US report: Tom Cruise 'My side of the story' - why he hasn't seen Suri

• 06 Sep 2019

Tom Cruise was last seen publicly with his daughter Suri , 13, when she was seven years old.

However, since his divorce from her mother Katie Holmes the father and daughter are rumoured to be estranged from one another. But according to sources, Tom, a devout Scientologist , says he’s ready to make some changes with his relationship with Suri.

“I think enough time has passed now that the sting of Katie leaving him has dissipated,” the insider tells American magazine In Touch .

“It’s just time. It was heartbreaking and humiliating for Tom when Katie left him. He must have felt lied to.”

According to the publication Tom “recently sent a message to Katie”.

“Tom made it clear he intends to see Suri again. Something seems to have shifted in Tom’s world.”

Tom had a great relationship with Suri

Despite Tom having 10 days a month to see Suri, insiders say that to date, the actor has not taken up the opportunity to bond with his daughter and Katie is considered a “suppressive person” at odds with the Church of Scientology.

But now, In Touch reports that that Tom is hoping to see his daughter again.

‘There’s his acting world, his religion world and now, hopefully Suri will be part of his life again. I truly believe he wants a relationship with her. At the end of the day Suri only has one father and that’s Tom,’ adds the source.

The In Touch magazine cover story that the US is talking about

The reports follow allegation carried in another American publication that Tom’s reported lack of involvement is due to religious teachings.   “Tom’s not allowed spiritual counselling in the church if he has any connection with Katie, so Suri would be collateral damage,” former Scientologist Samantha Domino told  National Enquirer .

According to Samantha, Tom may believe that although he does not have a relationship with her now, that he may see her in another lifetime.

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."

Tom Cruise still has ‘no part’ in 16-year-old daughter Suri’s life

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

Tom Cruise continues to be estranged from his daughter, Suri Cruise, Page Six can confirm.

A source tells us exclusively that the “Mission: Impossible” star, 60, has not seen the 16-year-old in a very long time and is not a part of her life.

Reps for Tom did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.

The movie star welcomed Suri with his then-girlfriend, Katie Holmes, in April 2006, but after the former couple split in 2011 , the father-daughter duo drifted further and further apart.

Tom admitted in transcripts from his 2012 defamation lawsuit against Bauer Media that he had not seen Suri for three months right after he and Holmes, now 44, called it quits.

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

During a deposition for that same $50 million suit — which was ultimately settled — the “Top Gun” star confessed that his ties to Scientology had played a pivotal role in why he was separated from his kid.

When asked whether Holmes had left him “in part to protect Suri from Scientology,” Tom responded at the time, “That was one of the assertions, yes.”

In 2016, the controversial church was once again blamed for keeping Tom and Suri apart because, according to its rules, members are forbidden from associating with nonbelievers.

Since neither Suri nor Holmes were Scientologists, Tom reportedly could not have a relationship with either one.

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

Former Scientologist Leah Remini told The Post in 2020 that Scientology considers Holmes a “suppressive person,” which is an “enemy,” and therefore Tom believes he “can’t be connected to Suri.”

The “King of Queens” alum, who has been fighting to publicly expose the alleged misdeeds of the Church of Scientology, speculated of Tom, “I’m sure his master plan is to wait until Suri gets older so that he can lure her into Scientology and away from her mother.”

Aside from the drama involving her father, Suri appears to live a relatively normal life with her mom in New York City.

Over the years, she has been photographed casually going for a stroll in the Big Apple and hanging with a small group of friends .

In 2017, Holmes spoke about wanting to give her daughter a “stable” childhood .

The “Dawson’s Creek” alum told Town & Country at the time, “My child is the most important person to me, and her upbringing is paramount to my work right now.

“It’s very important that I’m present and she has a stable, innocent childhood. I feel so blessed to do what I do, but there’s nothing in the world better than watching your child succeed.”

Holmes’ rep did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.

Here’s How Tom Cruise Feels About Being ‘Estranged’ From Suri After Missing Her 15th Birthday

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

After Suri Cruise was spotted out and about celebrating her birthday in New York City, many still have one question on their minds: Does Tom Cruise see Suri these days? As it turns out, her father was noticeably absent from Suri’s 15th birthday celebrations. Meanwhile, her mom Katie Holmes made sure to share a sweet birthday message on her daughter’s big day.

“Happy 15th Birthday, Sweetheart! I love you,” Katie wrote, sharing some rare family photos of her daughter on Instagram. “I can’t believe you are already 15!” Suri, meanwhile, celebrated her 15th birthday on Sunday, April 18 by joining some friends in Manhattan. The teen was photographed around the city as she posed for selfies and stopped for some ice cream while hanging out with her pals. Her mom Katie, 42, wasn’t photographed alongside Suri and her friends, but she wasn’t far away; the Dawson’s Creek  alum gave her daughter some space as she went shopping for birthday presents nearby. But where was Tom? The  Mission: Impossible  star, 58, wasn’t in New York City—let alone the same country on Suri’s birthday.

Tom missed Suri’s birthday as he was in England filming scenes for the seventh film in the Mission: Impossible franchise alongside co-star and rumored girlfriend Hayley Atwell . The duo were spotted shooting at a railway in Pickering, North Yorkshire at the time. This comes months after reports first claimed that filming on Mission: Impossible  7  had wrapped in December 2020 following Tom’s now-infamous rant on the M:I7  set, where he berated staffers for breaking social distancing protocols.

