Tom Cruise Has Been Using Height Illusion Tricks for Years to Looker Taller Than Everyone Else

Tom Cruise is literally at the height of his career. The actor sent social media ablaze last night with a torrent of comment about his height when he was seen curiously taller than ever alongside Kate Middleton , Duchess of Cambridge, in London at the premiere of “Top Gun: Maverick.”

Cruise, who stands at 5-foot-7, was nearly eye-to-eye on the red carpet with 5-foot-9 Middleton in Prada ‘s suede cutout pumps set on 3-inch stiletto heels — boosting Middleton’s height to 6 feet tall. What a feat for the action star.

With or without them, Cruise has walked tall for years alongside actresses clad in soaring stiletto heels by embracing astute styling tricks for grand height illusion. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with embracing one’s true height, but Cruise has a history of purposefully looking taller — he likely believes it’s a flattering silhouette that puts confidence in his steps.

Indeed. He has mastered this height hack through subtle, carefully coordinated poses along with the right clothes and shoes.

Cruise’s ex-wife Nicole Kidman , who measures 5-foot-10, was perhaps the most challenging of his red carpet partners, but together, they masterfully erected him throughout their marriage.

Just look to their arrival at the Herb Ritts exhibition opening on Oct. 22, 1992. The couple posed with their heads close together, with Kidman’s head leaning lower into him to deflect from the obvious height difference. Meanwhile, Kidman chose a modest kitten heel compared to Cruise’s taller Cuban heel. Nailed it.

During his marriage to Katie Holmes , who is 5-foot-9, there were plenty of red carpet challenges despite the “Dawson’s Creek” star coming in 1-inch shorter than Kidman. But unlike Kidman, Holmes didn’t embrace kitten heels often — she preferred stilettos around 4 inches. But, by leaving some space between their bodies and Cruise leading ahead of her as they walked hand-in-hand at the Bambi Awards in 2007 in Duesseldorf, Germany, the height differences were minimized as much as possible.

At the “Knight and Day” premiere in Seville, Spain, on June 16, 2010 he literally took things up a notch in heeled boots that added around 2 extra inches. They looked nearly even while she stood in 4-inch heels.

It’s not often Cruise gets the chance to look taller than his leading ladies, but he did so next to his “Top Gun: Maverick” co-star Jennifer Connelly, who is on equal footing with him, matching at 5-foot-7. Even with Connelly in heels, he managed to gain a fairly generous boost above her while at the Cannes Film Festival on May 18. As seen in his pose, Cruise diminishes the appearance of his width by standing to his side and positioning his body at an angle as she stood vertically and straight ahead. The stacked heels helped too.

These celebrity couples past and present prove that height difference should never get in the way of romance

By Ali Pantony and Tanyel Mustafa

You know the saying: "tall, dark and handsome". That first criteria can be pretty attractive to some people, but for others, it can lead to feelings of insecurity – unfortunately, our height is yet another aspect of our appearances which can make us feel inadequate as a result of societal pressures.

That's why we love to see celebrity couples challenging height stigma and not letting something as superficial as height gap get in the way of love.

In these famous current and former relationships , we've got a mix of couples, some with a man being the tallest – which society tells us is more 'acceptable' when it comes to straight relationships – and others where the woman is taller.

By Elle Turner

The latter gets some stigma in our society, even still today. But really, what does height matter? These celebs are proving the answer to that question is very little. How about we just live and let live, and not worry so much about who is tallest in the relationship - just like these A-listers?

Some of our most striking couple picks from over the years: Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster (who towers over at 6"1, which is just one reason why she is an excellent model), Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman (OK, we know they're no more, but who could forget this former power couple?), Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds (Scarlett is 5"4), and Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus (now both having firmly moved on, it's so though that gap was reflected in their height difference). Some of our matches have the best part of a foot between them – proving that love comes in all shapes and sizes.

How Tall Is Tom Cruise? Exact Height Revealed

Tom Cruise continues to be the quintessential Hollywood movie star everyone just adores. Not only does he have the looks and the talent for it, but he’s also got the spirit to keep wowing audiences worldwide with his physical ability and creative skills. He is truly larger than life. But how tall is Tom Cruise, actually?

Tom Cruise’s height is 5 feet 7 inches or 1.7 m (170 cm). 

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tom Cruise (@tomcruise)

While he’s never openly admitted to it, Tom Cruise wears lifts sometimes in order to appear taller. After all, he has played roles that are supposed to be taller than his actual height. He’s also been romantically involved with women who were taller than him.

Tom as Jack Reacher

Tom and the production team received a good deal of criticism when it was revealed that he would be playing the titular character in the 2012 movie. Fans of the Jack Reacher books found it odd for Cruise to be playing the role because of one key thing: height.

Jack Reacher was originally written as a big man, an imposing presence at 6 feet 5 inches. With Tom Cruise standing at under 6 feet, the disparity is hard to ignore. Even author Lee Child was concerned by the height difference and how the fans of the books would receive the Cruise-lead movies. 

What Is Tom Cruise’s Daily Routine?

Where does tom cruise live, where did tom cruise grow up.

Despite the negative reaction, Tom went on to make two Jack Reacher movies: Jack Reacher in 2012 and its sequel, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back in 2016. Both movies were considered successful at the box office. 

Does Tom Cruise date taller women?

With so much material out there about Tom Cruise and his love life over the years, you’d know by now that he was previously married–three times, to be precise. His ex-wives are all actresses, with two out of three taller than him.

