Not having seen her father, star Tom Cruise, in years, Suri Cruise celebrated her eighteenth birthday in New York. Suri, looking like her mother, Katie Holmes, was wearing a loose-fitting burgundy cardigan, blue jeans, and a denim jacket over her arm. The ensemble was very 1990s. Suri celebrated with her mother, Katie, who was out of town at work, as they picked up flowers at a nearby shop.
There has been a lot of conjecture about Suri’s connection with her father, Tom Cruise, a Scientologist, for the last twelve years. Tom has been mostly gone from her life since his divorce from Katie Holmes, so celebrating her eighteenth birthday without him shows how fragile their relationship is.
During Tom and Katie’s divorce procedures, their communication grew more strained between father and daughter, and it has since stopped. Now that Suri is a legal adult, it is said that she is choosing her path forward. Choosing to move away from her father is one such decision.
