Tom Cruise's daughter turns 18, still estranged from her father

The birth of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' daughter on April 18, 2006 sparked a global frenzy. It was not until five months after her birth that Suri Cruise made her first appearance on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine in the arms of her parents, photographed by Annie Leibovitz, a renowned celebrity photographer.

Now, at 18, Suri faces a choice: return to the fame she enjoyed as a child or maintain the peaceful, sheltered life her mother has led since filing for divorce.

Suri Cruise grew up in Manhattan, New York, sheltered from the spotlight by her 45-year-old mother, who loved her and protected her from the Scientology sect of which her 60-year-old father was a follower.

Page Six revealed last year that Suri has always been estranged from her famous father and the two have almost no relationship.

A Hollywood source said the Mission: Impossible star hasn't seen Suri since 2012. "Katie takes care of Suri and she's a devoted mother," the source said.

Katie Holmes told Glamour magazine in 2023 that she liked to "protect" Suri from public attention "because Suri was so in the spotlight when she was little."

The last time father and son met was in 2012.

"I'm so grateful to be Suri's mom. She's amazing, she's my heart," Katie added.

Meanwhile, Tom Cruise expressed: "All my life I have always wanted to be a father. I always told myself that my children could count on me and that I would always be there for them and love them. I never made a promise to my children that I would not keep."

Tom Cruise has two adopted children: Bella (31 years old) and Connor (29 years old) after his marriage to Nicole Kidman (the couple split in 2001).

When Suri was only 6 years old, Katie Holmes filed for divorce after 6 years of marriage with the help of her father - Mr. Martin Holmes - a lawyer.

Tom Cruise was caught completely by surprise when he filed for divorce while he was filming Oblivion in Iceland in June 2012. The movie star and Suri were last seen together at Disney World in the summer of 2012.

In November 2013, during a $50 million lawsuit against two magazines, the Top Gun star admitted that Holmes filed for divorce "to protect Suri from the Scientology cult," court documents revealed.

Although they are no longer in a relationship, according to the divorce agreement, Tom Cruise (whose assets are estimated at $600 million) agreed to pay Katie Holmes $400,000 per year until Suri turns 18, as well as "medical, insurance,educational and other extracurricular expenses."