Mimi Rogers

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mimi Rogers (@m_rogers12)

Tom was married to Mimi Rogers from 1987 to 1990. They met around 1986-87 and started dating right away, which eventually led to marriage. They had nothing but great things to say about each other while they were together but then the union fizzled out by 1989. Their divorce was finalized in 1990. Mimi Rogers shares the same height as her ex-hubby.

Nicole Kidman

The Tom Cruise-Nicole Kidman marriage was one of the most iconic pairings during the 1990s not only for their A-list celebrity status but for their obvious height difference. Nicole Kidman towers at nearly 5 feet 11 inches , which makes her significantly taller than Tom.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cinema✨ (@theworldofcinemaa)

The former power couple met on the set of Days Of Thunder , in which they played on-screen lovers. The chemistry was palpable from the start, with Nicole sharing in one interview that Tom swept her off her feet and she instantly fell in love.  

Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise were married for 11 years (1990-2001). They share two adopted children together, Isabella and Connor Cruise .

Katie Holmes

Tom Cruise’s most highly publicized marriage, arguably because of the internet and social media, was with Katie Holmes . They were married for six years, from 2006 to 2012.

They, too have a height difference – Katie’s approximately 5’9”, taller than Tom by a couple of inches – and an age gap as well. Tom Cruise, who was born in 1962 , is 16 years older than Katie Holmes, who was born in 1978. She was 27 when they got married in Italy; he was 44 at the time.

Many controversies swirled around their marriage, one of which related to Tom Cruise’s involvement with The Church of Scientology . It has been widely speculated that this was the main reason for their divorce in 2012. 

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise share one biological child together, Suri. 

Does size really matter?

Does height matter in becoming a well-respected Hollywood star like Tom Cruise? Or is he in a league all on his own? 

While there are no actors in Hollywood that come close to Tom Cruise’s achievements, skills, and star quality, he’s not all alone in being an A-list actor under 6 feet. Men’s Health listed 40 , but we’ll mention just a few so you can get the picture: 

Al Pacino (5’7”)

Robert Downey Jr. (5’8½”)

George Clooney (5’11”)

Joaquin Phoenix (5’8″)

Sylvester Stallone (5’9½”)

Johnny Depp (5′ 10″)

Katie Holmes

• Born December 18 , 1978 · Toledo, Ohio, USA
• Birth name Kate Noelle Holmes
• Height 5′ 9″ (1.75 m)
• Born two months premature at four pounds, Kate Noelle Holmes made her first appearance on December 18, 1978, in Toledo, Ohio. She is the daughter of Kathleen Ann (Craft), a philanthropist, and Martin Joseph Holmes, Sr., a lawyer. She is of German, Irish, and English ancestry. Her parents have said that her strong-willed personality is probably due to her early birth. Being the youngest in the Holmes clan, completing the family of three other sisters and one brother, Katie was always the baby. As a teenager, she began attending modeling school. When she was sixteen, her teacher invited her to go to a modeling competition with other girls from her class. She competed in the International Modeling and Talent Association by singing, dancing, and reciting a monologue from To Kill a Mockingbird (1962) . By the end of that time in New York, Katie won many awards. But she said she didn't want to model because it wasn't challenging enough. So when she was seventeen, Katie went to Los Angeles to audition for movies. Luckily, on her second audition, she was cast in the movie, The Ice Storm (1997) , directed by Ang Lee . Katie's character was Libbets Casey, a rich New Yorker, who is pursued by two of the main characters. It was a small part, but it marked the beginning of her professional acting career. After the excitement of her first movie, Katie began sending in audition tapes for pilot shows. During that time, she was also starring in her all-girls Catholic high school musical, Damn Yankees, as Lola. After Kevin Williamson received her audition tape for his new show, Dawson's Creek (1998) , the producers wanted her to come to Hollywood right away and read live for them. But because they wanted her to come on the opening night for Damn Yankees, Katie had to tell them she couldn't make it. Fortunately, the show's producers wanted her so much for that role, they rescheduled her callback and the result was she got the part as Joey Potter. During her first year with Dawson's Creek (1998) , Katie was able to do two movies, Disturbing Behavior (1998) and Go (1999) , and, for the former, she won Best Breakthrough Female Performance at the 1999 MTV Movie Awards. The following year, she starred next to Michael Douglas in Wonder Boys (2000) , playing Hannah Green, a published author and a boarder at her teacher's (Douglas) house, who has a crush on him, and tries to seduce him. Her first leading role came in 2002, with Abandon (2002) . She played a college student named Katie Burke, who is haunted by the mysterious disappearance of her boyfriend who vanished two years prior. With Dawson's Creek (1998) coming to a close after six years in May of 2003, it was a bittersweet moment for all the cast. Accustomed to being in North Carolina filming ten months out of a year, the cast members now had the opportunity to make more movies. Katie demonstrated this in October, when she had two new movies, Pieces of April (2003) and The Singing Detective (2003) , coming out in that month alone. Pieces of April (2003) is a charming Thanksgiving movie about April (Holmes), the black sheep of her family, who wants to give her family the perfect dinner before her mother passes on. The Singing Detective (2003) is a dark musical where the main character ( Robert Downey Jr. ) was a writer in a hospital for skin conditions who writes a dark world of seduction and murder in his mind. Katie Holmes played the kind Nurse Mills who tends to his every need. She also gets to lip sync and dance in this movie. In 2004, she starred in the romantic movie First Daughter (2004) , in which she played the President's ( Michael Keaton ) daughter, Samantha, who wants to go to college without any Secret Service tagging along. In 2005, Holmes co-starred in Batman Begins (2005) , where she played Rachel Dawes, a childhood sweetheart and love interest to Batman/Bruce Wayne.