While it’s unknown if Tom was in communication with her daughter on her birthday, one source tells HollywoodLife that the actor “still loves” Suri, before hinting at the state of their relationship. “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,” the insider told the site on Tuesday, April 20. Suri is Tom’s youngest child, and the actor also has two children from his previous marriage to Nicole Kidman, whom he divorced in 2001 after 11 years of marriage. The exes share son Connor, 26, and daughter Isabella, 28.

Does Tom Cruise See His Daughter Suri Cruise? The Two Have Reportedly Not Been in Touch for Years

The reported rift between Tom Cruise and his daughter, Suri Cruise, began soon after his divorce from her mother, Katie Holmes, in 2012. Although Tom and Suri communicated over the short period that followed, the pair allegedly became more and more estranged.

Suri Cruise took her first breath on April 19, 2006, several months before her parents, actors Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, tied the knot. She was a healthy baby who weighed seven pounds and seven ounces and measured 20 inches in height.

During an interview, her dad gushed about her birth, saying it was everything he and Katie wanted it to be. The experience was etched in Tom's mind as he said he kept "reliving" it; the Scientologist felt it was "spiritual" and "powerful."

While Katie still carried the youngster, Tom had even acquired an ultrasound machine to use until after Suri's birth , though many medical experts advised against the purchase. He was committed to being part of Suri's life in her early years, but that changed after he lost her custody to Katie.

Suri Cruise Is a Budding New York Fashionista

The 16-year-old currently lives with her mom in New York City. The pair are often seen traveling together in the city, and it's clear Suri has adopted the actress's sense of style . In September of last year, they were spotted wearing coordinated outfits as they prepared to go out of town.

Suri wore distressed denim shorts, a white top, and white sneakers, while Katie donned a red-and-white striped shirt with a denim button-up chambray skirt and matching red ballet flats. In December 2022, the two enjoyed dinner at Los Tacos No.1.

They donned coordinated outfits once more. Suri's mom sported an oversized fleece coat with black trousers and trainers, while she wore a similar-colored padded jacket with a fluffy black scarf wrapped around her neck, black joggers, and white sneakers.

Suri wore the padded jacket again, paired with brown trousers with large white stripes at the sides, a few days after last Christmas, as she and her mother were photographed at Newark Airport . The pair also exercises together now and then, with occasionally overlapping routines.

Tom Cruise and Suri Are Reportedly Not in Touch with Each Other​ ​​​​​​

Suri was six years old when her mom filed for divorce from her dad. Although her parents didn't immediately divulge the reasons for their separation, many media outlets suggested Katie was trying to protect Suri from Scientology, despite having previously adopted the religion herself.

Tom – also previously married to Nicole Kidman with two children – eventually admitted that that was the case. Suri never joined Scientology, and many believed it was the main reason Tom stayed out of her life. However, sources close to the action star said he never wished for his family to fall apart.

He only received visitation rights – with sources claiming Katie only gained full custody after agreeing to be contractually bound from speaking ill of the Scientology church – which allowed him to see his daughter for up to 10 days a month.

Tom reportedly remained in touch with Suri through text messages and video calls but never visited her; he last saw her when she was seven. According to a source close to the predicament, his excuses for his absence were tight film schedules.

However, those excuses started carrying less weight with Suri, which affected their relationship. It's unknown if they're still in contact with each other at this point. They live far apart, too, with Suri in New York and Tom living in London, England, as of April 2021.

Why Tom Cruise 'Chooses Not To See' His Daughter 11 Years After Their Last Sighting Together

She has been deemed a "suppressive person.".

By Alice Kelly — Last updated on Mar 04, 2023

Tom Cruise’s relationship with his daughter, Suri Cruise, is a topic that has long-bewildered fans of the actor.

In the 2000s, Cruise and Katie Holmes were regularly blasted across tabloids with their daughter. But, following their divorce in 2012, Cruise’s public appearances with Suri were rare.

Here are all the details on Tom Cruise and Suri Cruise's relationship now.

Does Tom Cruise see Suri?

Rumors have circulated that Cruise's role in the Church of Scientology has complicated his relationship with his youngest child.

Tom Cruise has not been seen publicly with Suri since 2012 and is reportedly estranged from his daughter.

According to Us Weekly, it has been 11 years since the "Top Gun" star was seen publicly with Suri, who is now 16 — almost 17 — years old.

It is unclear whether he has seen or spoken to her behind closed doors but Page Six claims the star has not seen Suri since she was 7.

“If he wanted to see her, he could see her,” one source told Page Six . “Even people in prison have a right to see their children.”

Katie Holmes has custody of Suri but Cruise was given visitation rights.

The “Mission Impossible” actor and the “Dawson’s Creek” alum settled proceedings just 11 days after Holmes filed for divorce. Holmes was granted custody of their daughter.

Cruise was given visitation rights of 10 days per month but sources claim he opts not to see her.

“He chooses not to because she is not a Scientologist,” claimed an Us Weekly source in 2018.   Cruise reportedly pays over $33,000 per month in child support for Suri.

“He still loves her,” a source told Hollywood Life in 2019.

“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.”

Katie Holmes allegedly took Suri away from Tom Cruise to save her from Scientology.

Cruise is a member of the controversial Church of Scientology, a religious group often accused of being both a dangerous cult and a manipulative profit-making business.

Holmes also studied Scientology during their marriage but reportedly left Cruise to avoid becoming further entrenched in the group.

The actress now lives primarily in New York City with Suri, a relocation that may have helped her get her daughter out of the church.

In a 2013 libel suit against Bauer Media, whose magazines claimed he abandoned his daughter Suri Cruise, Cruise labeled the suggestion that Holmes divorced him "in part to protect Suri from Scientology" as “offensive.”

