Inside Tom Cruise's Relationship With His Daughter Suri Now

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tom Cruise was not awarded custody of Suri

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

See Katie Holmes' rare photos of look-alike Suri, her daughter with ex-husband Tom Cruise

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

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

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

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

Other stars gushed over the cute photos in the comments.

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

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

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

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

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."

Katie Holmes Shares Rare Insight Into Daughter Suri Cruise's ‘Visible' Childhood

Katie holmes reflected on how 16-year-old daughter suri cruise—who she shares with ex-husband tom cruise—spent her childhood in the spotlight: "she’s an incredible person.", by gabrielle chung • published april 12, 2023 • updated on april 13, 2023 at 10:03 am.

Katie Holmes is seeing the love in Suri Cruise 's eyes.

The " Dawson's Creek " alum looked back on how her and Tom Cruise 's 16-year-old daughter grew up in front of the public eye before opting to spend her tween years away from the spotlight.

"What has been really important for me with my daughter, because she was so visible at a young age, is I really like to protect her," the 44-year-old recently told Glamour . "I'm very grateful to be a parent, to be her parent. She's an incredible person."

However, that's not to say Holmes isn't open to Cruise being involved in her work . The actress and director enlisted her daughter to sing songs in her 2022 film "Alone Together " and her upcoming feature, "Rare Objects."

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

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

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

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

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

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

Suri Cruise: The Lavish Life Of Katie Holmes' And Tom Cruise's Daughter

Before she ever even dreamed a dream in her designer crib, blissfully unaware of the existence of paparazzi and tabloids, Suri Cruise was a star. No red carpet arrival could rival the attention that the coming of the TomKat child received in 2006, and rumors swirled about how "Dawson's Creek" alum Katie Holmes and "Top Gun" actor Tom Cruise were preparing to become parents of one of the world's most famous babies.

There were the whispers that Tom was pushing Holmes to embrace Scientologists' preferred childbirth method while she was pushing in the delivery room: a "silent birth." Cruise denied speculation that this meant Holmes would have to stifle her screams of pain, but told " Primetime " host Diane Sawyer that everyone else in the room would be expected to pipe down. "If she's going to make noise, she's going to make noise," he said. "But why have other people make noise?"

So it's safe to say that no trumpets were blasted to herald Suri's arrival on April 18, 2006, and Holmes would later tell Glamour that the little Aries wasn't all that extraordinary when compared to other kids — Suri liked listening to her dad read to her and watching "Cinderella." But most parents can't rent out the highly coveted Cinderella Castle Suite in Disney World through mysterious means, which is exactly what Tom did for Suri in 2012. And this wasn't the only time that the child of Hollywood royalty got the princess treatment.

Her Vanity Fair debut

The Instagram era hadn't arrived when Suri Cruise was born in 2006, and it was expected that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes would follow Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's lead by agreeing to have their child's first photos published in the pages of a major magazine. Days ticked by with no such splashy debut, but the nonexistent pics were still a story; TMZ spoke to industry insiders who estimated that the baby photos could fetch up to $5 million. A source even suggested that Suri's parents were holding out for the best possible payday.

When Suri made her magazine debut in Vanity Fair  about five months after her arrival, the cover girl's parents decided not to accept any payment at all. They also revealed that they were flummoxed by the photo frenzy, which had People polling its readers to see if they believed that Suri was even real. (A majority were convinced that her existence was a fairytale.)

Holmes explained the delay, telling Vanity Fair, "We were always going to release a photo. We just didn't want to get into the whole production of setting up a photo shoot at that time. I really just wanted to enjoy this precious time with my daughter. I knew I'd never get that time back." Among those who were aware that Suri did, indeed, exist before then were her celebrity visitors, who included "Men in Black" star Will Smith, his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, and Tom's "Vanilla Sky" co-star Penelope Cruz. Suri also met famed photog Annie Leibovitz, who snapped the tot's Vanity Fair photos at Tom's sprawling estate in Telluride, Colorado.

A sitcom star comforted Suri Cruise during her parents' wedding dinner

Suri Cruise was present at her parents' 2006 fairytale wedding in Italy, but aged just seven months, she was far too young to remember the star-studded event. Per People , the guest list included a number of high-profile Hollywood couples: Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, and David Beckham and Victoria Beckham. "King of Queens" star Leah Remini also attended the ceremony, which was held at the Orsini-Odescalchi castle.

In her book " Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology ," Remini, a former Scientologist, claims that poor Suri couldn't stop crying during a pre-wedding dinner and had been placed in the care of a group of female Scientologists, including Tom Cruise's sister. They were gathered inside a bathroom, but Remini could hear Suri's wails from the dining area. She eventually decided to scope out the situation herself.