Tom Cruise’s Height: The Secrets He Uses to Look Taller

American actor and producer Tom Cruise , standing at 5ft 7 ¾ (172.1 cm), is best known for being one of the highest-paying actors in the world , with an estimated net worth of $600 million .

Starring in classic films such as Mission: Impossible, Top Gun , and Rain Man, this actor has undoubtedly gained much attention from around the globe.

While Cruise has stood proud with his vast array of awards and recognition, including nominations for three Academy Awards, a British Academy Film Award, and three Golden Globe Awards, this well-known Hollywood star has still magnetized attention, focusing on his apparent lack of height.

There has been much discussion over how tall Tom Cruise actually is. So, read on to learn more about this topic and delve into this intriguing discussion!

Tom Cruise: Fun Facts About the Top Gun Star

How tall is tom cruise.

Despite being commonly listed as 5’7″, Tom Cruise is actually believed to stand at 5ft 7 ¾ (172.1 cm). Interestingly, in the 1980s, he was often cited as being 5’8” or even 5’9”.

Indeed, in 1988, Cruise stated that he stood at 5’9” and weighed 147 pounds. Many observed him to have an average stature in terms of height and build. However, it was his striking blue eyes and captivating grin that distinguished him from others in the film world.

However, being sighted next to other actors, actresses, and romantic partners has helped uncover the extent of how short this actor really is in this industry.

Despite this, Cruise hasn’t allowed this factor to emasculate him, tackling his career head-on in various captivating and memorable roles.

Tom Cruise’s Height: A Topic of Discussion

With the average male height standing at around 5’9” , many often point out the difference in Cruise’s height to others around him, especially when he is surrounded by over 6-foot-tall bodyguards who appear to dwarf him.

While shorter than the average male, this physicality hasn’t held Cruise back in his career, where he has stolen the show across decades of filmmaking.

Cruise has shown that he can work with a wide range of people, even if there is a much taller actress.

Tom Cruise and His Taller Partners

Having dated many women standing taller than average , Tom Cruise’s ex-wife, American-born Australian actress Nicole Kidman , is just one of these women.

Within the film industry herself, Kidman wore incredibly flat shoes while filming Days of Thunder , yet the height difference between herself and Cruise was still very distinguishable.

“They had me in really flat shoes, but you could still see I was taller than him. I’d prefer to be smaller, but I don’t mind. I like the fact that he’s one of the most famous actors in the world and can work with anybody – but he doesn’t mind working with an actress who’s taller,” Kidman said about filming the 1990 American sports action drama film.

After the couple’s divorce , Kidman soon joked that she could wear high heels again without the height drawing too much attention.

With Cruise’s other ex-wife, Katie Holmes , also standing taller than her husband at 5’9”, it’s obvious that Cruise has had a history of getting used to his less-than-average height.

With this in mind, Cruise’s first official partner was Mimi Rogers, standing 2 inches taller than him at 5’9”. Famous American singer Cher also took Cruise’s fancy, displaying this actor’s love for taller and older women.

Therefore, while many factors stand in the way of modern relationships, it appears that Cruise puts love first when it comes to coupling up.

Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt

There has been much speculation that Cruise has invested in shoe lifts or elevated boots to look taller while beside Brad Pitt in Interview with the Vampire .

During filming, Cruise stood on platforms when standing next to Pitt in certain scenes. The production team always tried to devise innovative solutions to reduce the height difference between Cruise at 5’7” and Pitt at 5’11”.

Therefore, they cleverly dug ditches for Pitt to stand in while acting in scenes opposite Cruise.

Considering the improvisations and techniques that the team had to carry out to reduce the noticeable height differences between the two actors, it’s impressive that the film turned out so well to stand the test of time.

Tom Cruise’s Height Controversy

Therefore, while much discussion has been about one of the biggest celebrities in Hollywood’s less-than-average height, Tom Cruise doesn’t allow his co-workers and partners to diminish his overall performance and success.

As a Golden Globe award-winning actor, Tom Cruise’s success in Hollywood is undeniable. Despite his perceived lack of height, Cruise has consistently demonstrated a willingness to work alongside actors and actresses of various sizes.

This has showcased his versatility as an actor and helped him maintain his position as one of the most successful stars in the industry.

His dedication to his craft and his astute fashion sense have allowed him to overcome any perceived physical limitations and carve a fortune in his acting career.

With heads constantly turning in Cruise’s direction, his radiating confidence and flashing smile have helped him draw attention for the right reasons.

Katie Holmes Celebrates 33rd Birthday at Buddakan in Aladdin-Esque Jumpsuit

Accompanied by her parents, husband Tom Cruise, and daughter Suri, on December 18, 2011, Katie Holmes celebrated her 33rd birthday at the upscale restaurant Buddakan in New York City.

Katie Holmes, whose birth name is Kate Noelle Holmes, was born on December 18, 1978, in Toledo, Ohio, U.S. She is of German, Irish, and English ethnicity.

Wearing an Aladdin-esque black jumpsuit with white lace sleeves, Katie Holmes seemingly wanted to match the restaurant’s modern Asian theme that night.

She completed her outfit with a pair of Rodarte for Opening Ceremony t-strap heels . They didn’t really go with her outfit, but thankfully, they went with its black-and-white theme.