However, when asked if his ex-wife ever indicated that she left because of the religion or because she wanted to protect their daughter from Scientology, Cruise responded:

"Did she say that? That was one of the assertions, yes."

This likely means that Suri and Holmes have both been deemed a “Suppressive Person” by the church — a term Scientologists use to describe people who impede the progress of individual Scientologists or the Scientology movement.

Sources say that anyone who leaves the church is cut off from all members of the church, including their immediate family.

It is suspected that Holmes has been banned from speaking about Scientology.

The actress has never publicly spoken about her ex-husband’s religion nor why she left the church and critics of the group have suggested that she might be legally restricted from doing so.

Tony Ortega, former editor-in-chief of The Village Voice and a critic of Scientology, told Us Weekly that Holmes probably signed “some nondisclosure agreement saying she wouldn’t say anything bad about Scientology.”

“She wanted to get away and she wanted to get Suri,” Ortega explains.

He also suggested that she has been advised not to associate with Leah Remini, a fellow actress who has been outspoken about leaving the church.

“I’m sure her father, who’s a smart attorney, has probably told her that hanging out with Leah would be considered disparaging the church in the eyes of Tom and the church,” Ortega says.

Tom Cruise appears to have a relationship with the children he shares with Nicole Kidman.

Cruise also shares two adult children, Connor and Isabella, with ex-wife Nicole Kidman and, by all accounts, seems close with them. 

Both children, who were adopted by the former couple, recently promoted their father’s new movie, “Top Gun: Maverick” on their social media platforms.

Connor and Isabella are active members of the Church Of Scientology.

“They are adults," Kidman said about their faith in 2018. "They are able to make their own decisions. They have made choices to be Scientologists and as a mother, it’s my job to love them."

Tom Cruise: Why I Didn't See Suri for 100 Days

In a court battle, he answers tough questions about his parenting and Scientology

Samantha Miller is the Editorial Director for Entertainment at PEOPLE, overseeing coverage of talent, news and buzz in the entertainment world. She joined PEOPLE in 1995.

A court battle has put Tom Cruise in the hot seat, forcing him to answer questions about his time away from daughter Suri and his ex-wife Katie Holmes ‘s departure from Scientology.

In a deposition taken in Los Angeles on Sept. 9 (a transcript of which was filed publicly), Cruise was questioned by Elizabeth McNamara, the lawyer for Bauer Publishing, which Cruise is suing for $50 million over an In Touch cover story claiming he “abandoned” Suri after his June 2012 divorce from Holmes.

Cruise acknowledged that he didn’t see Suri, 7½, in person for more than 100 days, from Aug. 4, 2012, when they wrapped up a weeklong father-daughter vacation to Disney World , until that Thanksgiving .

“Unfortunately in this situation it was impossible” with his intense filming schedule in London on the sci-fi thriller All You Need Is Kill , Cruise said.

Cruise said he phoned Suri nearly every day, though agreed that phone calls are a poor substitute for seeing a child in person. Talking to a young child on the phone, “you have to work at it. I’ve gotten very good at it. I tell wonderful stories,” he said. “I also find that, you know, Suri is a very happy child, and confident, and has a good sense of herself.”

Cruise didn’t travel to New York City for Suri’s first day of school that September due to his work schedule and concerns about the media attention, he said, adding that Suri had never brought it up.

“If she had asked me to be there, I would have been there,” he said. “I would have worked it out in any way I could.” He said he also couldn’t leave the “grueling” movie shoot when Holmes later suggested he come to New York in October, and other times the exes couldn’t work out scheduling for a visit.

“Things change and there is different agreements, like in any divorce, where you work out schedules,” he said. “It’s just a different set of circumstances. It certainly does not mean that I’ve abandoned my daughter.”

In the wide-ranging, often contentious deposition, Cruise’s attorney Bert Fields was on hand as the star was forced to answer questions about everything from his use of private jets to Scientology.

He revealed that Suri is no longer practicing the religion. Pressed about whether Holmes left him to “protect” Suri from Scientology, Cruise responded, “I find that question offensive. There is no need to protect my daughter from my religion.”

But asked whether Holmes left him in part for that reason, Cruise said, “that was one of the assertions, yes. There are many other aspects to the divorce.”

Cruise also was asked about Scientology’s definition of a “suppressive person,” which includes, according to a definition on the church’s website, those who publicly renounce Scientology and therefore lose “fellowship with the Church as well as with other Scientologists.”

Cruise said that description was accurate, but when asked whether the church would consider Holmes to be a suppressive person, he responded: “That is a distortion and simplification of the matter. I don’t want to just give an oversimplification of religious doctrine.

He acknowledged that his older kids, Isabella and Connor, whose mom is Nicole Kidman , haven’t had contact with Holmes since the split.

'Top Gun: Maverick' Star Tom Cruise Allegedly Does "Not Have a Part" in Daughter Suri's Life

Mar. 22 2023, Updated 2:03 p.m. ET

Today, it isn't unusual in Hollywood for celebrity stars to get divorced. Although divorce used to be a very taboo thing, public perception has shifted significantly over the past several decades. Now, it's more surprising to hear of celebrities who have been married for any length of time — especially after they have children.

Famous couples have been learning how to co-parent after divorce for many, many years, but not all seem to have solid relationships. Does Tom Cruise ( Top Gun: Maverick ) see Suri, his youngest daughter? New details involving Tom's messy 2012 split from Katie Holmes ( Dawson's Creek ) have been revealed.

Does Tom Cruise see his daughter Suri?

