The only daughter from her marriage to Katie Holmes is about to turn 17 and lives in New York with her mother.
Suri Cruise, the daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, has not seen her father for ten years. According to Daily Mail, the 60-year-old Mission: Impossible star is not part of the 16-year-old's life and has not seen her since 2012.
The actor welcomed Suri with his then-girlfriend Katie Holmes in April 2006, but after the former couple split in 2011, the father-daughter duo became increasingly estranged.
Tom admitted in transcripts of his 2012 defamation lawsuit against Bauer Media that he had not seen Suri for three months right after he and Holmes, now 44, broke up.
“When there is a divorce… things change,” he told lawyers in 2013. “It's not an ideal scene. “It is not an ideal situation.”
During a deposition for that same $50 million lawsuit - which was eventually settled - the Top Gun star confessed that his ties to Scientology had played a key role in why he separated from his daughter. of the.
When asked if Holmes had abandoned him “in part to protect Suri from Scientology,” Tom then responded: “That was one of the claims, yes.”
In 2016, the controversial church was again blamed for keeping Tom and Suri apart because, according to its rules, members are prohibited from associating with non-believers.
Since neither Suri nor Holmes belonged to the religion, Tom could not maintain a relationship with either of them.
Tom Cruise does maintain a close relationship with the two children he shares with Nicole Kidman, Isabella, 30, and Connor, 28.
Nicole, for her part - she filed for divorce after 11 years of marriage in 2001 due to Cruise's ties to Scientology - has not spoken to Tom for almost 20 years.