These pumps with those harem pants look really jarring. But on their own and cropped as in the picture above, you can see that these t-strap pumps are actually quite stylish.

T-straps always have that retro vibe to them, but when made in black and white and finished off with a cap toe, they really go a few eras back.

Black and white t-straps would look really interesting as part of an office wardrobe and when worn with pencil skirts or tailored suits. They’d also look great paired with floral a-line dresses or one of those 40s-style dresses from the Miu Miu Fall 2011 collection .

With the stiletto heel and the pointy toe, these Manolo Blahnik t-strap pumps have a sexier vibe. But the perforations and the black and white colors keep things retro. There’s also a very subtle wingtip design right at the toe:

For something a bit more vintage, we love this design from Marc Jacobs.

How would you wear a pair of retro t-strap pumps?

Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise enjoy NYC stroll after her 18th birthday as Tom estrangement continues

Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise took it easy on a stroll around New York - after celebrating her milestone 18th birthday last week.

Suri, whose dad is Hollywood legend Tom Cruise , looked just like her mother as they enjoyed a spring walk. Stylish Suri looked cool in a floaty print-dress with a denim jacket.

Katie oozed cool in flared bell-bottom denim jeans and paired it with a cozy jumper. The mother-and-daughter duo clutched the beverages and munched on snacks as they strolled around.

Their outing comes a week after it was revealed Suri had reached her milestone birthday and was now an adult. The youngster, who is estranged from her father Tom Cruise, turned 18 last Thursday and marked the special occasion by picking up flowers at a local shop before uniting with Katie.

Suri opted for an all-denim outfit and rocked a makeup look which was made popular by her mum in the 90s. Katie famously played Joey Potter on The WB, with her character favouring a red-brown lip. Suri copied the look for her birthday outing and pulled her hair back into a loose braid. Suri carried around a giant bouquet of pink and white flowers and a cup of coffee as she was seen chatting with a friend. The birthday girl added a loose burgundy cardigan and oversized denim jacket to complete her look.

Suri is believed to have spent some of her birthday with her mum Katie at their home in New York. The youngster is currently estranged from her dad and has lived away from him for more than a decade.

"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 the Daily Mail . Meanwhile fans will recall reports that claimed Katie had undergone a 'silent birth' with Suri, according to a rumoured Scientology recommendation for a quiet environment during childbirth.

Tom was known for being one of the world's most famous Scientologists, and many believed Katie may have complied to its rules during their marriage. However, despite claims of Katie's 'silent birth,' Tom insisted it was the opposite. He revealed his then fiancee Katie would be allowed to scream throughout her labour.

The Mission Impossible star tried to justify his Scientology beliefs with US talk show host Diane Sawyer. He told her: "It's basically just respecting the mother and helping to be quiet. Not the mother. The mother makes as much noise...and people.. you know, she's going through it. She does what she's gotta do. Ok??"

Tom hit headlines last week for being the life and soul of Victoria Beckham's grand birthday party. Tom reportedly dropped down into the splits while attending Victoria Beckham 's 50th birthday party. The Top Gun actor, 61, showed off his ageless and athletic side as he did the splits while at the star-studded party, which was held at the private members club Oswald's in London's Mayfair. Tom is said to have breakdanced in front of the birthday girl and the famous guests in attendance.

New Photo Of Suri Cruise Makes Clear She's Beating Dad Tom's Height

Since she entered this world in April 2006, the media has been fascinated by Suri Cruise, the daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise. Katie and Tom tied the knot in 2006 and ended their marriage in 2012. However, since the divorce,  Suri reportedly does not have a relationship with her father . Per  Page Six , this is due to Tom's connection with the Church of Scientology. Suri and Holmes, on the other hand, are two peas in a pod. Although Holmes prefers to keep her daughter out of the media, this hasn't stopped her from gushing about her in various interviews.

Speaking to  InStyle  in 2020, Holmes opened up about what it's like raising Suri and said, "I love her so much. 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."

Suri turned 17 in April 2023 and  has transformed  from a toddler in heels into a beautiful young woman. That said, Suri shares many similar physical traits with Holmes, and she seems to have inherited her mother's height.

Suri Cruise is all grown up

In the exclusive photo above, Suri Cruise looks casual in a pair of gray sweatpants, sneakers, and a zip-up sweater. With her long legs, Suri is clearly on the taller side. In April 2023,  Suri and her mother, Katie Holmes, were pictured side by side at the Los Angeles International Airport . Suri's exact height is unknown, but it appears that she and Holmes are around the same height, and in some of the photos, she looms slightly over Holmes. Holmes is said to be 5 feet, 9 inches tall, meaning that both she and Suri are taller than Tom Cruise, who is reportedly 5 foot 7.

With Tom having little involvement in her upbringing, Suri lives a lowkey life in New York City with Holmes and will be heading to college soon. A source told the  Daily Mail  that Suri wants to study fashion and said, "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."

Like her parents, the teenager has dabbled in the entertainment industry. Suri's singing voice can be heard in the two films Holmes directed, "Alone Together" and "Rare Objects." Holmes discussed this with  Glamour  and said, "I hope she always does something on my films." She also noted, "It was very meaningful to me to have her there because she's my heart."

We Can't Get Over Suri Cruise's Incredible Height Transformation

Suri Cruise has been a household name since before she was born. As the daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Suri  inevitably grew up in the public eye. And she has done a lot of growing, seemingly surpassing  Tom in height . But we got to see a lot more of her when she was little, as she became the object of intense interest as part of the media's obsession with her parents' whirlwind relationship. After all, she was born about a year after Tom and Holmes started dating in April 2005. 