According to Us Weekly , Tom hadn't seen his daughter in several years. The publication reports the two were last photographed together in 2013 (the same year Tom sued In Touch for $50 million after the publication reported that he "abandoned" his daughter), which was only one year after his ex-wife and mother of Suri, Katie Holmes, filed for divorce. The lack of sightings likely has to do with Tom's controversial religion, Scientology. However, he previously denied Scientology's role in the estrangement.

"Samantha Domingo, the former follower who left the organization in 2004, told Us that the sighting was likely just for appearances," the publication said. According to Samantha, Tom doesn't have a relationship with her because he's "not allowed," as his daughter is no longer in Scientology.

Because of this, the church doesn't view Suri as Tom's daughter, but rather a "spiritual being in Tom's daughter's body."

“Maybe he did it for a photo op,” Samantha told the publication, “to make it seem like he was connected so he wouldn’t be criticized.”

However, when Katie filed for divorce from Tom after seven years, the two reached a very quick settlement and their divorce was finalized only 11 days after it was filed. With their divorce, Katie received primary custody of their daughter, Suri, who was 6 years old at the time, and Tom was granted visitation rights.

Suri — who lives in New York with her mom — is Tom's third child. His older two children are from his second marriage with Nicole Kidman ( Big Little Lies ). The two actors adopted children while they were married and are now parents to 28-year-old son Connor and 30-year-old daughter Isabella Jane.

Reports indicate Tom still has relationships with both Connor and Isabella (who allegedly remained in Scientology) following his 2001 divorce from Nicole.

Suri Cruise hopes to attend fashion school in New York City.

In 2023, Suri — who's about to turn 17 — reportedly started the college application process. She's "leaning towards" studying fashion (and possibly music) in the Big Apple. With a wardrobe reportedly worth $5 million, Suri's passion for fashion is unmatched.

"Suri is applying to schools all over the place. [Katie] really does want her to stay in New York so they can be close to each other. Katie takes great pride in her but is also extremely overprotective," a source close to Katie told Daily Mail .

While "overwhelmed" mom Katie is assisting her daughter with the daunting application process, Tom's absence continues.

The insider specifically stated that the Jerry Maguire star does "not have a part in [Suri's] life." That being said, he will be paying for Suri's college tuition.

Divorce documents state that Tom agreed to pay $400,000 a year in child support, covering Suri's "medical, dental, insurance, education, college, and other extracurricular costs."

Though Tom seemingly doesn't provide emotional support of any kind, the source admitted his financial dedication to Suri is stellar.

"Tom has always maintained his responsibilities when it comes to financial obligations to Katie and Suri," the insider detailed.

Suri's relationship with her father may have fizzled, but supermom Katie provides more than enough love.

"Being raised by a single mom in New York has made Suri who she is. Katie has always put Suri first and Suri loves her mom more than anything," the insider said. "She is a smart girl, and she is turning into a very intelligent mature woman. She has a very close group of loyal friends, and she knows exactly where she comes from."

Here's hoping Suri's college experience is fulfilling and drama-free.

Tom Cruise Gives Clear Sign Daughter Suri's 18th Birthday Isn't On His Radar

As old as it makes us feel, Suri Cruise is an adult now. On April 18, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' daughter celebrated her 18th birthday. As Holmes has worked to protect Suri's privacy as much as possible, we shouldn't expect to learn many details about her big day. But we have good reasons to believe Tom won't be a part of it. The "Mission: Impossible" star won't even be in the country when she blows out her candles. As sad as it is, it's also unsurprising.

Tom is said to be estranged from Suri , with reports claiming he hasn't seen his youngest child in more than a decade. The last time the two were photographed together was in 2013, two years after Tom and Holmes' messy divorce . Suri was just 7. Even though he wasn't seeing her, Tom reportedly still talked to Suri frequently in the first years post-split. "They used to Skype and text, but that trailed off drastically," a source told InTouch in 2016. 

While Tom often blames the estrangement on his busy schedule, the insider said the issues go deeper. "He uses his film commitments as an excuse, but the truth is that [he] doesn't hold much weight with Suri anymore." Tom still has obligations with Suri, though. As she gets ready to reportedly study fashion, Tom will likely be the one paying for her college , as established by his divorce settlement. But, as the document says nothing about birthdays, he has consistently been skipping those.

Tom Cruise was in London ahead of Suri's birthday

On April 17, Tom Cruise was all smiles while walking the streets of London (seen above), suggesting Suri Cruise's milestone birthday wasn't on his mind. Tom is in the U.K. capital filming the eighth "Mission: Impossible" movie and is expected to be there all week, according to the Daily Mail . The timeline indicates he won't be flying to New York to celebrate with his daughter. But Suri seemed to be having a great time regardless of her father's absence. 

On the eve of her birthday, she was spotted strolling through New York with friends while carrying gifts, Hello! reported. Suri may have made her peace with the fact Tom won't be there, but that reportedly wasn't always the case. In earlier years, Suri still held hope he would come around. "Like any little girl, her greatest wish is for her father to be there, and now she's been disappointed again," a source told Star when she turned 12 in 2018 (via YourTango ).

However, other sources have said Tom talks to Suri on her birthdays. "Suri gets a gift from Tom on her birthday every year and this year was no exception," an insider told HollywoodLife  in 2018. The following year, he intended to do the same, a source told HollywoodLife . It's unclear whether he did or didn't, but Tom reportedly struggles with the estrangement. "As challenging as things have become for him and his daughter, he still loves her," the insider said.

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

Suri Cruise, 18, looks unfazed on milestone birthday amid ‘rift’ claims with dad Tom Cruise

Share this with

Suri Cruise seemed unbothered as she celebrated her birthday in style in New York , amid questions over her bond with dad Tom Cruise .

