Katie Holmes reveals the story behind the surprise guest star in her latest film 'Alone Together'

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

Katie Holmes didn't have to look very far to find the right singer to croon the cover of "Blue Moon" that plays over the opening credits of her new movie, Alone Together . The actress wrote, directed and stars in the COVID-era romantic comedy — now playing in theaters and arriving on VOD on July 29 — which features the singing debut of her 16-year-old daughter, Suri Cruise.

"I always want the highest level of talent," Holmes tells Yahoo Entertainment about how the mother-daughter collaboration came about. "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. That's the way I direct in general: It's like, 'This is what I think we all want — go do your thing.'" (Watch our video interview above.)

And Holmes teases that her daughter's singing career won't be a one-and-done affair. "She actually did sing in Rare Objects , which is the film we did last fall," the director says of her recently completed third feature, a period drama based on the 2016 bestseller by Kathleen Tessaro. But don't expect a Suri Cruise arena tour anytime soon. "Other than that, she's a 16-year-old kid doing high school," Holmes says, laughing.

There's a special connection that Holmes and Cruise share to "Blue Moon" as well. The director cites the 1987 Diane Keaton comedy Baby Boom as one of the influences on Alone Together , and is an avowed fan of all things Keaton in general. Not coincidentally, the Annie Hall star covered "Blue Moon" in Rob Reiner's 2014 film, And So It Goes . "Diane met my daughter when she was a year old," Holmes reveals, which makes Cruise's rendition of the classic 1934 ballad in Alone Together a sweet full-circle moment.

Speaking of full-circle moments, Alone Together is going into wide release 25 years after Holmes made her feature film debut in Ang Lee's The Ice Storm . The future Dawson's Creek superstar was only 19 years old when she landed the small, but memorable role of Tobey Maguire's high school crush in that critically acclaimed 1997 drama. Reflecting on that movie a quarter-century later, Holmes says she can see how that formative experience with Lee shaped her own creative evolution into a filmmaker.

"That shoot was so exciting for me — it was my first job," she recalls. "When I was there, I didn't really understand what was happening, but in looking at the film many times after, Ang's ability to capture worlds is so incredible. I think that he's such a poet in the way that he shoots a scene, and the dialogue he uses and how that tells the story in a very simple way. It's all about finding the simplest way to get your story across."

Alone Together pairs Holmes with Jim Sturgess as a pair of New Yorkers who separately make the decision to flee the Big Apple at the height of the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic in early 2020. They both end up booking the same upstate Airbnb and, after some initial uncertainty and confusion, end up taking shelter together. Needless to say, their relationship eventually takes a romantic turn.

Discussing Holmes's directing style, Sturgess praises her ability to let the performers in front of the camera figure out a scene as they're going along. "She gives you this incredible space between action and cut," the 44-year-old actor says. "She very rarely shouted, 'Cut!' actually! You'd think the scene had ended and she just kind of left it hanging. I love that she was always searching for those little nuggets of authenticity."

Like Holmes, Sturgess is celebrating his own cinematic anniversary this year. Fifteen years ago, the British actor made his big Hollywood debut alongside Evan Rachel Wood as the star of Julie Taymor's 2007 musical Across the Universe , inspired by the Beatles's immortal back catalogue. Although the film had a mixed critical and commercial reception upon its release, it has become a cult favorite among fans of unconventional movie musicals, thanks to memorable set-pieces like a spirited song-and-dance sequence in a bowling alley scored to "I've Just Seen a Face."

"I remember being pretty sore after that sequence," Sturgess says now. "We really did try and learn how to slide down these bowling alleys and everyone was genuinely falling over because they were greased up. When you watch the movie [now], you realize they were only interested in the falling down parts, and we were trying our best to stay up! I have great memories of making that film, and I'm bound by that experience to the rest of the cast. We still keep in touch."

So would Holmes and Sturgess reunite for a movie musical of their own? "Absolutely," Holmes says with genuine delight. "I would be honored." And, of course, that film would have to include her daughter performing "Blue Moon" on-camera. "Me and Suri in a movie," Sturgess enthuses. "There you go."

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 praises 'talented' daughter Suri Cruise's singing debut in her new film: 'I let her do her thing'

Katie Holmes gushed about her daughter Suri Cruise's singing in her new film "Alone Together."
The actress praised Cruise's cover of "Blue Moon," saying: "She's very, very talented."
"I always want the highest level of talent, so I asked her," Holmes said of Suri's involvement.

Katie Holmes had nothing but praise for her daughter Suri's singing in the new film "Alone Together," which was directed by and stars Holmes.

"I always want the highest level of talent, so I asked her," the "Dawson's Creek" actress said of Suri's involvement in the project during a recent interview with Yahoo Entertainment .