Inside the bathroom, Remini saw that the women had placed Suri on the floor. "[They] were looking at her like they thought she was L. Ron Hubbard incarnate," Remini recalled. "Rather than talking to her in a soothing voice, they kept saying, 'Suri! Suri!' in a tone that sounded like they were telling an adult to get her s*** together." Remini realized that Suri was likely hungry and ended up tracking down her bottle and taking it to the kitchen to have it heated up. When she returned and directed Suri's caretakers to feed her, the distressed infant quieted down.

Tottering around in heels as a toddler

In 2009, outlets including Just Jared published photos of Suri Cruise taking a stroll with her mom while rocking a pair of tiny silver kitten heels. Some critics felt that the then-three-year-old was too young to be wearing such mature footwear, including famed shoe designer Manolo Blahnik, who expressed surprise over Suri channeling her inner Carrie Bradshaw at such a young age. "That girl is destined to be a victim of a high heel!" he predicted while speaking to New York magazine (via Radar ).

The outcry over Suri's footwear put her parents' feet to the fire, and both of them explained why they supported her right to add an inch or two to her diminutive height. Holmes told Access that her daughter was just trying to be like her stylish mom (awww!) and even revealed where she got Suri's heels. "They are actually ballroom dancing shoes for kids," she said. "I found them for her and she loves them." Tom Cruise also mentioned dancing in his defense of his parenting skills. "In Spain, they wear the high-heeled flamenco dance shoes from birth," he said on GMTV (via Now to Love ).

If Star magazine (via the Daily Mail ) is to be believed, Suri was a full-blown shoeaholic by age five, adding so many pairs of designer heels to her collection that it had a value of around $150,000. "She's a massive fan of Marc Jacobs and she's had several shoes custom-made," an insider dished.

Suri Cruise's closet quickly got filled with designer clothing and accessories

Suri Cruise's street style made her a fashion icon as soon as she started getting papped. The Suri Cruise Fashion Blog broke down the estimated cost of an outfit Suri wore to school in 2013, and she was giving the "Gossip Girl" elite a run for their old money. Her Lanvin mink vest was valued at $850, while her velvet frock from the same designer retailed for $750. She traded her heels for a more practical pair of $130 Crewcuts flats. (Blair Waldorf who?!) In 2018, Page Six published a photo of Suri rocking another expensive piece, a bright pink $900 trench coat from Burberry. Oh, and let's not forget the $850 Ferragamo handbag she was spotted toting around at age three, per Us Weekly .

In a 2010, Tom Cruise confirmed that he didn't take cost into account when it came to his daughter's wardrobe. "Whatever she wants to wear, she wears it. I'm not going to tell her different," he told Oprah . "She's got great taste too. She tells me what to wear." As for Katie Holmes, she seemed hopeful that her daughter would gradually develop a similar sense of style to her own, allowing Suri to fully appreciate her fashion inheritance. "Oftentimes, I will buy something with her in mind, thinking, 'Maybe I'll wear this once or twice,'" Holmes told Extra , "'but it's gonna look so great on her when she's 25.'"

Suri Cruise made a lot of fun memories on her parents' sets

Suri Cruise spent a lot of time on her parents' sets when she was a young child. Tom Cruise told Extra that she became interested in the dynamics of his vocal performance in the 2012 movie "Rock of Ages" after attending a few rehearsals. "I'd get all the questions about, 'How's it going? How are you moving the air through the diaphragm and the vocal chords?' So she's fascinated by it," the actor said. 

Two years earlier, Suri had joined her mom on the set of "The Romantics." The film's cast, which included Malin Akerman, Elijah Wood, Josh Duhamel, and Adam Brody, treated her like she was the biggest star present. "We all shared her," Akerman told People of their adorable new bestie. "We drew, we played hide and seek, we played dogs and cats, ate cupcakes together."

That same year, Suri worked her magic again on the set of Holmes' miniseries "The Kennedys." There, she made some new friends closer to her age, including the child actors who were there to work. "Everyone brings their kids and we do play dates there and paint pottery," Holmes told Access of the fun, family-friendly atmosphere. When Holmes revisited the Kennedys' story for "After Camelot" seven years later, Suri took advantage of her mom being the director. "I love when [Suri] would come into the trailer," actor Kristin Booth told People . "She would get hair and makeup done."

What Tom Cruise pays in child support

In 2012, Katie Holmes decided to pull the plug on her marriage to Tom Cruise. After their divorce settlement was quickly hammered out, TMZ reported that Cruise's annual child support payments would be around $400,000, and he'd also be obligated to pay for his daughter's schooling and medical expenses. Additionally, Cruise had to sign off on certain restrictions on Suri Cruise's education options — which would reportedly prohibit Tom from enrolling her in a Scientology boarding school.