The teenager, who is the only daughter of the Top Gun actor and Katie Holmes , became an official adult when she turned 18 on Thursday, April 18 – making us all feel absolutely ancient.

The milestone day was met with claims that she has a rift with her father , who is currently filming for a new project in London – but the birthday girl didn’t seem fazed about the speculation.

In fact, she looked effortlessly cool as she made her way around New York on her big day, stopping off a flower stall to pick up a few bouquets.

She was spotted clutching a coffee and a Magnolia Bakery bag of treats while perusing their offerings.

Suri donned a gold cropped vest and baggy jeans, paired with a burgundy cardigan and black trainers.

She was the spitting image of her mom as she kept a denim jacket draped over one arm and a bulky backpack slung over the other shoulder.

Katie, 45, welcomed her first child with the Mission: Impossible lead, 61, in 2006, shortly before they tied the knot.

Katie famously filed for divorce in a bombshell move at the end of June, 2012, with the former couple signing a settlement a few weeks later – details relating to their split are still shrouded in secrecy, but she was reportedly granted full custody of their child.

While Suri has always shared a close bond with her mom, there have been questions raised about her relationship with her dad.

Although neither have spoken publicly about this, an insider has now claimed that there is a rift between the Hollywood star and his youngest child.

‘Tom does not exist to her,’ a source told DailyMail.com . ‘Suri will not have any contact with her father, despite being 18, and even if he called, she would not answer.

‘He does not exist to Katie or Suri, and his daughter does not want to rely on him for anything. 

‘She feels that she has one parent and that is her mother.’

According to the outlet, Tom will no longer be required to pay child support to his ex-wife now that Suri has reached the age of 18, which may sever one of their last remaining ties.

The youngster was unveiled to the world as a newborn baby on the cover of Vanity Fair in 2006, but her mom has since taken steps to shield her from the spotlight as much as possible.

‘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,’ she told the outlet.

‘I’m very grateful to be a parent, to be her parent. She’s an incredible person.’

Despite this, she has allowed Suri the opportunity to follow in her footsteps in the industry over the years – and invited her to sing on her recent projects, Rare Objects and Alone Together.

‘I hope she always does something on my films. 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,’ she continued.

‘And it’s this safe, beautiful, creative space. So it comes out of love for me to include someone who I love dearly. That’s how I like to work. I like to have that kind of feeling. It was very meaningful to me to have her there, because she’s my heart.

‘It’s wild to have a daughter who’s almost the same age as I was when I began all this.’

Tom Cruise & Daughter Suri Cruise: Their Relationship Explained

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

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

Tom Cruise’s Relationship With Suri Today

In April 2019, however,  HollywoodLife learned EXCLUSIVELY that Tom was doing everything he could to maintain a close bond with Suri. “As challenging as things have become for him and his daughter, he still loves her,” the insider shared. “[He] thinks about her all the time and will recognize that she is becoming a teenager and a young woman on her [13th birthday]. Tom never intended to be estranged from his daughter when he decided to have a family with Katie and looks forward to repairing the relationship one day.” Over the course of the last few years, Tom and Suri have both been quite busy. Tom’s film career is taking on new heights with the upcoming sequel to Top Gun , while Suri has been living it up as a teenager in the Big Apple.

Tom Cruise & Suri’s Relationship Before The Divorce

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

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

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

Katie Holmes’ Custody Of Suri

Years later, Katie and Suri have really proven that their relationship has been flourishing and the two are closer than ever. Some of the few Hollywood events the pair have attended together have actually been geared toward Suri. In December 2017, the pair got to introduce Taylor Swift at Jingle Ball in New York City! It’s rare, beyond a few outings and some public events, that Katie offers details about Suri’s life to the public. She did share in a 2019 interview with  Elle UK , however, that she loved “growing up” with her daughter. “I was happy to become a mom in my 20s,” she shared with the outlet.

“It’s been nice that our ages fit. How do I put this? Every age that my child has been and my age at that time has been a good match. We kind of grew up together.” Of course, like any mother, Katie does worry about her only daughter as she becomes a young adult in the public eye. “There is so much bad news and hate and things that don’t make sense. The atmosphere around the world is…terrifying,” she expressed. “Doesn’t every parent [worry about that]?”

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

Suri Cruise In 2020

In November 2020, Katie gushed about how her daughter has matured and become her own person. “My biggest goal has always been to nurture her into her individuality. To make sure she is 100 percent herself and strong, confident, and able. And to know it,” Katie told Elle UK . “She came out very strong — she’s always been a strong personality. She’ll pick an activity and work her butt off until she’s really good at it. Then she’s like, ‘OK, I’m going to try the next thing.’ She’s very focused and a hard worker.”

Does Tom Cruise See Suri? Katie Holmes Wants to ‘Protect’ Her From Scientology

It was one of the most high-profile celebrity relationships—and subsequent divorces—in recent memory, made all the more sensational thanks to his ties with the controversial Church of Scientology. Does Tom Cruise see Suri is a valid question, though the answer is complicated and will depend on who you ask.  

Does Tom Cruise see Suri?

It would appear Tom Cruise doesn’t see Suri all that often. Ever since Holmes and Cruise’s divorce, the  Jerry Maguire  star has rarely been spotted with his daughter. Holmes has full custody of Suri and lives with her in New York City today. The last known photos of Suri and her dad are from nearly a decade ago in 2012 when the pair visited Disneyland together.