According to Yahoo, the 16-year-old sings a cover of "Blue Moon" that plays at the beginning of the romantic comedy during the opening credits. "Alone Together" follows two people (played by Holmes and costar Jim Sturgess) in failing relationships who end up at the same Airbnb during the coronavirus lockdown.

What 14 Year Old Suri Cruise's Life Is Like With Mom Katie Holmes

“You’d struggle to find a mom-daughter duo who are more in sync with each other,” a source told Us . “They’re a real team—their connection is a beautiful thing to witness.”

A second source said that Cruise has a close group of friends and is "well liked." She is also a talented athlete. “Suri is very naturally athletic and excels at physical activities like gymnastics and dance,” that source said.

Katie doesn't post about her daughter often, but she shared two tributes on Suri's birthday. "💕Happy Birthday Sweetheart!!!!!!! 💕 I am so blessed to be your mom. May this year be incredible! 💕💕💕💕" she wrote in her first one.

Her second shot was one of her daughter from behind. "Birthday vibes 💕💕" Katie wrote.

Katie spoke to ELLE.com in November about how she tries to be a fitness role model to Suri. "My dad ran the Boston Marathon when he was 45," she said. "I mean, that really set the bar for me. Like, 'Oh, I want to do that. He can do that. That's so cool.' I think it's nice when you have someone who's setting that example. I mean, I like to set nice examples and work out but not be too obsessed or anything like that for my own daughter."

Inside Suri Cruise's Life At Home

Being the daughter of well-known celebrities like Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes comes with a price. Some good, some bad. From her silent birth in 2006 to her inevitable growth into a teenager, the life of Suri Cruise has been both known — and unknown — to the general public. While we can assume that her life at home is drenched in high-class privilege, that kind of lifestyle can be difficult for a growing child to manage — something which Holmes made sure to oversee ever since her sudden divorce from Tom in 2012 . Despite the attention, Suri Cruise may attract due to her notable parents, her life at home isn't entirely lawless. In hopes of granting her daughter some sense of "normalcy" in her life, Holmes tries to instill the values her family taught her into her now 16-year-old daughter (via People).

What are these "normalcies" exactly? Some of these may include freedom of expression, embracing gratitude, and, most importantly, having a good relationship with her family. It's clear Katie Holmes wants nothing but the world for her daughter, but she also wants her to understand the role that privilege plays in the Holmes household. It's merely a construct that allows her to have a great life, not something that determines worth and value. In addition to this, there are a lot of other anecdotes about her life that may shock us. To explore that notion further, here are a few things we know about Suri Cruise's life at home.

Suri Cruise doesn't see her father that often

The relationship between a child and their father should be nurtured and protected. Sadly, this doesn't seem to be the case with Suri Cruise and her absent father. Since Tom Cruise's last public outing with his daughter was in 2012, it's safe to assume that their relationship isn't on good terms. Although Tom stated that he still loves his daughter (via Hollywood Life ), the two haven't had much contact over the years. So much so that in 2016, InTouch Weekly stated that Tom had not seen or spoken to her in over two-and-a-half years. As of April 18, 2021, many believe that the number of days without contact has increased since Tom Cruise spent his daughter's 15th birthday in England shooting "Mission: Impossible 7."

Their strained relationship may have caused Suri Cruise to no longer reach out to her estranged father. Despite custody rulings limiting the number of times Tom could visit her, he seems to blame his fatherly shortcoming on his on-screen commitments — with one source telling New York Post that "if he wanted to see her, he could see her" (via Hindustan Times ) In hopes of avoiding negative attention from the public, Katie and Suri have not spoken about the distressing relationship. As their mother and daughter bond grows fonder, it seems that Tom Cruise may be a sensitive subject that the two choose not to speak about publicly — as it may lead to opening old wounds.

Suri Cruise doesn't practice Scientology

Often, religious beliefs held by parents can wreak havoc on the livelihood of their growing child. Although Suri Cruise spent her earlier years close to those in the Church of Scientology, it was merely due to Tom Cruise's influence. Tom has become a prominent figure in the Church of Scientology ever since his first wife, Mimi Rogers , introduced him to the now-controversial religion (via The Daily Beast ). What Katie Holmes described as an "intense time" for herself and her daughter resulted from a sudden — yet calculated — breakup that saw The Dawson Creek actress escape the clutches of Tom's religious lifestyle. In a deposition regarding his $50 million lawsuit against Life & Style and InTouch magazines for defamation, Tom revealed that his religion may have played a role in his divorce — suggesting that their split was not only for her sake but for Suri's as well (via New York Daily News ).

When asked if Holmes wanted to stay away from Scientology to protect Suri, Tom stated, "Did she say that? That was one of her assertions, yes." Furthermore, when lawyers asked if Holmes still practices Scientology, Tom said, "no." Alongside growing a distaste for the celebrity-centric religion, it seems that Holmes doesn't want her child to be involved with Scientology in any way. Her move from Los Angeles to New York City was likely an attempt to distance herself and her daughter away from the lifestyle she seemingly dislikes.

