It remains to be seen if there will be any larger festivities later -- she leads a pretty low-key lifestyle -- but ya gotta figure her mom Katie Holmes has something planned for such a big birthday. Tom and his youngest daughter have not had a close relationship over the past years. In fact, a source exclusively told Page Six earlier this month that the movie star has not seen Suri since 2012 (they were last seen together at Disney World that summer).

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

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. On the eve of her birthday, she was spotted strolling through New York with friends while carrying gifts, Hello!

Will she study fashion at university?

In 2019, the “Batman Begins” actress gushed over her mini-me in an interview with Shape magazine, revealing they like to work out together.

Katie Homes treats daughter Suri to an iced-coffee to help beat the NY heatwave after a spot of yoga. Mom and daughter were all smiles while out and about in the city on Monday (July 22) as temperatures soared to the high 80s. Suri is set to go to college at the end of the summer, making 2024 a big year for the newly-adult. This will be a huge transition for the actress, as her only child is likely going to be flying the nest.

Things took a dramatic turn when Tom’s whirlwind romance with Holmes ultimately led to their high-profile divorce in 2012. 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). "I hope she always does something on my films. I always ask her," Holmes told the magazine. "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." Suri had a gift bag in hand during her walk around town, suggesting the celebrations were already underway.

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). 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. It seems that after he recovered from the shock of his wife of six years wanting a divorce, he bounced back pretty quickly.

Holmes, who is famously private about her daughter, also spoke about her protectiveness as a mother. She wore an all-denim ensemble consisting of an oversized jacket and jeans, and rocked smokey eyeliner to complete her edgy look. It is rumoured Cruise’s Church of Scientology prohibits him from seeing “non-believers”, which includes Suri and Holmes. Holmes’ choice to leave the faith is reportedly part of the reason behind the pair’s divorce. According to the Daily Mail, Suri is reportedly applying for college to study fashion. However, with an apparent knack for singing, it seems Suri may one day make a return.

A source close to the family revealed to British media that Suri is applying to schools across the country, but her mother hopes she will stay in New York so they can be close to each other. Despite her success, however, Holmes said that she never pressured her daughter to watch her work. “She has seen Dawson’s Creek, and I think it’s probably weird since she’s a teenager. I’m not like, ‘You need to watch mummy’s work.’ But during the pandemic, we had a good laugh about it. It’s wild to have a daughter who’s almost the same age as I was when I began all this,” she said in the Variety interview. It seems like just yesterday that she was the apple of her parents’ eye, held close in Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ loving arms as the world’s most famous baby.

However, Suri is rumored not to hold the same bond with her father amid reports she’s been estranged from the “Top Gun” actor, 61, since his 2012 divorce from Holmes. It’s unclear where the teenager was off to, but she held on to a pink water bottle as wired headphones hung out of her pocket. “Suri is not a Scientologist and never will be … she deserves love and sympathy,” former Scientology spokesperson Mike Rinder told Page Six. The 45-year-old also revealed in November 2013 court docs that she filed for divorce from Tom “to protect Suri from Scientology,” a religion that is often referred to as a cult. Suri Cruise was photographed celebrating her 18th birthday in New York City while her estranged father, Tom Cruise, worked abroad in London. Suri is following her mum’s footsteps in the entertainment industry and has wowed audiences with her impressive singing voice.

After the pair’s divorce, Suri spent a lot of time with her mom and the pair have been living in NYC! Over the years, fans have gotten to see Suri go from tiny tot, to little girl, and now a teenager. Born on April 18, 2006, Suri Cruise is Katie Holmes and megastar Tom Cruise's only child together. After her parents divorced in June 2012, Suri was primarily raised by her mother in New York City. In 2023, Suri turned 17, and it's clear that as she's gotten older, she's become Holmes' mini-me.

But, more importantly, the father and daughter reportedly haven't had a close relationship since 2012. TMZ previously reported that the divorce settlement required Tom to pay child support of USD $400,000 (approx. AU $624,836) per year until Suri is 18. The high-profile relationship of her parents Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes made Suri’s birth in April 2006 one of the most publicised celebrity events of the entire noughties. A few months before, the two made another rare appearance together as they celebrated the “Dawson’s Creek” alum’s 45th birthday in the city. According to pictures obtained by Page Six, the birthday girl stepped out in the rainy weather with a friend on Thursday. A source exclusively told Page Six last month that Tom, a devout Scientologist, has no part in his youngest kid’s life and has not seen her in a long time.

Despite dressing lowkey, both Holmes and Cruise are known to be fashionistas, and the teen reportedly plans to study fashion. 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.

Suri may have made her peace with the fact Tom won't be there, but that reportedly wasn't always the case. "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). 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.