A source who spoke to Hollywood Life in April 2019 revealed that despite their estranged relationship, Tom “still loves” Suri. “As challenging as things have become for him and his daughter, he still loves her,” the insider revealed at the time. “Tom never intended to be estranged from his daughter when he decided to have a family with Katie, and he looks forward to repairing their relationship one day.”

Famous former Scientologist, King of Queens star Leah Remini claimed Cruise was waiting until Suri was older to “indoctrinate” her into Scientology. “Scientology considers Katie a suppressive person which is an enemy and therefore Tom believes, like all Scientologists, that he can’t be connected to Suri,” Remini told The Post in 2020. “I’m sure his master plan is to wait until Suri gets older so that he can lure her into Scientology and away from her mother.”

During his deposition , Cruise responded to the insinuation: “Listen, I find that question offensive,” he said. “I find it—those statements offensive. And like with any relationship, there are many different levels to it. You know, I—I find it very offensive. There is no need to protect my daughter from my religion.” The attorney pushed further, asking, “And Ms. Holmes has never indicated in any way that was one of the reasons she left you? … To protect Suri from Scientology?” He says, “Did she say that? That was one of the assertions, yes.”

While Holmes and Suri have distanced themselves from Scientology, Connor and Bella Cruise are in the thick of it.

Isabella “Bella” Cruise is Cruise’s eldest child. She was adopted by Cruise and his then-wife Nicole Kidman during their marriage, which lasted for a decade until 2001. Like her dad, Bella is a notoriously private person. What we do know about her is that she’s currently based in London, where she works as an artist and owns her own company. Bella is also married to Max Parker, an IT consultant.

When Bella got married in 2015, there was some speculation that she was estranged from her mother and father because neither attended the wedding. The artist has since shut down those claims, telling the  Daily Mail  in 2016, “Of course [we talk], they’re my parents. Anyone who says otherwise is full of shit.”

While his half-sister Suri may not have a strong relationship with their dad, Connor does seem to be close with the  Mission Impossible  actor. Both he and his adoptive sister Bella were raised in the Church of Scientology with their father and have been spotted spending time with the actor on multiple occasions now that they’re all grown up. Most recently, Cruise took his son out to a ball game in San Francisco in October 2021, where the pair were spotted by fans on the jumbotron.

Katie Holmes: ‘Suri doesn’t need Tom Cruise’s money – or him’

But will he reach out now she's turning 18.

Sometimes, it seems like Hollywood offspring age faster than the rest of us. Because we’re sure it’s not been that long since Suri Cruise was a cute toddler being carted around by her famous parents Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes .

Now, though, she turns 18 on 18 April, and we’re told that this could lead to even less involvement from her father.

Katie was awarded sole custody of Suri after she filed for divorce from Tom in 2012, with court documents showing that he would pay child support of £318,000 a year, plus expenses, including medical and educational costs.

It’s been reported that he’s had little part in his daughter’s life, and with the financial arrangement due to come to an end on Suri’s 18th birthday, an insider tells us Katie feels Suri doesn’t need Tom – or his wallet.

The source says, “Katie’s very clear that Suri doesn’t need Tom’s money to be happy or afford the life they’re accustomed to. Katie’s made plenty of her own money and she can take care of her daughter and send her to whatever college she wants.

“Suri is going to be quite the superstar, whether she goes into business or Hollywood. But one thing that’s very clear as far as Katie’s concerned is that she doesn’t need Tom’s help to get ahead. She’s got the brains, talent, and beauty to make it to the top all on her own.”

After meeting in 2005, Katie and Tom – who’s said to be worth £477million – had a whirlwind romance, with Suri born the following year. The couple practised Scientology, a blend of science and spirituality, but six years after their wedding, Katie filed for divorce amid rumours that she wanted to free herself and Suri from the constraints of the controversial religion.

In 2013, Tom sued a US magazine when it reported that he had “abandoned” Suri, with a settlement reached before it went to trial. In a deposition, Tom admitted he hadn’t been able to see Suri for 100 days because of filming, and since then, reports have claimed he hasn’t seen her in a decade, though that hasn’t been verified.

Our insider says that as his daughter reaches adulthood, Tom – who is a very present parent to his other children, Isabella and Connor, who he adopted with ex-wife Nicole Kidman – is having a change of heart.

“Tom is feeling guilty about missing so much of her life, but insists that he hasn’t completely shut Suri out of his life, and does get updates from time to time. He made that deal to allow her and her mother to live their own lives because that was what Katie wanted. But now Suri’s officially an adult, he feels she’s old enough to make her own choices, and he wants to reach out and build a better relationship with her.”

Tom Cruise’s Estranged Daughter Suri Cruise Has Moved on to “a Life Without Daddy”

From the moment she was born, Suri Cruise’ s every move has been in the spotlight. At the time, she was celebrated as the child of a beloved Hollywood couple. But as she’s grown up, the focus has been more on her relationship — or lack thereof — with her estranged father, Tom Cruise . But with all the drama surrounding Tom’s highly-publicized divorce from the 12-year-old’s mother, Katie Holmes , fans are often left asking: Does Tom see Suri? Keep reading to learn everything we know about the situation when it comes to Tom and his youngest child.

Does Tom see Suri?

In short, the answer is no; it’s been more than four years since the actor, 55, was last seen publicly with Suri. The last time they were photographed together was in September 2013, just slightly more than a year after Tom and Katie finalized their divorce . And after all this time, Suri has gotten used to life without Tom . “Tom’s been out of their lives for so long, she and Katie have moved on,” an insider told Life & Style, “to a life without Daddy.”

