“Looks So Much Like Her Mom”: The Daughter Of Katie Holmes And Tom Cruise Celebrated Her 18th Birthday And Shared New Photos From The Birthday Party!
Suri Cruise marked her eighteenth birthday in New York without the presence of her father, actor Tom Cruise, whom she hasn’t seen for years. Resembling her mother, Katie Holmes, Suri sported a look reminiscent of the 1990s, with baggy blue jeans, a loose burgundy cardigan, and a denim jacket draped over her arm. While picking out flowers at a local shop, Suri celebrated alongside her mother, Katie, who was occupied with business elsewhere in town.

For the past 12 years, Suri has been the subject of widespread speculation regarding her relationship with her Scientologist father, Tom Cruise. Her eighteenth birthday celebration without his presence indicates the strained dynamic between them, as Tom has been largely absent from her life since his divorce from Katie Holmes in 2012.

The divide between father and daughter was exacerbated during Tom and Katie’s divorce proceedings, and their communication has since ceased. With Suri now legally an adult, she is reportedly making her own decisions about her future, with one notable choice being her apparent distancing from her father.
As Suri reaches adulthood, Tom Cruise’s obligation to pay child support to Katie Holmes will cease, amounting to $400,000 annually. According to insiders, Suri has no intention of reconnecting with her father, as she perceives her mother as her sole parental figure.
Following Tom and Katie’s marriage in 2005, their relationship ended in divorce just over five years later, when Suri was six years old. Katie has made it clear that she and Suri will have no involvement with Scientology.
Despite Tom being granted visitation rights, his last public appearance with Suri was a trip to Disneyland in the year of their divorce. Reports suggest that Tom’s affiliation with the Church of Scientology has led to restrictions on his relationship with his daughter, as Suri is not a Scientologist herself.