Before she could even sit up, 5-month-old Suri was gracing the cover of Vanity Fair donning Dior socks. Back then, Tom and Holmes had no issues gushing over their child, each blaming her cute traits on the other. "She has Kate's lips and eyes," he said. "I think she looks like Kate." the "Dawson's Creek" alum disagreed. "I think she has Tom's eyes," she said. "I think she looks like Tom." But things have changed a whole lot since the good ol' TomKat days.

Following Tom and Holmes' messy divorce in 2012, Suri largely retreated from the spotlight. She has her mom to thank for that. "She was so visible at a young age," she told Glamour in 2023. After the interest in Holmes' marriage to Tom dwindled, she attempted to change that. "I really like to protect her," she said. However, glimpses of Suri have been captured over the years, showing she grew up to be tall.

The media was obsession with little Suri

Constantly photographed with Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, Suri Cruise was captured in many a candid moment, like having a taste of rainwater in New York in February 2010, as seen above. And if you're wondering if her parents were responsible for the 4-year-old's choice of red coat over a dress with tights, you'd be wrong. "Whatever she wants to wear, she wears it ... She's got great taste, too. She tells me what to wear," Tom told Oprah in May 2010.

While the interest in Suri was overwhelming, they made the best of the situation. "We don't get nervous about it. You get used to it after so long," Tom said. He believed it was inevitable to expose Suri to the reality of her parents' lives. "We're raising her to — you know... protecting her, but also you don't want her to be sheltered in any way," he said in 2009, according to  RTE .

Tom and Holmes clearly had differing views on parenting. She wanted Suri to have a childhood similar to her own. "I try to do what [my family] did for me for my little one," she previously said on the "Today" show, per  E! News . Tom, on the other hand, didn't seem to mind the attention being paid to his daughter. "It's both very flattering ... and you kind of go, 'It is what it is,'" he said on "The View" in 2009 (via People ).

Suri Cruise was still a tiny tot when her parents divorced

Suri Cruise may have stopped appearing in Annie Leibovitz's photoshoots by the time her parents divorced. Still, the 6-year-old continued to garner paparazzi attention wherever she was out and about with Katie Holmes, as seen above matching with her mom in New York in July 2012. Wearing a pink dress and red ballerina shoes, Suri stood past Holmes' waist, even though she had on heeled boots complementing her choice of pink shirt and skinny jeans.

While Suri was most often photographed next to her mother, she drew even more attention when she was seen with Tom Cruise. At least in the months that followed the split, Tom still spent time with Suri. On July 17, 2012, he flew to New York for his first known visit with Suri after he and Holmes settled their divorce the week before. The following day, Tom famously took Suri for a helicopter ride over the city for a memorable father-daughter time.

But those days were numbered. According to Us Weekly , Tom was last seen publicly with Suri in 2013, when she was 7. The reality away from the paparazzi cameras doesn't seem to be much different. Tom has reportedly not seen his daughter in more than a decade. "Every person is allowed to see their child if they wanted to," a source told the outlet, explaining he is entitled to see her for 10 days a month. "He chooses not to because she is not a Scientologist."

Suri Cruise started accompanying mom to events more often

As time went on and TomKat became old news, Katie Holmes seemingly felt more comfortable taking Suri Cruise to high-profile events. In September 2015, Holmes brought the then-9-year-old onto the stage to wave at the crowd before she gave her speech. Suri's brief appearance onstage showed how much she had grown in three years. Holmes barely had to bend her knees to get close to her daughter's face.

Earlier that year, Holmes had also taken Suri to the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, where mother and daughter had a blast throwing confetti around. A year later, Holmes also took Suri to see the Broadway musical "Finding Neverland" with her grandmother, Kathleen. That December, Holmes even shared a selfie featuring Suri on Instagram to mark her 38th birthday. It looks like Holmes found a happy medium between protecting her daughter's right to a normal(ish) childhood and her life as a public figure.

That's not to say Suri's relationship with Tom Cruise had stopped attracting attention. In June 2016, many were quick to note that Suri spent Father's Day in the company of her mother at Serafina East Hampton, though she didn't seem to mind. "Suri and her friends were playing, and running around the restaurant," a source told Page Six . Tom, for his part, spent Father's Day in Morocco, where he was shooting "The Mummy." Earlier that month marked 1,000 days since Tom had last seen his youngest kid.

At 12, Suri was communicating more with Tom Cruise

By December 2017, 12-year-old Suri Cruise showed she wasn't far from becoming a tall teenager. Suri showed off her height transformation at Z100's iHeartRadio Jingle Ball (as seen above). Even though Holmes, who is said to be 5 feet 9 inches, was still a bit taller, her preteen daughter still reached up to her shoulders. Suri had just turned 12 the previous April, a milestone that was said to have been missed by her father.

Suri reportedly hoped he would attend her party. "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, according to  YourTango . However, Cruise supposedly had wished her a happy birthday. "Suri gets a gift from Tom on her birthday every year and this year was no exception," an insider told Hollywood Life in April 2018.

By then, Tom was said to be trying to mend his relationship with Suri, taking steps to have a more active role in her upbringing. "Tom's been in contact with Suri more and more over the last few months and has made it clear that he wants to be part of her life again," a source told Grazia U.K. (via InTouch ). However, other sources indicated that Suri had made her peace with her father's absence by then. "[She] has to have accepted the fact that she's in a single-parent family," an insider told InTouch .