She attended private school after her parents divorced

To honor Tom's religious beliefs, Suri spent her earlier years being homeschooled. According to an interview with New York Magazine, Katie Holmes said she loved having "one-on-one education." Since their divorce, however, Holmes opted to have Suri attend school in hopes of giving her a normal life — something that most children of successful actors-slash-actresses don't have. Despite reports suggesting that Suri was enrolled in the Manhattan private school, Convent of the Sacred Heart, E! News stated that she attended Avenues in 2012 — the same year Tom and Holmes called it quits. Although Avenues may not have an alum full of notable celebrities like Paris Hilton or Lady Gaga, the lavish private school offers Suri the sense of normalcy that Holmes is looking for. The school enforces dress codes, it's academically advanced, and doesn't offer any special treatment whatsoever.

Although this may seem counterintuitive due to how protective and private Holmes is, she understands the importance of having Suri get a good education without isolating her. It also helps that the luxurious private school doesn't give away information about the students attending the school. According to E! News, an Avenues representative stated, "It is our policy not to comment on any prospective or current student, parent, and family members." While a $40,000 per year private school isn't necessarily "normal," it is as normal as it can get for a child like Suri.

Katie Holmes limits her time online

Since their move to New York City, Katie Holmes seems to dislike drawing attention to herself and her beloved daughter. While we all know about their adorable relationship, we only see glimpses of it through brief responses in interviews and quick snapshots on Holmes' Instagram. According to an interview by People , Holmes is very selective with what she chooses to share on social media. "I try to post things that take time," Holmes stated, "I am careful with what I share; I think about it. To me, it's like a magazine." Although Suri Cruise has grown into her own, it seems that her mother's influence made her stray from social media altogether.

We all know that the internet can be a very dark place. As the daughter of two megastars, Suri may be an easy target for those wanting to leave cruel comments. Despite what some fan accounts may tell you, her presence on social media is practically non-existent. Why? Because Holmes prioritizes living life over experiencing it through a phone. While this may seem unappealing to a child, it appears that Suri has grown into a well-rounded adult because of this. According to Marie Claire , she revealed one of the challenges she's faced as Suri's parent was "limiting the amount of time both her and her daughter spend on the internet."

Suri Cruise does 'small acts of kindness' often

Suri Cruise was fortunate enough to be born into wealth. Oftentimes, you'll find that children with her amount of notoriety have everything at their fingertips — making it easier for them not to be a good person. To prevent Cruise from becoming that "spoiled rich girl," Katie Holmes insisted on giving her daughter a normal upbringing. Through that, Holmes understood her role as a parent, stating, "I do a lot to put perspective on life" (via Today ). According to Holmes, she and Suri spend a lot of time giving back to those in need. "We help out the homeless. We do small acts of kindness," she told Today. "Again it's a daily thing."

Evidence of this can be found on her Instagram page where she shared pictures of their trip to the Morian Refugee Camp — known for its horrific living conditions, overpopulation, and cases of assault — in 2019. As a member of the nonprofit organization Artolution , Holmes volunteered alongside her daughter and several women to craft public art pieces in hopes of invoking positive change (via Marie Claire ). While life at home for Suri may yield privileges many of us wished to have as a child, it seems that Holmes is doing her part in making sure that Suri is aware of those that are less fortunate and doing all that she can to help out. All in the name of being a good human being.

She's encouraged to engage in extracurricular activities

Suri Cruise may have her mother's nurturing personality, but according to Katie Holmes, she definitely has her father's athletic ability (via YouTube ). Knowing this may have influenced Holmes into allowing her daughter to fine-tune her gifts through whatever medium she chooses. Trying to understand your child's sporadic endeavors can be a harrowing task as a parent. However, Holmes intended to create a positive environment in which Suri is encouraged to pursue her aspirations freely. "We just focus on what she's passionate about and how you feel when you achieve your goals. Be true to your sense of opinions," Holmes told Today , "I listen to her."

From her earlier years in ballet to her now natural aptitude for singing , Suri's freedom to engage in extracurricular activities shaped her into the multi-talented teenager she is today. While Holmes can pat herself on her back for raising such a capable individual, Suri's "strong personality" also had a heavy hand in how she went about conquering certain goals. According to an interview with InStyle , Holmes revealed just how much of a hard worker her daughter is — stating, " 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.'" Rinse and repeat. To have this kind of mentality at a young age is truly inspiring. At this point, who knows what else the versatile 16-year-old will master in the near future.

