New Claims Suggest Suri Cruise And Her Father Tom Cruise Aren't Close To Mending Their Relationship

Highlights

• Suri Cruise, who turns 18 next week, has wisely chosen to handle her relationship with her father, Tom Cruise, in private.
• Despite being reportedly estranged from her dad, Suri is fortunate to have a close bond with her mom, Katie Holmes.
• Scientology may be a key factor in keeping Suri and Tom apart, but Suri, unlike her dad, is not a Scientologist.

There is much speculation about the status of Tom Cruise's relationship with his youngest daughter, Suri Cruise (he also has two adopted children whom he shares with ex-wife Nicole Kidman). Suri is the daughter of Tom and Katie Holmes and was born on April 18, 2006. In 2011, the actress divorced Tom, significantly impacting his relationship with his daughter. A new report from Page Six claims that Tom has not seen Suri since 2012.

Despite Tom not seeing Suri, he does pay a large amount of child support. The source also commented on Holmes and her approach to parenting Suri. "Katie has safeguarded Suri, and she's a devoted mom," they said. "This is a girl who is a private citizen. She hasn't lived her life in public." Next week, Suri will turn 18, but she appears no closer to reconnecting with her dad.

What Is Tom Cruise's Relationship Like With His Daughter Suri Cruise?

Suri Cruise's 18th birthday is significant for many reasons. Page Six reports that she will have the opportunity to speak about her father and Scientology (although she was six when her mother took her away from that life). Scientology expert Tony Ortega told Page Six, "Suri would have been too young to sign any agreement, but she will now be free to talk if she wants to, and it's going to be really interesting if she has something to say." In contrast, Holmes has not publicly spoken out and is believed to have signed non-disclosure agreements that have prevented her from doing so.

The outlet also discussed Suri and Tom's relationship with former Scientology spokesperson Mike Rinder, who is reportedly estranged from his own children. He commented on the situation, saying, "Suri is not a Scientologist and never will be … she deserves love and sympathy."

This is not the first time Suri's relationship with her father has made headlines. It is impossible to know where they stand, but a report from Page Six from March 2023 suggested that the actor is "not a part" of his daughter's life. A source also claimed that he had not seen her for "a very long time."

There is also the belief that Scientology is what has kept them apart, because Suri is not a Scientologist like her dad. "This is his loss, his issue, his problem," a source previously told Page Six. "He must be really brainwashed."

"Motherhood means everything to me," she told People in 2014. "I'm learning every day, and I have been since the minute I became a mom." In the interview, she also commented on how she had more patience and discussed the lessons she was trying to teach Suri. "Between tickle fights and glitter art, I try to throw in some manners along the way. I try to have good manners, too, so that's what she sees. I also try to be very creative with her because I know she's an artist, and that speaks to the girl in me," Holmes said. "To be honest? I'm not going to play tag, probably. That's not top of my list. But I'll paint all day, I'll do the creative stuff."