Suri Cruise is about as tall as Katie Holmes

As a full-fledged teenager, Suri Cruise looked a couple of inches shorter than Katie Holmes, as seen above arriving at the premiere of "In The Heights" on June 9, 2021, in New York City. Between then and 2024, she seems to have added another inch or two to her height. In  photos  taken in February 2024, just two months ahead of her 18th birthday, Suri looked about the same height as her mother, suggesting Tom Cruise's relatively short stature didn't bring down the average of his offspring. And by the looks of it, Suri has grown taller than him, who is said to be 5 feet 7 inches.

But the last couple of years didn't compare to the growth she experienced between 2018 and 2021. That's not unusual, though. Girls tend to have a growth spurt around the time they reach puberty, which is between 11 and 12 for most preteens, according to  Medical News Today . By the time of their 15th birthday, girls are expected to have reached their adult height, as seems to have been the case with Suri.

Holmes' height isn't the only thing Suri inherited from her. As observed since the days she told Tom what to wear, Suri is as into fashion as Holmes, known for her sleek street outfits. Suri even wants to pursue a career in fashion, a source told the  Daily Mail  in 2023. As per their  divorce settlement ,  Tom is expected to pay for Suri's college .

October 2004 A year after she’d left her defining role as Joey Potter on Dawson’s Creek , Holmes gives an interview to Seventeen magazine, in which she says, “I think every little girl dreams about (her wedding). I used to think I was going to marry Tom Cruise.”

April 2005 Katie meets Tom for the first time, ostensibly regarding a role in Mission: Impossible 3 .

STORY: Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes Divorcing 

April 27, 2005 The couple makes their new love public by appearing together in Rome, where Cruise had traveled to receive a David di Donatello Award for lifetime achievement. Both had major films ( War of the Worlds and Batman Begins ) coming out around the time, leading many to speculate the romance was a publicity stunt.

May 23, 2005 Cruise appears on The Oprah Winfrey Show and declares his love for Holmes, prompting him to punch the floor, grab Winfrey’s hands and, most memorably, jump on her couch with joy. He also pulls Holmes out from backstage. The appearance instantly becomes infamous, known as Cruise’s “couch jumping” episode.

June 13, 2005 Holmes converts from Catholicism to the Church of Scientology.

June 16, 2005 The couple announce their engagement, just shy of eight weeks from having first met. Cruise proposed to Holmes in Paris at the Eiffel Tower at a restaurant on the Tower’s second floor. He does not get on one knee, but he presents her with a ring reportedly containing a five-carat yellow diamond. She says yes. No date is announced.

June 24, 2005 Cruise and Matt Lauer face off for a heated argument on The Today Show over comments Cruise made criticizing Brooke Shields for using the anti-depressant drug Paxil to battle postpartum depression. Cruise calls Lauer “glib” in his defense of psychiatry as a real branch of medicine.

October 6, 2005 The couple, dubbed TomKat by the media, announce they are expecting a child.

December 1, 2005 Cruise purchases a sonogram machine to track his baby’s development, eliciting a warning from The Food and Drug Administration saying private use of a sonogram violates the law.

April 18, 2006 At Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, Calif., Holmes gives birth to a baby girl weighing 7 pounds, 7 ounces. They name her Suri . A statement from the couple on the significance of the name says Suri “is a word with origins in both Hebrew and Persian. In Hebrew, it means ‘princess’ and in Persian, ‘red rose.’”

November 18, 2006 At a lavish affair at the 15th-century Odescalchi Castle in Bracciano, Italy, the couple wed. Holmes wore a Giorgio Armani gown featuring an ivory skil train adorned with lace and Swarovski beaded crystals. Cruise wore a navy-blue tuxedo, also by Armani. Celebrities in attendance include Will and Jada Pinkett Smith , Jim Carrey , Jenna Elfman , Victoria and David Beckham , Jennifer Lopez and then-husband Marc Anthony , Jerry Bruckheimer and JJ Abrams .

August 22, 2006 Viacom chairman Sumner Redstone announces that Paramount Pictures is ending its 14-year relationship with Cruise, citing the damage done by his various public controversies to his box office viability.

January 15, 2008 An internal Scientology video featuring Cruise discussing what the Church means to him is leaked onto Gawker.com, and instantly goes viral. The video inspires scores of parodies.

August 14, 2008 Tropic Thunder opens, in which Cruise wears heavy makeup and a fat suit to play Les Grossman, an obnoxious, hip-hop-loving studio executive. His performance earns positive reviews, and is seen as a step towards improving Cruise’s public image.

September 21, 2009 Suri is photographed by paparazzi wearing high heels.

June 15, 2012 Cruise plays against type again, starring as Stacee Jaxx, a hair-metal rock star in New Line’s Rock of Ages . The film underperforms, taking in $14.4 million at the box office in its opening weekend, giving it a third-place finish. Still, Cruise receives positive notices for his portrayal.

June 29, 2012 Holmes files for divorce from Cruise, making it the third divorce for him and her first. In a statement to the media, Cruise’s attorney calls it “a private matter” and that her primary concern is “her daughter’s best interest.” Cruise’s rep offers that the actor is “deeply saddened” about the news and is “concentrating on his three children.”

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise's stunning daughter Suri, 18, is a vision as she steps out in flowing skirt and cowboy boots

The daughter of katie holmes and tom cruise, recently celebrated her milestone 18th birthday without her father.