When Tom took Bauer Publishing Company to court over claims its tabloids made about the actor purportedly abandoning Suri, he acknowledged in a deposition that his religion played a role in Holmes' decision to divorce him . Specifically, Holmes didn't want their daughter to become involved with the Church of Scientology, per ABC News . Tom continued to spend time with Suri after the divorce, with a source telling E! News  in 2013, "Tom sent his private jet to NYC to pick up Suri so she could come to London and spend some time with him." That was reportedly the last year the father and daughter were photographed together. 

While Tom had visitation rights and could continue seeing Suri if he wished to, an insider told  Us Weekly , "He chooses not to because she is not a Scientologist." However, Leah Remini shared a theory with the New York Post , saying, "I'm sure [Tom's] master plan is to wait until Suri gets older so that he can lure her into Scientology and away from her mother."

Inside Suri Cruise's pricey private school

After Katie Holmes divorced Tom Cruise , she and Suri Cruise started building new lives for themselves in NYC's swanky Chelsea neighborhood. Their rent was $12,500 a month, and, according to the New York Post , one of their apartment building's big selling points was easy access to the mixed-use property's ground-level Whole Foods. In a New York minute, Holmes and Suri became proud New Yorkers. "New York has been very good to both of us," Holmes told People . "I love the theater, the galleries in my neighborhood. Stuff [like] that is so much of what makes me love this city."

The city also provided Holmes with plenty of education options for young Suri, and she chose Avenues , a private school that caters to the elite. It was new at the time, and tuition was $40,000 a year. What made the school an ideal pick for the pair was that it was designed with parents who travel in mind, allowing students to switch campuses when needed. Students Suri's age were given the option of learning either Spanish or Mandarin. 

While Suri had to wear a school uniform, Us Weekly shared a photo that showed the stylish kindergartner taking a sartorial cue from "Gossip Girl" fashionista Blair Waldorf: She added some visual interest to her outfit by rocking a bright orange headband. Suri also used her outerwear to express her personal style, wearing a vivid pink jacket over her dark skirt and white collared shirt.

The body double conspiracy

The cost of caring for a kid as famous as Suri Cruise is astronomical. In 2012, a divorce attorney told E! News  that the total monthly support expenses for her caretakers, travel, schooling, and security could be as much as $100,000. But an insider told OK! (via Contact Music ) that Tom Cruise was willing to pay half that weekly for Suri's security alone after he and Katie Holmes divorced. "Katie believes money is no object when it comes to the safety of Suri and insisted Tom handle that side of things. She'd go broke if she had to pay for it and it's a total necessity with the enormous interest in Suri," the source dished.

There were even reports that Suri's parents had hired a look-alike daughter decoy in early 2013. According to the Daily News , paparazzi trailed an SUV that Suri was thought to be inside of one afternoon after waiting outside her school. When the vehicle stopped, a little girl with brunette hair was photographed getting out and hiding her face. Not long afterward, Suri and her nanny, who were in a different vehicle, rushed inside a nearby sandwich restaurant. However, Suri was also photographed, and she and her doppelganger were wearing matching dark leggings, pink-soled boots, and eggplant-colored puffer jackets.

Around that time, Tom was reportedly paranoid about Suri potentially getting kidnapped. However, according to Yahoo! Entertainment , a source said that the supposed body double was just a friend of Suri's.

She got charitable and political at a young age

While Suri Cruise grew up wanting for nothing, she's not oblivious to the fact that there are less fortunate people in the world. In a 2015 appearance on "Today," Katie Holmes praised her daughter for having a giving spirit. "My little one is very, very generous and very sensitive. So she's always [saying], 'Mom, let's give my old toys to people who need it,'" she said (via Us Weekly ).

In 2014, Cruise adopted a rescue dog in need of a loving home, per TMZ , and that same year, she offered a $1,000 reward when she lost her pet. Thankfully, Honey the chihuahua was found and returned home safely.

Holmes has shared an Instagram photo of Cruise putting a smile on the face of a child at a Moria refugee camp — and flashing a pretty big grin herself — by playing a clapping game with her new friend. The activist-entrepreneur attended NYC Pride in 2018, where she sold lemonade to thirsty revelers, per Us Weekly . "She was very sweet and kind, telling everyone to enjoy their day," said one parade attendee. Cruise also got interested in politics at a young age, with Holmes telling Jenna Bush Hager (via  Vanity Fair ) that the then-10-year-old was disappointed when Hillary Clinton lost her 2016 presidential bid. "We have to raise our girls to be very strong, not just for themselves, but to open the doors for other people," Holmes said of what she learned from the loss.

