Suri - Tom Cruise's daughter grew up under her mother's protection

Suri Cruise, 18, grew up protected by her mother from Scientology and the media, and has not seen her father since she was six years old.

Tom Cruise and his ex-wife Katie Holmes' daughter turns 18 on April 18. According to Page Six , Suri faces two choices when she comes of age. She can return to the media spotlight as she did when she was a child or continue the private life her mother has prepared for her for years to protect her from the Church of Scientology.

Suri Cruise was once the most famous baby in America. Suri's birth became a global sensation as the public wanted to see the combined faces of the A-list couple. After Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes divorced in June 2012, Suri Cruise lived with her mother in Manhattan (New York).

The news agency believes that the reason Tom Cruise is "cold" towards his daughter is related to the rules of the Scientology sect. According to the church's charter, members are forbidden from associating with non-believers. Suri and Katie Holmes are not believers, so the Top Gun star cannot maintain a relationship with the mother and daughter.

In 2016, multiple sources said Katie decided to divorce her husband because she was afraid of losing Suri to Scientology. She witnessed Cruise's ex-wife, Nicole Kidman, being shunned by her two adopted children, Isabella and Connor, after both attended the church.