Stepping out in the heart of New York City, Suri Cruise was the epitome of urban chic on Wednesday. The daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise , who recently celebrated her milestone 18th birthday, was spotted enjoying a casual stroll through the bustling streets. 

For her day out, Suri opted for a stylish ensemble, featuring a billowing tan sweater cinched at the waist with a leather belt, paired perfectly with a flowing white skirt. 

Her outfit was completed with a pair of well-worn cowboy boots, adding a touch of rugged charm to her sophisticated look.

As she navigated the sidewalks, Suri snacked on a bag of chips and sipped from a green water bottle, her long brunette locks styled with a center part, cascading beautifully down her back.

This sighting comes shortly after her significant birthday, a celebration in which her estranged father, Tom was notably absent. 

The Hollywood star has been busy in London, engrossed in the filming of his eighth Mission Impossible movie and recently attending Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday celebration.

Tom’s involvement in the glittering social scene, including his time with the Beckhams, starkly contrasts with his absence from Suri’s life. 

The pair have been estranged since 2013, a year following his highly publicized divorce from Katie. 

The end of Suri’s 18th year also marked the conclusion of Tom's child support obligations, which were reported to be around $400,000 a year as stipulated in their divorce settlement.

The last public sighting of Tom and Suri together was during a trip to Disneyland in 2012, the same year his marriage to Katie ended. 

Reports suggest that Katie’s decision to end the marriage was influenced by concerns over raising Suri within the Church of Scientology, to which Tom is a devoted member.

Looking to the future, Suri is rumored to be eyeing a career in fashion, with plans to study the subject in New York starting this September. 

Family lawyer Theresa Wright from solicitors Britton & Time commented on the situation, explaining the nuances of child support obligations that might extend due to educational pursuits. 

"If Suri is enrolling in Art college, Tom would still be responsible for paying child maintenance to Katie until Suri reaches the age of 20, provided she stays in Art college full time. There may have been an agreement in Katie and Tom’s divorce settlement that maintenance is provided for longer, in which case it may be that Tom continues to pay child maintenance until either Suri finishes university or reaches the age of 25," she told HELLO!

Meanwhile, Tom remains committed to his own career, continuing to film the latest Mission Impossible sequel in the UK. The project, tentatively titled Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two , is expected to release on May 23, 2025. 

This follows the release of Dead Reckoning Part One last July. The production of MI:8 has faced several setbacks, including delays due to the Hollywood writers' strike and the need to pause filming to promote the previous installment.

Filming locations for the eighth installment have included various iconic sites across Derbyshire, Surrey, and central London, such as the Natural History Museum in Kensington and Westminster Bridge.

Katie Holmes Has a Lot More Money Than You Think

Turns out, Dawson's Creek was full of cash this whole time.

Here’s a closer look at the net worth of Katie Holmes in 2023.

Katie Holmes’s Dawson’s Creek Salary and Film Earnings

Dawson was endlessly lurking near his creek for 6 seasons and 128 episodes. And considering the show was a huge hit for much of that time, Holmes made some serious money. According to Celebrity Net Worth , she initially made “only” $30,000 per episode, but once the show reached peak fame and fandom, she was getting $175,000 per episode.

Using season 6, which had 24 episodes, as a quick example, that equates to $4.2 million per season. Assuming Holmes made this much for at least the final three seasons of this show, she’s looking at tens of millions for playing the iconic Joey Potter.

Holmes has also been in dozens of movies, including Batman Begins , Thank You for Smoking , and Go . Though her per-film rate isn’t known publicly, these days, she’s getting into production , which is even more lucrative.

Katie Holmes’s Divorce Settlement After Her Breakup With Tom Cruise

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise divorced in 2012, and according to Celebrity Net Worth , she went into the marriage with $10 million, while he went into it with around $250 million . Interestingly, their divorce settlement didn’t include spousal support for Holmes.

Instead, TMZ reported back in 2012 that Cruise would be paying Holmes $400,000 a year in child support until their daughter, Suri, turned 18. (She is now 17.) He also agreed to pay for Suri’s “medical, dental, insurance, education, college and extracurricular costs.” At the time of their split, Forbes listed Tom Cruise as the highest paid actor in Hollywood.

Yes, Katie Holmes Does the Occasional Sponsored Content

The going rate for someone with Holmes’s following and celeb status is well north of $100,000 these days.

Plus, according to the Los Angeles Times , she bought the home for about $3.795 million—so not only does Holmes have some newly acquired liquid cash, but she also made a profit. She also has an apartment (or two?) in New York City, where she spends most of her time with Suri.

What Is Katie Holmes’s Total Net Worth?

Thanks to Dawson’s Creek , multiple major movies, endorsements, and real estate, Holmes has a net worth of $25 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth . For comparison, her Dawson’s Creek costar James Van Der Beek's net worth is $8 million , while Joshua Jackson’s net worth is also $8 million , and Michelle Williams’s net worth is $30 million .

Suri Cruise turns 18 and is still estranged from Tom: ‘Not a Scientologist, never will be’

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

Suri Cruise was once the most famous baby in America.

The arrival of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ daughter on April 18, 2006, sparked a global frenzy for the first glimpse of the A-list infant.

But it wasn’t until five months after her birth that she made her debut — on the cover of Vanity Fair, wrapped in the arms of her doting parents, in glossy photos taken by photographer to the stars, Annie Leibovitz.

Now she turns 18 on Thursday and faces a choice: Whether to return to the level of fame she had as a kid — when there were blogs devoted to her fashion — or maintain the carefully-guarded life Holmes has built for her since she blindsided Cruise by filing for divorce.