Suri Cruise's birthday celebrations are always special

Proving that her daughter always gets the princess treatment on her birthday, Katie Holmes shared an Instagram photo of Suri Cruise wearing a tiara when she turned 12 years old in 2018. However, the birthday girl didn't exactly look thrilled about having her picture taken. Two years earlier, Suri celebrated her 10th birthday in NYC with some friends. According to E! News , they were spotted polishing off burgers and cookies at Tavern on the Green, where they dined al fresco. Suri's days-long festivities also included a fun-filled night at Dave & Buster's with a large group of kids and trays loaded with treats from Georgetown Cupcake. According to Radar , an insider claimed that one of her gifts that year was a baby grand piano.

However, one of Suri's most extravagant birthday celebrations took place when she turned 13 in 2019. The French publication Closer (via People ) reported that Holmes whisked her daughter and two of her pals away to Paris, where they dined at the upscale eatery Les Ombres. While enjoying a view of the Eiffel Tower, the sophisticated group reportedly sipped on alcohol-free mojitos and noshed on caviar before generously tipping their server $100.

A year later, Suri's birthday would look much different. During the pandemic, Holmes shared a snapshot of her daughter rocking a floral crown at home and captioned it, "Birthday vibes." Speaking to ET about their low-key celebration, Holmes said, "I think when you have less, you're more creative."

Suri Cruise's happy holidays

Simply stepping inside Suri Cruise's closet would feel like Christmas morning for many girls. But throwing on a coat that would cost some parents an entire week's salary is nothing for Suri, whose dad reportedly paid $5,000 to reserve a special section of Rockefeller Center's ice skating rink in December 2011. A source told the Daily News that Tom Cruise also had hot cocoa and gourmet treats delivered to his daughter during their family outing.

In 2014, Katie Holmes confirmed that Suri makes a Christmas list and checks it twice. "She's just very specific," Holmes said on " The Ellen DeGeneres Show ." "'I want a puppy,' then, 'I want a pink collar that has sparkles on it that says the puppy's name,' then, 'I want shoes for the dog.'" Holmes also said that she tries to make sure that Santa gets everything on Suri's list.

While a magic sleigh is one item that Suri can't get her hands on, she does spend plenty of time in the sky during the holiday season. In 2016, she and her mom spent Thanksgiving in Holmes' hometown, Toledo, Ohio. On Instagram , Holmes revealed that they visited a local Dave & Buster's and played video games. Two years later, she and Suri brought in the New Year during a  ski trip . Holmes also makes sure that Suri remembers others during the holidays. "She and Suri spent Christmas afternoon visiting children at a local hospital in L.A.," Holmes' rep told People in 2014.

Suri Cruise made some friends in showbiz

Speaking to InStyle in 2020, Katie Holmes painted a pretty lonely picture of Suri Cruise's life as a baby. "I just wanted her outside, so I would walk her around to find parks at, like, six in the morning when nobody would see us," she said. But Suri did make some famous friends fairly early in life. In 2009, the almost-three-year-old was photographed out on a playdate with two of David and Victoria Beckham's sons, Cruz and Romeo, at the Children's Art Studio in Los Angeles, per X17 . That same year, Cruise and future "Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin" star Bailee Madison hung out together when Holmes and Madison filmed "Don't Be Afraid of The Dark" in Australia, per Hello!.

When she hit her tween years, Cruise befriended more kids involved in the entertainment industry. For a 2018 DuJour magazine event in the Hamptons, Page Six reported that Cruise left her mom at home and hung out with a group of friends who included young actors from the Broadway play "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child," as well as kids who competed on the reality series "MasterChef Junior." Cruise reportedly got starstruck when she met Dakota Fanning there.

Suri's exclusive inner circle also includes a few girls who share her taste in expensive accessories. In 2019, she and a pal were photographed carrying similar $385 Susan Alexandra handbags, per Page Six . A third friend toted an even pricier $2,295 purse by Mark Cross.

She got to introduce Taylor Swift at a holiday event

Speaking to Elle UK about her very "Gilmore Girls" relationship with Suri Cruise , Katie Holmes said of her daughter, "Every age that my child has been and my age at that time has been a good match. We kind of grew up together." Evidence of their complementary ages? A shared appreciation for Taylor Swift. An insider told OK! that Holmes befriended Swift when they worked together on the movie "The Giver" in 2014, and Holmes set up a surprise meeting between her daughter and the singer. "They spent an hour chatting that day, and Taylor still makes a point to spend time with Suri in New York City — whether it's going to Katie's for baking sessions or teaching her how to play the guitar," the source claimed.

Cruise didn't show off the results of those priceless guitar lessons from Swift at Z100 New York's 2017 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball, but she and her mom did introduce the singer. Their rare public appearance took place at Madison Square Garden, where Billboard quoted Holmes as saying, "She's one of our favorite performers — and who is it tonight?" Cruise was given the honor of excitedly announcing Swift's name, and she was dressed to impress the music star in a dark blue, star-spangled dress. Only a cool celeb Swiftie like Cruise wouldn't need to be told, "You Need to Calm Down," when getting the honor of sharing a stage with Swift herself.

