While a source told us at the time that Tom has played “no part” in his daughter’s life, another Hollywood insider told us this week that the father-daughter duo haven’t seen each other since 2012. However, it appears that her milestone birthday will not include her father, Tom Cruise. According to Page Six, Suri has been estranged from the Mission Impossible star for many years, with sources indicating that they haven't seen each other since 2012. Katie Holmes found almost instant fame thanks to her role as Joey Potter on teen drama "Dawson's Creek," which aired for six seasons between 1998 and 2003. The series followed a group of friends living in the town of Capeside, a fictitious location meant to be in Massachusetts, but actually filmed in Wilmington, North Carolina.

Katie Holmes Shares Rare Insight Into Daughter Suri Cruise's ‘Visible' Childhood

During the Covid-19 pandemic, they reportedly quarantined together at home and binge-watched one of Holmes’ iconic TV shows. In an interview with Variety, Holmes revealed that they watched plenty of shows together, including Dawson’s Creek (2008) – the hit show that launched Holmes’ career. She remains in New York City with her mum and the two are more often spotted out and about together. Whether they are grabbing tacos, catching a Broadway play, or boarding a flight at the airport, the mother-daughter duo always turns heads with their effortless style and palpable closeness. Holmes and Suri rarely step out together, though they got all gussied up to celebrate the “First Daughter” star’s 45th birthday in December. The look-alike mother-daughter duo appeared to enjoy their day out together, as they were seen laughing and gabbing while making their way down the pavement.

Katie Holmes and her doppelgänger daughter, Suri Cruise, popped out for a cheerful stroll in New York City on Monday. The lawsuit was later settled, but articles regarding Tom's absence from Suri's life continued to surface. Suri Cruise was all smiles as she joined her mom at Z100’s Jingle Ball 2017 on December 8, 2017 in New York City.

Understandably, mother Katie Holmes has prioritized keeping her daughter safe, particularly as Suri, whose father is movie star Tom Cruise, has always been a target of the paparazzi. While Tom Cruise's connection to daughter Suri Cruise was questioned following his split from Katie Holmes, the "Dawson's Creek" star publicly became a single mom, who seemingly adored raising her child. During an interview with People in November 2014, Holmes revealed that she had a very creative home life with Suri, and explained the ways in which she was a hands-on mom. "Between tickle fights and glitter art, I try to throw in some manners along the way," Holmes told People.

Suri Cruise, the 17-year-old daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, was photographed looking just like her famous mother as she bundled up on a walk in New York City Sunday. Following on from her early foray into the fashion world, Suri has continued to develop a refined and sensible sense of style as she has grown older. Whether it’s pairing neutral dresses with trainers or donning a casual tee and baggy jeans, Suri has slowly but firmly moulded her own unique fashion style. While Holmes and Tom seemed tight-knit for several years following Suri's birth, that all changed in 2012. Holmes' high-profile divorce from Tom Cruise shocked fans all over the world, and since then, the "Dawson's Creek" alum has remained a committed parent to Suri. Suri Cruise joined her mama for the the opening night premiere of “In The Heights” during the Tribeca Festival at the United Palace Theatre on June 9, 2021 in New York City.

The "Logan Lucky" star gave further insight into the time she spent with Suri during the pandemic while speaking with the Australian version of The Daily Telegraph in August 2020 (via Yahoo! News). "I like to keep her out of my interviews, but I will say that this time of quarantine has been such a lesson," Holmes explained. "Just really looking at everything you have and celebrating the simplicity of making dinner and [spending] that time together." Basically, Holmes' bond with Suri is incredibly strong. Calling her work environment a "safe, beautiful, creative space," Holmes explained that being able enlist Cruise's talents "comes out of love for me to include someone who I love dearly."

Suri Cruise has 'always been a strong personality,' says Katie Holmes

"...When that's the through line, who cares that my first two pancakes are always burned?" It would seem that Holmes focuses all of her attention on Cruise, especially when it comes to providing food for her young daughter. Through carefully curated breakfasts, and by making meals that please Cruise, Holmes is ensuring that her child feels cared for on a regular basis. In November 2013, Tom was deposed while suing Bauer Publishing because of a story published by In Touch magazine, which alleged that the movie star had abandoned his daughter following his split from Holmes, via People. During the deposition, Tom admitted that there was a period of more than 100 days during which he didn't see Suri in person, which occurred between August 2012 and Thanksgiving of the same year, People reported. However, he did discuss his regular contact with Suri, revealing that having phone conversations with a young child can be challenging. "I've gotten very good at it. I tell wonderful stories." He also shared that his daughter appeared to be content in life, saying, "I also find that, you know, Suri is a very happy child, and confident, and has a good sense of herself."

The teenager, whose birthday is April 18, dressed casually cool in a red sweater with white vertical stripes, a white silk skirt and brown sandals.

She has contributed to notable platforms like Ranker, HollywoodLife, and People Magazine. The former couple, Tom and Holmes, explained the origins of her unusual name at the time of her birth.

Katie Holmes will change plans to just to see Suri smile

For Holmes, hobbies like sewing, painting and writing "became new hallmarks of satisfaction" in the household. The "Dawson's Creek" alum looked back on how her and Tom Cruise's 16-year-old daughter grew up in front of the public eye before opting to spend her tween years away from the spotlight. Suri Cruise was the spitting image of mom Katie Holmes as she strolled through Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood during a light rain on Sept. 8, 2023. Katie Holmes and daughter Suri Cruise were all smiles as they took a walk together in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood on Feb. 13, 2024. Despite being raised in the public eye — even appearing on Vanity Fair as an infant — Holmes has since shielded her daughter from the spotlight.

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). The teen, who is also the daughter of Katie Holmes, wore jeans, a denim jacket over a brown shirt and black shoes. 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. Things took a dramatic turn when Tom’s whirlwind romance with Holmes ultimately led to their high-profile divorce in 2012.

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. Page Six exclusively reported in December that the teen landed a lead role in her school’s play. Holmes had previously discussed the topic of Suri's privacy during a 2020 interview with InStyle. The "First Daughter" star revealed that she'd stumbled across a website, which was entirely focused on photos of Suri taken when she was just a baby. "I just wanted her outside, so I would walk her around to find parks at, like, 6 in the morning when nobody would see us." However, it would seem that the paparazzi quickly gained knowledge of Holmes' early morning walks.
