff nói. Không chỉ bạn diễn, Tom Cruise cũng nhiệt tình với đàn em. Phỏng vấn với GQ Magazine năm 2023, Timothée Chamalet cho biết Tom Cruise từng gửi cho anh một email chi tiết về lời khuyên luyện tập diễn cảnh hành động, thông tin các chuyên gia lái môtô, trực thăng sau khi đóng máy Dune 1 .

Tom Cruise , sinh năm 1962, có biệt danh "người không tuổi" ở Hollywood, ngoại hình không thay đổi nhiều theo thời gian. Diễn viên không sử dụng mạng xã hội, ít chia sẻ về cuộc sống riêng từ sau vụ ly hôn ồn ào với Katie Holmes năm 2012. Theo Forbes , nghệ sĩ có thu nhập cao thứ ba trong 10 sao Hollywood kiếm tiền nhiều nhất 2023.

Anh trải qua ba cuộc hôn nhân. Người vợ đầu tiên là Mimi Rogers, cả hai bên nhau từ năm 1987 đến 1990. Sau đó, anh cưới Nicole Kidman vào năm 1990, ly hôn năm 2001. Diễn viên kết hôn Katie Holmes kém anh 17 tuổi năm 2006 và có con gái Suri, hiện 17 tuổi. Tháng 6/2012, Katie đột ngột ly hôn với tài tử và giành quyền nuôi con. Một số nguồn tin cho rằng cuộc hôn nhân tan vỡ vì Tom Cruise "cuồng" giáo phái Scientology, Katie không muốn Suri bị cuốn theo tín ngưỡng của bố.