She was allowed to wear makeup at a young age

Katie Holmes has expressed her desire to raise Suri Cruise to be individual. Through that, we may see Holmes use unpopular methods of achieving that, like allowing Suri to wear lipstick at such a young age. Although it doesn't directly harm a child's well-being — depending on how you view it — dowsing your 5-year-old daughter's face in makeup is something that most mothers would disapprove of immediately. Luckily for Suri, Holmes is far from a "regular mom." For those still confused about why this was the case, her interview with Elle magazine in 2011 gave us insight into why this was allowed in the Holmes household.

According to Holmes, Suri expressed interest in fashion when she was only four years old — a year before she was spotted wearing makeup (via Hollywood Life ). Holmes revealed that Suri doesn't hold back her opinions on the outfits her mom chooses to wear. "Like today I'm wearing brown suede pants, and she said, 'I don't like your pants,'" Holmes told Elle (via Yahoo! ), "But then she'll say, 'You've got to wear these shoes.' Or 'That's so pretty, Mom. Wear that.'" Suri's strong opinions and advice on her mother's fashionable ensembles could have potentially led to her allowance to wear makeup. Suri's great eye for fashion caught the attention of the passionate fashionista herself early on. Despite public opinion, Holmes decided to stay faithful to her word and allowed her daughter to express herself through fashion.

Suri Cruise has a strong relationship with her family

A healthy life at home is rooted in the relationship you have with your family. At its core, the support of a loving family can reinforce healthy habits — both physically and mentally — that will stay for years to come. Ever since Holmes' 2012 divorce, she's been firm about raising Suri with the same values she was taught as a child. According to a close relative, Holmes took frequent road trips with Suri to introduce her to her extended family members in Toledo, Ohia (via Radar Online ).

"As the youngest of five, Katie loved growing up in a big family," the family insider stated, "So she wants exactly the same experience for Suri." In hopes of granting Suri a normal life, the family member revealed that Holmes wanted to introduce Suri to her cousins because she was worried Suri wasn't meeting enough kids her own age. Due to Tom Cruise's protective nature, Suri's life at that point was filled with nothing but luxury and privilege. The transition for the 6-year-old princess wasn't easy since she wasn't used to the concept of "sharing her toys with her cousins." However, that slowly faded as the family member stated that her lively personality won them all over. "They'd only ever seen Suri in magazines and in family photos," they told Radar Online, "So they felt extra special to meet a celebrity their own age."

She stays away from the limelight

Although attending a $40,000 per year private school while living in a $25,000-a-month penthouse apartment on the upper west side of Manhattan isn't exactly normal, Holmes does her best to give Suri Cruise the chance to have a private life. Despite run-ins with paparazzi, Suri's appearance in public is usually alongside her mother. When Holmes first moved to New York after her divorce in 2012, she stated that she felt overwhelmed by the amount of attention she was getting (via InStyle ). "That time was intense. It was a lot of attention, and I had a little child on top of it," Holmes told the publication.

This "intense time" for the mother-and-daughter duo was likely the catalyst for their commitment to privacy. In hopes of straying away from the intrusive nature of the public, Holmes tries to shield her daughter away from the limelight as much as she can. An example of this is their "date" at the American Ballet Theatre Spring Gala in New York. The two were spotted leaving the event — which was held in the Metropolitan Opera House — on May 21, 2018. According to Popsugar , Suri, 12, remained close to her mother the whole night. The only time she wasn't hand-in-hand with her mother was on the red carpet. While many assumptions could be made for why this may have been the case, it's safe to assume that Suri didn't take pictures with her mother because of the potential for unwanted attention.

Suri Cruise isn't spoon-fed

Throughout Suri Cruise's earlier years, we could see that her parents would get carried away and adhere to the wishes made by their princess. During Katie Holmes' appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" in 2014 (via YouTube ), the actress revealed just how demanding her daughter could be. With Christmas only being a month away, Holmes stated that this was an anxious time for her because she "can't screw up talking to Santa." Although she revealed that her daughter was somewhat practical, Suri's attention to detail left us hoping that she wouldn't grow into a royal prima donna.

Luckily, Holmes understood how over-gifting can warp a child's perception of life. With the endless amount of privileges Suri has, she made sure not to "inundate her daughter with a lot of things" (via Today ). Despite being decked out in designer clothes as a child, Holmes made it clear that although Suri is privileged enough to be wealthy, that doesn't exclude her from working like everyone else. At 12 years old, Suri seemed to pick up on this as she ran her own lemonade stand at New York City's LGBT Pride parade in 2018. According to an eyewitness, Suri and her friends charged $2 per glass and offered rainbow-themed Rice Krispies treats for those in attendance (via Us Weekly ). "She was very sweet and kind, telling everyone to enjoy their day and would smile whenever someone walked past," the eyewitness stated, "Very sweet."

The Untold Truth Of Suri Cruise

It's risky business being a celebrity baby, especially when your parents are Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Perhaps it was the unexpectedness of Maverick from "Top Gun" and Joey from "Dawson's Creek" getting hitched and having a child together that made Suri Cruise an object of fascination while she was still in the womb — and the obsession just kept intensifying after she made her public debut on a Vanity Fair cover in 2006.

