- Tom Cruise has not seen his daughter in a very long time.
- Holmes and Cruise welcomed Suri in April 2006.
- He has been separated from Suri since 2013.
Suri Cruise, the child he shares with his ex-wife Katie Holmes, and Tom Cruise, remains distant.
According to a source who spoke directly to Page Six, the 60-year-old Mission: Impossible actor has not seen his daughter, 16, in a very long time and is no longer involved in her life.
Holmes and Cruise welcomed Suri in April 2006, but the former couple divorced in 2011 and the father-daughter pair ultimately grew estranged. One year after his divorce from Katie, the Top Gun: Maverick actor has been separated from Suri since 2013.
Suri, who turns 17 next month, “has sent some applications out” for colleges and is “leaning towards” pursuing fashion in New York City, according to a source close to Katie, 44, who spoke directly to DailyMail.
“Suri is submitting applications to numerous institutions. In order for them to be near one another, [Katie] genuinely wants her to remain in New York. The insider said that Katie is “overwhelmed” by the thought of her daughter leaving for college and that she takes great pleasure in her but is also very overly protective.
The Hollywood star acknowledged in court documents from his 2012 defamation case against Bauer Media that he had not seen Suri for three months after he and Holmes, now 44, split up, despite not having any involvement in the daughter’s milestone.
Cruise previously admitted that his affiliation with Scientology had been a key factor in the reason he was split from his child.
Because of the controversial church’s rules that prohibit members from associating with non-believers, Tom and Suri were once again blamed for remaining apart in 2016.
Tom allegedly couldn’t be friends with Holmes or Suri because they were both Scientologists. At the time, a source told the publication, “This is his loss, his problem. He must have been thoroughly indoctrinated.