Suri Cruise's laidback lockdown with her mom

Suri Cruise and her mom got to spend even more quality time together than usual at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and it sounds like Katie Holmes went out of her way to make sure that her daughter didn't feel too isolated or scared. However, Holmes said that she and Cruise did isolate themselves from the rest of civilization by spending part of their lockdown somewhere near a lake. The idyllic location made Holmes want to watch one of the most iconic dancing scenes that actually takes place in a lake over and over again. "We probably watched 'Dirty Dancing' 10 times,'" she told Amazing magazine (via the Daily Mail ). 

Holmes and Cruise also had the time of their lives getting in touch with their crafty sides. "I painted, we had a sewing machine so we were making quilts, we were cooking; we were on a perpetual vacation," she said. In an interview with The Daily Telegraph , Holmes explained why it was important to her to remain positive and upbeat. "I feel strongly that the power of your own attitude definitely influences those around you, including your children," she said. Luckily, she didn't have to feign her contentment, since she actually enjoys her daughter's company. "I will say that this time of quarantine has been such a lesson, just really looking at everything you have and celebrating the simplicity of making dinner," she added, noting that she prefers not to discuss Suri with the press.

Suri's special contribution to one of her mom's movies

In 2012, Tom Cruise told Extra that Suri Cruise was following in her daredevil dad's footsteps by getting into gymnastics and swimming, skills that could greatly benefit any future actor who someday plans on doing their own stunts. But Suri didn't make her movie debut playing a spy kid in one of Tom's "Mission: Impossible" movies. Instead, at age 16, she showcased her vocal talent in her mom's 2022 movie "Alone Together," a rom-com set during the start of the pandemic. Suri can be heard sweetly singing the classic song "Blue Moon" at the beginning of the film. While Suri's mom directed, wrote, produced, and starred in the movie, Holmes insisted that it was her daughter's ability, not her blood bond, that got her the gig. "I always want the highest level of talent," she told Yahoo! Entertainment . "So I asked her! She's very talented."

Whether Suri sets her heart on a singing career or chooses a different path, her mom will always be her loudest, proudest cheerleader, and she already knows that Suri has what it takes to accomplish almost anything she sets her mind to. "My biggest goal has always been to nurture her into her individuality," Holmes told InStyle. "... 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.' She's very focused and a hard worker."

Katie Holmes' impressive rule for daughter Suri, 18

Dawson's creek star katie lives in new york, while suri's father tom cruise splits his time between la and england.

Katie Holmes ' daughter Suri Cruise has just celebrated her 18 th birthday and has been spotted out and about strolling in New York City.

Over the years, Katie has rarely spoken of her daughter, who she shares with her former husband, Mission Impossible star Tom Cruise .

However, back in 2015 when Suri was nine, the Dawson's Creek actress opened up about her relationship with Suri, explaining how her daughter is "generous and sensitive", and even revealed a parenting rule she had at home.

"My little one is very, very generous and very sensitive," Katie said on the Today Show .

"So, she’s always [saying], ‘Mom, let’s give my old toys to people who need it.’ So we are always doing that. I don't over-gift. I don't inundate my child with a lot of things."

How sweet that Suri liked to donate her toys to those less fortunate than her. It's also so impressive how Katie kept her daughter grounded, and despite their wealth, chose not to spoil Suri with a plethora of lavish gifts.

In 2022, Katie gave another rare snippet into her relationship with Suri, telling InStyle: "I love her so much. My biggest goal has always been to nurture her into her individuality. To make sure she is 100 per cent herself and strong, confident, and able. And to know it." 

Suri is set to go to college at the end of the summer. It is thought she has been considering colleges in NYC, meaning that she will still be able to see her mother regularly.

It's clear that Suri has developed her parents' talents for performing, and showcased her singing voice back in 2022. 

Suri appeared in the opening credits of Katie's film, Alone Together , when she was just 15, singing Blue Moon.

Chatting to Yahoo! Entertainment  about her daughter's role in the movie, she said: "She's very, very talented. She said she would do it and she recorded it and I let her do her thing. 

"That's the way I direct in general: It's like, 'This is what I think we all want - go do your thing'."

Tom Cruise’s Ex-Wives: Everything To Know About His 3 Marriages To Katie, Nicole, & Mimi

The 'Mission: Impossible' star has been married thrice throughout his career. Find out everything you need to know about his ex-wives.