The obsession also took some odd turns. Have you ever stopped to wonder what became of the bronze sculpture inspired by Suri's "first poop?" Or whether the snarky blog inspired by TomKat's TomKitten, Suri's Burn Book , still exists? Well, the poo statue was purchased by the online casino Golden Palace for $10,000 and put on display in its museum of oddities, and the blog was last updated in 2020 with a photo of Suri wearing a "Vote" T-shirt.

You might also recall that Tom used to talk about his daughter often during her early years, like when he told Esquire that he entertained her with scripts rather than storybooks. "I'll start with the beginning of the movie and take her through the story beat by beat. Of course, I make it age-appropriate. She's four years old. But she asks all the right questions," he said. There are so many other compelling Suri stories to tell, so do you want her untold truth? Well, read on if you think you can handle her untold truth.

Suri Cruise shares her birthday with another celebrity baby

When Katie Holmes gave birth to Suri Cruise at St. John's Hospital on April 18, 2006, another expectant star was there awaiting the arrival of her little one: Brooke Shields. The model initially thought the helicopters hovering around outside were there for her. "I was like, 'This is an outrage! Who alerted the media? Can I just have a baby?'" Shields recalled on " The Jenny McCarthy Show ." A nurse set her straight by saying, "Honey, it's not for you." If only Suri's Burn Book had existed back then.

Shields' lookalike daughter, Grier Henchy , was born on the same day as Suri. Because Tom Cruise and Shields were able to make nice after their depression meds disagreement, Suri reportedly scored an invite to Grier's first birthday party the following year. According to People , the two tots became such close confidants that they started hanging out regularly and wearing matching clothes. "Suri and Grier love spending time together. They even nap in the same crib," an insider dished.

By 2008, Suri had made friends with a few other celebrity offspring. People reported that she and her parents spent Thanksgiving that year with David Beckham, Victoria Beckham, and their four children. David and Victoria's son Cruz is just one year older than Suri, and it didn't take long for the National Enquirer to conjure up a story about Suri crushing on Cruz. "She lights up whenever he's around," a source told the tabloid.

The fashionista was her family's style supervisor

Perhaps you noticed that Suri Cruise was usually wearing skirts and dresses back when she was papped on the reg. According to her dad, there was a reason for this. "I'd put a pair of pants on her and the next minute I'd turn around and the pants are off and a dress is on," Tom Cruise told Grazia (via X17 ) in 2008. Apparently, Suri also found her mom's taste in trousers questionable. In a 2011 interview with Elle (via Huffpost ), Kate Holmes revealed, "Today I'm wearing brown suede pants, and [Suri] said, 'I don't like your pants.'" She was lucky that Suri let her be seen out in public in them. "She won't let me leave unless I'm wearing what she wants me to wear," Holmes said on "Live with Regis and Kelly" in 2010 (via OK! ). Tom Cruise told Oprah that Suri often picked out his outfits, too.

The red dress Holmes wore to the 2008 Met Gala seemingly met Suri's approval, but her choice of footwear did not. When allowed to work her magic, Holmes' mini-stylist settled on a pair of blue heels with pointy toes. "Suri made me put them on and so I was like, 'Okay, I trust you," Holmes recalled in a 2010 New York Magazine interview. The Met Gala theme that year was "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy," so perhaps the then-two-year-old realized that the red-and-blue combo would give her mom's look a Wonder Woman vibe.

She attended a school founded by a celeb couple

In 2011, Suri Cruise started kindergarten at the New Village Leadership Academy (NVLA) in Calabasas, a private school with some famous founders: Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith . Students were reportedly allowed the luxury of learning at their own pace, which was a big benefit for a busy jet-setter like Suri; it meant that she could play hooky to attend New York Fashion Week with Katie Holmes without having to worry about getting behind in her studies.

There were whispers that the NVLA had ties to the Church of Scientology. In an interview with the Daily Beast , ex-Scientologist Leah Remini called it "a Scientology school," and former teachers claimed that students were taught using Scientology materials and methods. However, a rep for the NVLA told X17 that the academy was unaffiliated with Tom Cruise's religion. Jada didn't deny that the school's curriculum was heavily influenced by Church of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard's Study Technology teaching technique, but in a 2009 email to ABC News , she insisted, "Study Technology is a secular methodology."

There was speculation that Suri's schooling factored into TomKat's split. "[Suri] is coming to an age where she gets educated enough to get locked into the faith," a former Scientology official explained to the Independent in 2012 after Holmes filed for divorce . That same year, Holmes enrolled Suri in Avenues, a pricey Manhattan private school. A year after it lost its star pupil, the NVLA shut down.