It would appear that they don’t see each other privately, either, as last June, sources exclusively told In Touch that Tom opted not to see his daughter despite being just 23 miles away from her on Father’s Day. “Tom could have easily made the trip to see Suri. It only takes about 30 minutes without traffic,” a source said at the time. “It would’ve only added a few hours to his busy schedule.”

Tom used to go out of his way to see his daughter, though. “When she was eight or nine, Suri must have always thought that Tom would show up with presents and take her out for a shopping spree or to an amusement park on her birthday, like he used to,” an insider shared with Life & Style .

Scientology may play a role in their estrangement.

There’s no clear answer on why Tom doesn’t see his kid — but it would appear that his role as an active member of Scientology impacts his decision. An insider previously told In Touch that Tom has kept a distance from his daughter because Katie was labeled a “suppressive person” — aka an “SP” — after leaving the church of Scientology. The term describes someone who stands in the way of spiritual progress (and is often used to define someone who left the religion). “Suri hasn’t been labeled a ‘supressive person,’ but Katie has,” an insider said at the time. “And her closeness to her daughter likely makes seeing both off-limits to Tom.”Suri basically doesn’t know life any other way.

At this point, her dad has been out of her life almost as long as he was in her life — and as a result of missing her formative years, Suri has pretty much adapted to life without her father . “Suri has stopped missing him,” an insider told Life & Style last September. “Katie doesn’t want to bring up his name and have Suri start missing him all over again.”

As a result, Katie — who rarely, if ever, mentions her ex in interviews — doesn’t even bother speaking of him at home. The insider added, “Katie is more adamant than ever about not talking about him, publicly or privately. With Tom missing from Suri’s life for so long, Katie believes her daughter only has distant memories of him. At this point, Katie doesn’t want to bring up his name and have Suri start longing to see Tom all over again. It would be too painful for both of them.”

But she didn’t always feel that way. “At one time, Katie felt that Suri needed Tom’s presence in her life,” and insider told Life & Style . “But not anymore. Katie tells Suri that she, her parents, relatives and friends are all the family she needs. Together, they’re happier than ever.”

Even though Katie has sworn off talking about Tom, he hasn’t done the same when it comes to Suri.

Despite the fact that he barely knows his daughter — or so it seems — Tom hasn’t shied away from answering questions about the 12-year-old. Last year, while on a press junket for his failed movie The Mummy , a reporter asked the actor if he thought Suri was bit by the “acting bug” and would follow her parents’ footsteps. He replied, “You never know, you never know.”

Suri isn’t without a father figure, despite her estrangement with Tom.

Katie Holmes began dating Jamie Foxx around the same time Suri last saw her father — and as their relationship grew stronger, so did Jamie’s relationship with Suri — who sees the Annie actor as a de facto dad. “Katie’s tried so hard to be all things to Suri, [but] there’s a definite hole there left by Tom, and Katie does her best to fill it,” a source previously told Hollywood Life . “She’s grateful to have Jamie in her life now, he’s becoming more and more of a father figure to Suri and she’s very grateful for that.”

Deal of the Day

Still, there’s hope that suri and tom may one day reunite..

The death of Tom’s mother, Mary, was a wake-up call to the father-of-three — who was inspired by her sudden passing out to reach out to his daughter. At the time, a source told In Touch , “Tom now wants to re-establish his relationship with his daughter and begin seeing her on a regular basis,” the source said, adding that he is “ready to ramp up his relationship with her in a big way.” However, it would appear the two haven’t reconnected quite yet.

It might be hard for the two to reconcile, though, because at this point, it seems he barely even knows his little girl. “I know Tom sees pictures of Suri, and comments on them from time to time to friends,” an insider told Life & Style , “but he really doesn’t have a grasp of the mature young lady she’s turning into.”

After all, he has a pretty solid relationship with his adult children.

In addition to Suri, Tom has two children with ex Nicole Kidman — 25-year-old Bella and 23-year-old Connor. The two were raised primarily by their father — and, notably, are followers of Scientology — and appear to have strong relationships with their dad, which means there may still be hope for Suri and Tom.

Tom Cruise has ‘no role’ in 17-year-old daughter’s life, per reports

Tom Cruise remains estranged from his daughter, Suri Cruise, according to sources close to the actor.

The 61-year-old Mission: Impossible star has reportedly not been in contact with his 17-year-old daughter for an extended period and is not actively involved in her life, according to the Daily Mail .

Suri Cruise is Tom’s daughter from his previous relationship with actress Katie Holmes , and she was born in April 2006.

A strained relationship

Following the couple’s split in 2011, the father- daughter relationship deteriorated over the years. Tom admitted during transcripts (which were obtained by RadarOnline ) from a 2012 defamation lawsuit against Bauer Media that he had not seen Suri for three months immediately after his separation from Katie, who is now 45.

In a deposition related to the $50 million lawsuit, Tom acknowledged that his association with Scientology had strained his relationship with Suri. When questioned about whether Katie left him “in part to protect Suri from Scientology,” Tom responded that he believed that was the case.

The Church of Scientology’s rules, which prohibit members from associating with nonbelievers, reportedly contributed to the strained relationship between Tom and his now-teenage daughter, according to the Daily Mail.

Tom Cruise has “no role” in Suri’s life

Former Scientologist Leah Remini told the New York Post that Scientology considered Katie a “suppressive person,” an enemy, leading to Tom’s belief that he couldn’t be connected to Suri.

Remini speculated that Tom’s plan might be to wait until Suri is older to try to draw her into Scientology and away from her mother . But, as of now, sources say the actor does “not have a part in [Suri’s] life”.

Despite the ongoing drama involving her father, Suri appears to lead a relatively normal life with her mother in New York City. Over the years, she has been photographed casually strolling in the city and spending time with a small group of friends.