• Tom Cruise remains one of Hollywood’s biggest movie stars
• The actor has been linked with several high-profile actresses throughout his career and married three of them
• He shares three children with two of his ex-wives

Tom Cruise   has been a popular actor for decades. He’s appeared in classics like  Top Gun and  Jerry Maguire,  but he’s also been a part of the massively popular  Mission: Impossible  film franchise. While he got famous through his many movie appearances, Tom’s personal life has long been a public interest , from his relationships to his family. Throughout his life, the 59-year-old actor has been married to three different women and welcomed three children with two of them.  Find out more about who his exes are and what his relationships with them were like!

Mimi Rogers

Tom’s first marriage was to  Mimi Rogers  in 1987. The actor had experienced early success in his career with  Risky Business  and  Top Gun , before he married the actress. Mimi, 66, has starred in a number of beloved movies like Lost In Space  or the first  Austin Powers  film. While the marriage was short-lived, Mimi did have a major impact on Tom, being the one who introduced him to Scientology, according to the book The Passion of Tom Cruise , via  Radar .  Her dad had been an original member of the church, via  The Hollywood Reporter .

Tom had said that the pair met at a dinner party in a 1986 profile by  Rolling Stone . In another profile , he later gushed about Mimi. “I care about my wife more than anything in the world. She’s my best friend. I just really like being with her, you know? I love her,” he said.

Unfortunately, the couple later split and broke up in 1990. In the years since the divorce, Mimi has said that she regularly gets questioned about her marriage to the  Top Gun  star, but she doesn’t really comment much. ““Any time anything happens with him I get a call: ’What do you think of Katie? What do think about this?’ … ’Yeah, he’s having a kid. Of course I think it’s great. What do you want me to say?’ ’Do you think he’ll be a good father?’ ’How do I know any more than I would know what kind of parent you would be,” she explained to  Today  in 2006.

Meanwhile, Mimi keeps her fans up to date on her latest moves via Instagram . Her last post celebrated another season of working on the hit TV show Bosch Legacy.

Nicole Kidman

After the split from Mimi, Tom starred alongside his future wife  Nicole Kidman in  Days of Thunder,  and the pair got married in December 1990. The couple adopted two kids: a daughter Isabella,   29, and a son Connor,  27, in the 90s. During their 11-year marriage, Tom and Nicole also starred in the 1999 film  Eyes Wide Shut  together, which Nicole, 54, looked back on fondly in a 2020 New York Times   interview. “We were happily married through that. We would go go-kart racing after those scenes. We’d rent out a place and go racing at 3 in the morning,” she said.

After 11 years together, the couple broke up, and Tom filed for divorce in February 2001. In the years after the split, Nicole said the breakup was a “major shock” in a 2006 interview with  Ladies Home Journal,  per  Today .  “I knew I was going to get hit with something. But I think a divorce, and the demise of what your family is, is a little death in itself,” she said. Shortly after the split, there had been reports that Nicole had suffered a miscarriage at the end of their relationship, but she set the record straight in a 2007 interview with  Marie Claire . She said that it was “wrongly reported,” and clarified, “I had an ectopic pregnancy at the beginning of [my marriage].”

Nicole went on to marry country music singer Keith Urban in 2006. The gorgeous actress shares hilarious videos of their daily life together in Australia via her Instagram . Check out the cute couple hilariously chasing a native brush tail possum away from their deck here !

Katie Holmes

Tom’s third and most recent marriage was to actress Katie Holmes .  The pair started dating in 2005, and they were quickly nicknamed “TomKat.” The actor famously declared his love for Katie in a viral interview with  Oprah Winfrey,  where he jumped on the couch on her talk show. A year after going public with their romance, Katie, 43, had their first daughter   Suri ,  16, together in April 2006. The couple got married that November. The wedding was an extravagant affair, with tons of high profile guests like  Jada Pinkett-Smith, Jennifer Lopez, Jim Carrey,  and many more, per  USA Today.   Tom’s best man was the head of the Church of Scientology  David Miscavige,  according to the   BBC .

After six years of marriage, the couple divorced in 2012. Katie announced that she was filing for divorce, and the split was quickly resolved due to a prenup arranged by the actress’s dad, according to  Vanity Fair . After the split, Katie moved to New York with Suri. Although she doesn’t often share snaps of her mini-me daughter to her Instagram , Katie does give fans a peek at her life in the Big Apple.

She reflected on the time after the divorce in an April 2020 interview with   InStyle . “That time was intense. It was a lot of attention, and I had a little child on top of it. We had some funny moments out and about in public. So many people I didn’t know became my friends and helped us out, and that’s what I love about the city,” she said.

Former leading Scientologist Karen De La Carriere told DailyMail that while many think that there are a lot of rules that prohibit Cruise from seeing Suri, it’s just one major rule that she believes to be the case.