Suri Cruise was bottle and binky-shamed

In 2008, some tabloids had readers questioning whether it was wrong for 2-year-old Suri Cruise to still be drinking out of a baby bottle. "Aren't you a bit old for that bottle, Suri Cruise?" read the title of a Daily Mail article that the toddler definitely read. ABC News , meanwhile, reminded its readers that the recommended age for eliminating bottle-feeding is 12 months and consulted with a medical professional who said that prolonged bottle use can cause dental problems. Suri was still hitting the bottle in 2009 — but this time, the 3-year-old thumbed her nose at the Suri-shamers by guzzling down some Pellegrino . The posh tot was even gripping her glass bottle with one hand.

Critics found another reason to pounce on Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes for their parenting decisions in 2011 when Suri was photographed with a pacifier in her mouth. She was five years old at the time, and pediatrician Dr. Ari Brown told Fox News that it was a bad idea for kids her age to still be using a binky because they might develop a bad habit. "They don't explore with hands, but instead put everything in their mouth and are therefore picking up a lot more germs," Brown said. Perhaps this explains why Suri was spotted gnawing on one of her flip-flops.

Sorry to Suri's haters, but she actually became a trendsetter; two other celeb kids, Harper Beckham and Moroccan Cannon , also used pacifiers past age 4.

Katie Holmes had to defend Suri Cruise's fashion choices

Suri Cruise taught us some valuable style lessons when her age was still in the single digits, such as how an Elmo doll is the ideal accessory for a red $285 Dolce and Gabbana coat. But one person who wasn't impressed with Suri's style was "Project Runway" host Tim Gunn. "She's her mother and father's dress up doll and I feel in many ways she's a fashion victim," he told Access (via Today ) in 2010. He also said of Suri's famous toddler-sized high heels, "It's really inappropriate."

At age three, Suri misstepped on a wet Boston sidewalk and lost a silver heel. "Are you sure you're ready for heels, Suri?" the Daily Mail asked. After seeing photographs of Suri's Cinderella moment, podiatrist Dr. Oliver Zong told Fox News that her choice of footwear put her at risk of being injured. "A pair of heels that is too tight could damage the growing bones of her feet," he added. However, Katie Holmes told Access that Suri's shoes were designed to be safer to move in than your average heel. "They are actually ballroom dancing shoes for kids," she said.

Holmes also had to explain photos of Suri looking cold without a coat in freezing weather. She told InStyle that her daughter had simply refused to wear any of her many designer jackets. "I said, 'Suri, I'll take the hit. Just put it on when you get cold,'" she recalled (via E! ).

Why she was photographed with age-inappropriate sweets

In 2011, Suri Cruise was photographed holding a box of candies that you might see used as a garnish for a naughty cocktail at a bachelorette party. The label on the box clearly said "Penis Gummies," an accurate description of the sweets' anatomical shapes. Katie Holmes was carrying Suri when the little girl grabbed the box from a shelf where other similar novelty items were displayed.

Holmes and her daughter were at the popular New York restaurant Serendipity 3, which is known for its decadent desserts; perhaps you've heard of its $1000 Golden Opulence Sundae, which is coated with gold leaf instead of a chocolate shell. During an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," Holmes said she was unaware that the eatery sold X-rated sweets as well. "We're waiting for a table, and she grabs some gummies that are 'boy part' gummies, and I was horrified!" she recalled (via Radar ).

Holmes claimed that Serendipity 3 is a kid-oriented establishment, but Joe Calderone, a rep for the restaurant, told Radar that this is untrue. He also expressed concern that the gummies incident would make Holmes reticent to bring Suri there again. "Suri is the cutest and so well behaved and she's a princess," he said. However, she's also been photographed screaming over ice cream and sporting smeared chocolate on her face, so Holmes probably should have made sure to always keep a watchful eye over young Suri whenever there were sweets in the vicinity.

She was a big Disney princess fan

When Suri Cruise was born, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' spokesperson released a statement saying that one meaning for her unique name is "princess," and she certainly lived up to her monicker. Suri made her first visit to Disneyland in 2009, and Holmes said that getting to meet Disney royalty was a highlight of the experience for the child. "She loves the princesses," she told Us Weekly . "Actually, she loves being a princess."

Suri got the princess treatment for her third birthday that year when her parents presented her with a "Beauty and the Beast" cake, and she rocked a Princess Belle hoodie over a Princess Jasmine costume during a 2013 trip to Disney World in Florida. The year prior, her dad had arranged for her to have the ultimate Disney princess fan experience: staying in the theme park's Cinderella's Castle Suite. According to People , the suite can't be reserved by anyone, so Tom likely had to receive a special invitation from Disney.

According to Tom's "Knight and Day" castmate Cameron Diaz, young Suri didn't just admire the House of Mouse's royal family. "Suri does know I'm Princess Fiona. I'm not going to speak for her, but yes, I think she does [love Shrek]," Diaz told People (via the Belfast Telegraph ) in 2010. But by 2016, Suri was embracing democracy over monarchy; on " Today Show Radio ," Holmes said that it pained her little princess that Hillary Clinton had lost the presidential election.