The dark-haired teen has grown up in Manhattan largely shielded from the spotlight by her loving and highly protective mom, 45, far removed from her 60-year-old father’s Church of Scientology.

As Page Six revealed last year, Suri is estranged from her famous father and the pair have no relationship.

An industry source told us this week that the “Mission: Impossible” star has not seen Suri since 2012. “Katie has safeguarded Suri and she’s a devoted mom,” the source said.

“This is a girl who is a private citizen. She hasn’t lived her life in public.”

Holmes told Glamour magazine in 2023 that she likes to “protect” Suri from the public eye “because she was so visible at a young age.”

“I’m very grateful to be a parent, to be her parent. She’s an incredible person. She’s my heart,” she added.

Being the only daughter of a protective single parent is a stark contrast to how Suri’s life began, of course.

“My whole life I always wanted to be a father,” Cruise gushed to VF back in 2006.

“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.”

He already had two adopted children, Bella, now 31, and Connor, now 29, from his marriage to Nicole Kidman and after her Vanity Fair debut was happy to parade Suri for the paparazzi.

Cruise had famously declared their romance by jumping up and down on Oprah Winfrey’s couch in May 2005, yelling “I’m in love!” 

But when Suri was just 6, Holmes filed for divorce after six years of marriage with the help of her dad, Martin Holmes, a fierce attorney, and through a secret plan that entailed using burner phones.

Cruise was taken completely by surprise by the filing while he was on the set of “Oblivion” in Iceland in June 2012.

He and Suri were last seen together at Disney World in the summer of 2012.

In November 2013, during a deposition in his $50 million court battle against a pair of tabloid magazines, the “Top Gun” star admitted that Holmes had filed for divorce “to protect Suri from Scientology,” court documents revealed.

Despite not having a relationship; as per their divorce agreement, Cruise, who has an estimated $600 million fortune, agreed to pay Holmes $400,000 a year until Suri turns 18 as well as future “medical, dental, insurance, education, college and other extracurricular costs”.

Scientology lies at the heart of the question over Suri’s future.

Holmes, who rose to fame in the TV hit, “Dawson’s Creek,” is believed to have signed multiple non-disclosure documents that will prevent her from ever talking about her marriage to Cruise — and her time inside Scientology.

But when Suri turns 18, NY state declares that she is at the age of majority, when an individual is legally considered an adult.

That would allow her to speak about her father, his beliefs and their rift.

Tony Ortega, who has covered Scientology in depth for decades, told Page Six, “Suri would have been too young to sign any agreement, but she will now be free to talk if she wants to and it’s going to be really interesting if she has something to say.”

We have reached out to reps for Cruise, Holmes and the Church of Scientology. 

“Part of why Katie left when she did when Suri was 6 was that Katie would have seen Isabella and Connor going through Scientology,” said Ortega.

Cruise is of course Scientology’s most famous follower and seen as one of its most powerful figures, possibly second only to its leader, David Miscavige.

That power has led Ortega and former Scientologists to question what action Miscavige and other top Scientologists may have taken against Holmes and her daughter.

Regular members who quit are declared “suppressive persons (SP)” and those who stay in Scientology are told to completely cut them off.

“We don’t know for sure if Katie was ever declared an SP,” Ortega said.

“If you are a regular church member you could be told to disconnect from your wife and daughter, but because Tom is a celebrity — he’s  the top celebrity — he gets to ignore all this stuff.

“Your average member would be kicked out, but David Miscavige can’t do that with Tom.”

Both Mike Rinder and Jeff Augustine, two high-profile former Scientologists, agreed with this claim.

Augustine is married to Karen de la Carriere, who was one of the highest-ranking church leaders until she left in 2010 and told Page Six, “The situation with Suri is a larger story about Scientology and the subject of how they make people no longer useful to them or threats to them non-persons.

“It’s like they cease to exist and that’s what happened to Suri.”

Back in August 2020, Leah Remini — one of the most famous celebrities to leave and speak out against Scientology — told us that she believed Cruise, who now lives mainly in the UK , was waiting until Suri is older so he could indoctrinate her into Scientology.

Remini, who attended Cruise and Holmes’ November 2006 Italian wedding at the 15th-century Odescalchi Castle, said, “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.”

Suri has tiptoed very gently into her parents’ showbusiness world while attending her exclusive Manhattan day school, singing “Blue Moon” in the opening credits of Holmes’ 2022 movie, “Alone Together.”

“I always want the highest level of talent,” Holmes said. “So I asked her! She’s very, very talented. She said she would do it and she recorded it, and I let her do her thing.”

Suri also sang in the film “Rare Objects,” which Holmes also directed.

Holmes will this year return to Broadway in a revival of Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town”.

She has not remarried but had a six-year romance with actor Jamie Foxx which she kept under the radar before their split in August 2019 and went on to have a brief fling with  Nolita restaurateur Emilio Vitolo Jr. in 2021.

Holmes is careful not to speak out too much about her daughter, who is now preparing for college, once saying, “She came out very strong — she’s always been a strong personality.”

But she is now getting ready for her daughter to leave the nest.

“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,” she told Town & Country in 2017.

“And that’s going to be very, very sad for me.”

As for the future, former Scientology spokesperson Mike Rinder, who has not seen his own two eldest children since he quit the organization, told Page Six, “Suri is not a Scientologist and never will be…she deserves love and sympathy.”