This was backed up when DailyMail also asked Cruise’s former security detail, Brendan Tighe, about it.”Basically, when it comes to Scientology thinking, there is a disconnection policy. When it’s applied rigorously, there is no room for emotion,” he said. “So long as Suri sides with her mom, there will be no contact with her dad.”

For those who don’t know, Holmes and Cruise welcomed Suri, 17, on April 18, 2006, with her ex-husband Tom.

Suri turned 18 this past month, and many wonder if she’ll have something to say about her estranged dad and Scientology. “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,” Tony Ortega, an expert and seasoned Scientology journalist said to Page Six .

Tom Cruise's daughter's ordinary life in Croydon with Brit husband and pet reptile

Isabella Cruise turned down dad Tom Cruise's offer to live in his plush London penthouse when she relocated to England in 2017 - instead preferring to keep a low profile with British husband and pet lizard

• 20:50, 15 May 2022
• Updated 21:18, 15 May 2022

With two multi-millionaire actors as parents, Isabella Kidman Cruise, 29, could easily be reaping the benefits of Hollywood nepotism - bagging major movie roles and living in plush penthouses over in America.

However, the eldest child of Tom Cruise and his former wife Nicole Kidman prefers the delights of London over L.A - shunning celebrity culture to live a down-to-earth life in Croydon with her British husband Max Parker and their pet reptile.

The artist reportedly even turned down her dad's offer to live in his £342,000-a-month penthouse in London when she first moved to the U.K in October 2017 to be closer to Max's parents.

Top Gun star Tom, 59, is said to own a property close by 10 Downing Street that boasts an indoor swimming pool and amazing views, alongside other luxury features.

But Isabella - who is also known as Bella - prefers to keep a low-profile in a three-bedroom house in Croydon, according to her neighbours.

"I wouldn’t have known her if she’d come up and smacked me in the face. I don’t keep up with celebrity culture," a neighbour named Emma told The Sun in 2017.

"They have a reptile of some kind — we can see the red light of the tank. That’s all anybody seems to know. She’s very mysterious. I suppose she’s decided to live out of the spotlight. I don’t know why she’s chosen Croydon, poor child!"

Isabella has seemingly embraced English culture since relocating to the United Kingdom - even getting behind the national team during the Euro 2020 semifinals last year.

The artist made a rare appearance on social media in July 2021, sharing a selfie of herself supporting Gareth Soutgathe's players in their quest to reach the final of the football tournament.

"My face during extra time... fingers crossed," Bella captioned the snap shared with her Instagram followers, adding an emoji of the England flag.

Isabella and Max tied the knot in 2015, just a year after being set up by mutual pals, and even their wedding day was low-key - with the bride's famous parents noticeably missing from the guestlist.

The pair's Scientology wedding at the lavish Dorchester Hotel in London was restricted to close friends and family, but both mum Nicole and dad Tom we're unable to attend due to work commitments.

The Eyes Wide Shut co-stars - who were married from 1990 until 2001 - adopted Isaella in 1992, and then her younger brother, Connor Cruise in 1995.

Despite her parents having a combined wealth of over £600million, Isabella has always been keen to earn her own money.

The celebrity offspring often uses her verified Instagram account to promote various artistic designs - with her website offering limited edition prints from $30 and trendy tote bags for $19.

"Bella has been drawing ever since her wee hands could pick up a pen. Since that point in time she’s been evolving in her arts," the star's bio reads on her website.

"Her go-to medium was pen and paper for most of her life. However, she is now venturing into other formats and mediums. Including digital. Which has been a bit of a game changer in her opinion."

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's Daughter Bella: Her New Life as a Designer

The 25-year-old daughter of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman has lived a quiet life outside the spotlight, only making headlines in 2015 for her secret marriage

Bella Cruise is ready to go out on her own.

The 25-year-old daughter of superstars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman has lived a quiet life outside the spotlight, only making headlines in 2015 for her marriage to Max Parker. But it seems she’s ready to come forward with the launch of a new t-shirt line.

Kidman and Cruise adopted Bella in 1993 and then her brother Connor was adopted in 1995.

“From the minute Tom and I were married, I wanted to have babies,” Kidman told Vanity Fair in 2007. “And we lost a baby early on, so that was really very traumatic. And that’s when we would adopt [our daughter] Bella.”

Read on for more on her life now.

She got secretly married — and dad picked up the bill

Bella and Parker wanted the romantic affair to be so low-key and private that they decided against inviting her A-list celebrity parents. Bella‘s younger brother, Connor, was also reportedly absent from the nuptials. Cruise helped pay for the nuptials and party afterwards.

A source close to Kidman told PEOPLE at the time that Kidman was “very happy for Bella. She, like all mothers, wants her child to be happy, and it surely seems Bella is very happy,” the source said.