She lost her dog after pouting over a puppy

In July 2012, a seriously sad moment for Suri Cruise was immortalized by the intrusive lens of the pack of paparazzi that trail her everywhere. The Daily Mail published photos of Suri pouting as she was seemingly told that she couldn't take home an adorable puppy from Citipup in NYC. She reportedly left the pet store in tears, and just think of the life of luxury that poor pup missed out on when Katie Holmes taught her daughter that she can't have everything that she wants.

It turns out that Holmes couldn't hold out forever. However, she decided to adopt, not shop, when she allowed Suri to welcome a new fur baby into their home in 2014. Unfortunately, Suri's rescue Chihuahua, Honey, went missing mere weeks after her adoption. According to TMZ , Honey escaped through a gate while Suri was swimming with her at the Beverly Hills home of a friend. Desperate to be reunited with her beloved dog, Suri put posters up in the neighborhood promising a reward of $1,000 for her safe return.

Don't worry — this lost pet story has a happy ending. The employees of a local dog rescue found the lucky pooch just a few days after she went missing, per TMZ , and as of 2020, Suri was still being a responsible dog owner by taking Honey and another cute canine out for walks.

She discovered a passion for performing

By age three, Suri Cruise had already started taking tap dancing and ballet lessons. "I think she's going to do a lot of different things. She's an amazing athlete, singer, and dancer, and I think she'll probably be an actress," her mom predicted to InStyle in 2011 (via Today ). She reportedly made at least one attempt at learning how to play an instrument as well. A source told Page Six that Suri spoke to Broadway actor Alex Brightman after watching him perform in "School of Rock: The Musical" in 2016, and she told him that she tried taking guitar lessons at some point. However, she ended up firing her instructor. "She said she was 'a very nice person,' but that it didn't work out," the insider revealed.

In 2014, Katie Holmes spoke to People about the nurturing home environment she had created for Suri. "I also try to be very creative with her, because I know she's an artist," she said. There was some evidence that the loving mom's emphasis on the arts was paying off in December 2023 when Suri landed a major role in a school play. According to Page Six , she was cast in "The Addams Family: A New Musical" as Morticia Addams, a role previously immortalized by Carolyn Jones, Anjelica Huston, Daryl Hannah, and Catherine Zeta-Jones. "She was amazing," said one play attendee. Perhaps Holmes's prediction about her daughter's future profession is spot-on.

Was Suri Cruise spoiled as a young child?

Perhaps because her parents have admitted to indulging at least some of her whims, there have been many rumors about just how lavish Suri Cruise's life really is. "Whatever she wants to wear, she wears it. I'm not going to tell her different," Tom Cruise said on "Oprah." And in 2008, a source told E! News that Suri didn't just do as she pleased when it came to picking out her trendy apparel. "[Tom] does whatever Suri wants. He defers to her on everything," the insider claimed. According to a 2010 report by Star Magazine (via Hollywood Life ), Suri's nannies also had to let her have her way, from allowing her to practice her makeup application skills on their faces to serving her sweets in the middle of the night.

While tabloid tales aren't always true, there is photographic evidence that Suri's parents didn't treat her like a typical toddler; instead of toting around an inexpensive purse from the toy section of a big-box retailer, she was bringing a Salvatore Ferragamo handbag worth $750 with her on a helicopter trip. But according to Holmes, her daughter doesn't spend all day shopping and ordering nannies around. "If she doesn't get her chores done, I notice she's not really herself," she told Marie Claire in 2010. "She has to make her bed, she has to take her dishes to the sink, she has to put her clothes in the laundry."

The last time she was seen with her dad

One month after Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise's five-year marriage ended in 2012, Tom took Suri Cruise to Disney's Typhoon Lagoon water park in Florida. He was photographed being an attentive dad during the outing — there were smiles aplenty as he and Suri splashed around in a pool, and he made their time together even more fun by tossing her up in the air. In 2016, Us Weekly reported that the father and daughter hadn't been spotted together again since then.

When Tom took Bauer Media Group to court over an In Touch report claiming that he had "abandoned" Suri, he was forced to admit that his involvement with the Church of Scientology was a contributing factor in Holmes' decision to divorce him. According to The Hollywood Reporter , he confirmed in a 2013 deposition that Holmes felt like she needed to shield Suri from the religion.

While Holmes has remained tight-lipped about Tom's relationship with Suri — or lack thereof — she did make the unusual move of having her rep deny a 2014 report claiming that Suri had visited her dad on Christmas Day. "[Holmes] and Suri spent Christmas afternoon visiting children at a local hospital in L.A.," the rep told E! News . Almost a decade later, a source told Page Six that Suri and her father were still estranged and had been for a long while.