In 2017, Holmes expressed her desire to provide Suri with a “stable” childhood, telling Town & Country : “My child is the most important person to me, and her upbringing is paramount to my work right now.”

She continued: “It’s very important that I’m present and she has a stable, innocent childhood . I feel so blessed to do what I do, but there’s nothing in the world better than watching your child succeed.”

Tom Cruise's bitter custody battle for 'estranged' daughter Suri and his Scientology rules

Inside Hollywood actor Tom Cruise's bitter custody battle for his youngest daughter Suri which came with Scientology rules and left him 'estranged' for a decade

• 15:51, 22 Mar 2023

Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise shockingly split from actress Katie Holmes after five years of marriage leading to a bitter custody battle for their daughter Suri in 2012.

At the time of the high profile breakup, their daughter was just five years old and Tom is said to have been estranged from her since 2013.

Now aged 16, Suri is thought to have already been applying to colleges without the help of her dad due to their lack of relationship.

It is understood Dawson's Creek actress Katie, 44, is heavily involved in the application process as she helps her daughter to take the next step in her life.

Katie was given 'sole custody' of Suri and according to the couple's divorce documents, Tom agreed to pay Katie $400,000 a month until Suri turned 18 years old, reports the Daily Mail .

Now, Tom, 60, hasn't seen his youngest daughter in a decade after Katie refused to join The Church of Scientology.

Tom also reportedly agreed to pay all of Suri's expenses, including "medical, dental, insurance, education, college and other extracurricular costs".

A source told the Daily Mail : "Suri does not know her father anymore and she has not spent time with him in a decade. She does not go to see his movies and he has no part in her life."

The teenager is said to be eyeing up studying fashion at Fordham University in The Bronx, New York.

Katie filed the divorce documents citing 'irreconcilable differences', something Cruise is reported to not have seen coming.

At the time it was understood Katie filed for divorce in New York because it could have given her a better chance at gaining sole custody of Suri.

New York family law judges tend to not like giving fighting parents joint custody because they believe that causes endless conflicts for the children.

The actress seeked full custody so she could remove her daughter from the Church of Scientology, who was reportedly attending a Scientology-influenced school in California at the time.

Katie is alleged to dislike and distrust the church, despite Tom's enthusiasm.

On July 9 2012, Katie's lawyer confirmed the divorce had been settled, with Katie having been granted 'sole custody' of Suri.

The former couple reached an agreement out of court.

A statement from the pair said: "We are committed to working together as parents to accomplish what is in our daughter Suri's best interests.

"We want to keep matters affecting our family private and express our respect for each other's commitment to each of our respective beliefs and support each other's roles as parents."

According to TMZ, the agreement included details on what the parents were allowed to tell Suri regarding religion, including Scientology.

The restrictions were reportedly set to be eased as Suri got older.

Following the settlement, Suri was not expected to attend a Scientology school.

In 2019, author Samantha Domingo told Us Weekly that Tom was not allowed to have a relationship with Suri because she is not a Scientologist and due to the Church's belief in reincarnation, they would not view Suri as Tom's daughter.

Tom Cruise has two other children from his marriage with actress Nicole Kidman, who filed for divorce after 11 years in 2001 due to his Scientology ties.

The couple adopted Isabella and Connor , who stuck with Scientology after the split.

Bella lives in London with her IT consultant husband Max Parker, who married in a ceremony which incorporated Scientology and Christianity.

Connor, 28, opts to remain out of the spotlight having attempted to carve out an acting career. It is not clear whether he remained a Scientologist after growing up.

Tom has disagreed his Scientology belief has caused him to be estranged from Suri.

The Mirror has contacted Tom's representative for comment.

'She has not spent time with him in a decade' As Suri Cruise turns 17 Tom is nowhere to be seen

It is hard to believe that Suri Cruise, the daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes is hitting 17 but it has been a long time since she has seen her movie star dad.

Looking around at colleges at the moment with her mum, Suri is focusing on fashion, and it is believed that she has already applied to several colleges.

While Tom may not have any input or say into where his child will go, he will be footing the bill, as this was agreed upon during the couple's divorce settlement.

Katie shocked the world after it was announced that she would be splitting from her high-profiled husband back in 2012.

A source close to the pair has told the Dailymail that the young 17-year-old has been looking around but is hoping to attend Fordham University in New York.

However, it was also revealed that 'Suri does not know her father anymore and she has not spent time with him in a decade.'

Not only that but he does not feature in her life whatsoever. They spoke of how 'Suri does not go to see his movies and he has no part in her life.'

It is believed that Katie decided to divorce the Hollywood actor after she felt his involvement in Scientology was having too much of an influence on their lives. This was something she did not want for Suri.

While Tom may not be present in Suri's everyday life, he has kept his promise to provide for his daughter financially until she turns 18.

During the divorce, he agreed to pay Katie $400,000 a month. Not only that but he also pays for side expenses when it comes to his daughter's medical, dental, insurance, college fees and anything extracurricular.

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

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

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

Her dad “has no part” in Suri’s life after Holmes pulled off the surprise divorce on the Top Gun star in 2012, according to a Daily Mail source. The former Dawson’s Creek actress is close with her only child and she’s pleased that her daughter is “leaning towards” staying in Manhattan and pursuing a career in fashion. “Suri is applying to schools all over the place. [Katie] really does want her to stay in New York so they can be close to each other,” the insider shared. “Katie takes great pride in her but is also extremely overprotective.” And like any mom with a teen leaving the nest, Holmes is “overwhelmed” with mixed emotions.

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

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