She switched career tracks

Before followed her passion for art and design, she previously pursued a career as a makeup artist after graduating from West London’s Delmar Academy of Make-up and Hair. When Cruise was married to ex-wife Katie Holmes in 2006, Bella worked for Holmes’ clothing line, Holmes and Yang.

“Bella has been an artist her entire life. Her go-to medium is marker on paper with her inspiration for her artwork drawn largely from friends, fashion, and music,” a statement on her t-shirt line’s site reads . “It has been a life-long dream of Bella’s to put her art onto clothing; her brand new t-shirt collection is the first glimpse in the realization of this dream, with many more to come in the near future.”

She’s a Scientologist like her dad and brother

After the Cruise and Kidman divorced in 2001, Bella grew up with her father in Beverly Hills and was raised in the Church of Scientology.

When asked about her thoughts on her children’s religious beliefs, Kidman told The Hollywood Reporter in 2013, “I’ve chosen not to speak publicly about Scientology. I have two children who are Scientologists – Connor and Isabella – and I utterly respect their beliefs.”

Bella is honoring both of her parents with her new T-shirt line, billing it under the name Bella Kidman Cruise.

Tom Cruise splits with London love Khayrova, ex-wife of Russian oligarch, after meeting her kids

Hollywood actor Tom Cruise has broken up with the daughter of a former Russian State Duma MP and ex-wife of a Russian oligarch, 36-year-old Elsina Khayrova, The Sun reported on Feb. 21.

The 61-year-old actor broke off his relationship with Khayrova just a few days after he met her children, a son and daughter from his previous marriage to Russian oligarch and diamond trader Dmitry Tsvetkov.

"There are no hard feelings between them and, for Tom, their relationship simply ran its course," a source said.

“Tom even wants them to remain friends as they live in the same apartment building in London. To end things on a bad note would’ve been awkward if they bumped into each other in the lift.”

Western media reported a week earlier that Cruise and Khayrova had become "very close" and were spending more and more time together, and the Hollywood actor had already become a regular guest at her luxurious £10 million ($12.7 million) apartment in the prestigious Knightsbridge neighborhood.

Media first reported on the couple's romance in December 2023, when Cruise and Khayrova were spotted on a date in London.

All three of Tom Cruise's marriages ended when wife was 33

Soon after news broke about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' plans to divorce , fans noted a weird coincidence. All of Cruise's three marriages broke up when his wife at the time was 33, and ended when she was 34.

Cruise's first wife was Mimi Rogers, who was 31 when she wed 24-year-old Cruise in May 1987 and 33 when they broke up in 1990.

Cruise then married Nicole Kidman, 23, in December of 1990, and then separated in 2001, when Kidman was 33.

Holmes, 28, and Cruise wed in 2006, seven months after daughter Suri was born. And when word came Friday that Holmes had filed for divorce, those with a sense of Cruise history noted that Holmes was also 33.

Divorces, in each case, came when the woman in question had turned 34 (or so we assume with Holmes, who will turn 34 in December).

The coincidence didn't go unnoticed on social media, where no weird fact is too small to escape notice.

"How weird is it that Tom Cruise's three failed marriages have all ended while the women were 34?" tweeted Karen D'Souza. Others tried to find a connection between the number 33 and Cruise's well-publicized Scientology faith.

And others had fun with a different numerical aspect of the Cruise-Holmes marriage. Wrote Adolf McGough, "Shoutout to Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise. Your marriage lasted 28.47 Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries marriages."

Calling all eligible bachelors?

A source tells us Irina Shayk is looking to find a new man after her fling with NFL hunk Tom Brady fizzled.  

“She is shopping, but her dating pool is a tiny group of people,” says our source. “She needs famous, good looking and money. How many of those are there? Five, ten?” 

Oh, the problems of the rich and gorgeous!

We hear the Russian model is “looking in Europe and in the USA.” 

Our source suggested the newly single Tom Cruise as one possibility, after the “Top Gun” star recently split with Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova.

We hear Shayk, 38, who was recently on the cover of Vogue Italia, will attend the Met Gala , the so-called “Oscars of Fashion” thrown by Vogue and the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, on the first Monday in May.

Shayk and her ex, Brady, 46, were first spotted together in August after Page Six exclusively reported that sparks flew for the supermodel when she met him at a starry wedding in Italy in June.

They were last seen together in mid-January at hotspot Fouquet’s in NYC.

But Page Six reported in September that the retired quarterback was playing the field , and that Shayk was also dating other people.

By late October, we were told that things had fizzled between them.

However, he and Shayk spent time together again in December during Art Basel Miami Beach. We also spotted Brady hanging out at a billionaire’s bash surrounded by women that same week.

Shayk has had a long on-again-off again relationship with her ex, Bradley Cooper, and the pair shares a daughter, 4.

Cooper is currently dating Gigi Hadid.