Her mom took advantage of her singing talent

When Suri Cruise was just two years old, Tom Cruise told Extra that she was fond of singing. In an alternate universe, maybe the father and daughter would have performed together in a "Rock of Ages" sequel — in an interview with the Mirror, Cruise did say that one reason he wanted to play a rocker is because Suri and her mom both love musicals (via NDTV ). But it was Katie Holmes who would eventually convince Suri to showcase her vocal talent in one of her projects.

Suri sings the wistful classic "Blue Moon" in "Alone Together," a 2022 film written and directed by her mom. However, she doesn't appear in the movie; her vocals are featured in its opening credits. In an interview with Yahoo! Entertainment , Holmes praised her daughter's performance by giving her the type of effusive compliment that will make teens roll their eyes. "I always want the highest level of talent, so I asked her!" the proud mom gushed.

The end credits of Holmes' 2023 movie "Rare Objects" also feature Suri's singing, and if her mom gets her way, we'll be hearing a lot more of it in the future. "I hope she always does something on my films," Holmes told Glamour . "I always ask her. ... It was very meaningful to me to have her there, because she's my heart."

Suri Cruise is a Swiftie

There was once a rumor that Taylor Swift was going to star alongside Tom Cruise in "Rock of Ages," but it was Katie Holmes that she ended up working with. After starring alongside Swift in the 2014 movie "The Giver," Holmes had nothing but praise for the pop powerhouse. "She is awesome ... I love that girl," she told Extra . "I just think she is so smart. She's so young, really brilliant and works very, very hard." In other words, she's exactly the type of role model a mom would want her tween to have.

We're betting that Holmes scored some major brownie points with Suri when she allowed her to help introduce Swift to the crowd at Z100 New York's 2017 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball, per ET . For the occasion, Suri wore a blue star-print dress that looked like something Swift herself might pick out. While holding hands with her daughter, Holmes said, "She's one of our favorite performers and who is it tonight?" Suri then enthused, "Taylor Swift!"

Suri might be angling for a Girl Squad spot these days, but there was a time when the apparent pop music fan was all about that girl power. Thanks to her mom's friendship with Victoria Beckham, she got to meet the Spice Girls in 2007. The girl group even performed for Suri, Holmes, and Tom Cruise. "Suri danced along to the music," read a post on the band's website .

Suri Cruise has seen Dawson's Creek

Katie Holmes didn't wait for Suri Cruise's high school years to be over to show her "Dawson's Creek." Holmes was 18 when she began playing Joey Potter in the hit teen soap, and Suri was approaching that age when she was forced to confront the burning question: Team Dawson or Team Pacey? Holmes told Variety that Suri started watching the series sometime after the pandemic hit, so she was either 13 or 14. "I think it's probably weird since she's a teenager," Holmes said. "I'm not like, 'You need to watch mommy's work.'" (Remember, Holmes used to date her co-star Joshua Jackson, so that had to add an extra layer of weirdness to Suri's viewing experience.) Some teens might react to watching their mom pretend to fall in love and lust by becoming unbearably embarrassed, but Holmes recalled, "We had a good laugh about it."

Before Suri decided to check out a TV time capsule of the late '90s and early aughts, she became a big fan of a far different entertainment genre: movie musicals. One of her favorites starred a famous Scientologist who was not her father. "My daughter has seen ["Hairspray"] 15 times," Tom Cruise told the Los Angeles Times in 2011. Suri also loved watching the 1999 made-for-TV "Annie" movie. Recalling a conversation he had with Holmes, one of the film's stars, Victor Garber, said to People (via Huffpost ), "She's seen it sixty times because of her daughter."

She enjoys doing many activities with her mom

Katie Holmes' relationship with Suri Cruise is the stuff that dramedies about an unbreakable mother-daughter bond are made of. "I love her so much," Holmes told InStyle (via People ). "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."

Holmes and Suri are pretty inseparable. They've attended many Broadway shows together, including "Cats" and "Finding Neverland," and sometimes Holmes takes her daughter backstage to meet the casts of the plays. Don't think for a second that Suri is growing out of wanting to spend time with her mom, either; she was photographed helping Holmes celebrate her 45th birthday in 2023.

When Holmes opens up about what she and Suri enjoy doing together, she often describes activities they do at home. In a 2013 Us Weekly interview, she shared that she and Suri like to make their own bouquets for Valentine's Day, and she told Amazing Magazine (via the Daily Mail ) that they cooked and worked on quilts during lockdown. She and Suri even exercise together sometimes. "But I don't force her to work out with me because I know that's lame," Holmes said in a 2022 interview with Shape . In addition to being Suri's bestie, Holmes tries to be a good mom by leading by example. She told People , "Between tickle fights and glitter art, I try to throw in some manners along the way."
