"Motherhood means everything to me," Holmes said in a PEOPLE cover story in November 2014. "I'm learning every day, and I have been since the minute I became a mom." "My main goal is to just let her know how much I love her," the actress told PEOPLE in 2014. However, now that Suri is legally an adult, she can make a decision about whether she wants to talk about her relationship with her father and what it was like to be raised by a member of the Church Of Scientology. TMZ previously reported that the divorce settlement required Tom to pay child support of USD $400,000 (approx. AU $624,836) per year until Suri is 18.

You might also recall that Tom used to talk about his daughter often during her early years, like when he told Esquire that he entertained her with scripts rather than storybooks. "I'll start with the beginning of the movie and take her through the story beat by beat. Of course, I make it age-appropriate. She's four years old. But she asks all the right questions," he said. There are so many other compelling Suri stories to tell, so do you want her untold truth? Last year, Holmes also shared she’s always been protective of her daughter “because she was so visible at a young age” due to her and Cruise’s fame, per Glamour. 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. It comes after recent reports that Tom has "nothing" to do with Suri's life entirely.

In April 2020, A source told Us Weekly about how “in sync” Suri and Holmes are as a mother-and-daughter duo. “You’d struggle to find a mom-daughter duo who are more in sync with each other,” the insider said. On the eve of her birthday, she was spotted strolling through New York with friends while carrying gifts, Hello!

Holmes claimed that Serendipity 3 is a kid-oriented establishment, but Joe Calderone, a rep for the restaurant, told Radar that this is untrue. He also expressed concern that the gummies incident would make Holmes reticent to bring Suri there again. However, she's also been photographed screaming over ice cream and sporting smeared chocolate on her face, so Holmes probably should have made sure to always keep a watchful eye over young Suri whenever there were sweets in the vicinity. In 2011, Suri Cruise was photographed holding a box of candies that you might see used as a garnish for a naughty cocktail at a bachelorette party. The label on the box clearly said "Penis Gummies," an accurate description of the sweets' anatomical shapes.

"[Tom] does whatever Suri wants. He defers to her on everything," the insider claimed. Perhaps you noticed that Suri Cruise was usually wearing skirts and dresses back when she was papped on the reg. "I'd put a pair of pants on her and the next minute I'd turn around and the pants are off and a dress is on," Tom Cruise told Grazia (via X17) in 2008. In a 2011 interview with Elle (via Huffpost), Kate Holmes revealed, "Today I'm wearing brown suede pants, and [Suri] said, 'I don't like your pants.'" She was lucky that Suri let her be seen out in public in them. "She won't let me leave unless I'm wearing what she wants me to wear," Holmes said on "Live with Regis and Kelly" in 2010 (via OK!). On April 18, Suri Cruise celebrated her 18th birthday, officially stepping into adulthood.

But according to Holmes, her daughter doesn't spend all day shopping and ordering nannies around. "If she doesn't get her chores done, I notice she's not really herself," she told Marie Claire in 2010. "She has to make her bed, she has to take her dishes to the sink, she has to put her clothes in the laundry." According to Tom's "Knight and Day" castmate Cameron Diaz, young Suri didn't just admire the House of Mouse's royal family.

“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. 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. 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.

On providing Suri with a "stable, innocent childhood"

According to their divorce documents, Tom agreed to pay Katie $400,000 a month until Suri turned 18 years old. Tom also agreed to pay all of Suri's expenses, including "medical, dental, insurance, education, college and other extracurricular costs". 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. After their separation, Suri and mum Holmes took a step back from the spotlight, prioritising their privacy and focusing on their personal lives. Over the years, Suri has become somewhat of a mystery, with her mother fiercely guarding her so she can have a normal upbringing and childhood.

On the "heartbreaking" process of her watching her daughter grow up

A few months before, the two made another rare appearance together as they celebrated the “Dawson’s Creek” alum’s 45th birthday in the city. Suri was last spotted with Holmes, 45, last month as the mother-daughter duo walked through Soho with big smiles on their faces. She was spotted out and about in the Big Apple on Wednesday, clutching a charming bouquet of pink carnation flowers. Sporting an all-denim look, Suri appeared to be gearing up for her big birthday celebrations, miles away from her father Tom Cruise. A second source said that Cruise has a close group of friends and is "well liked." She is also a talented athlete. “Suri is very naturally athletic and excels at physical activities like gymnastics and dance,” that source said.

In July 2012, a seriously sad moment for Suri Cruise was immortalized by the intrusive lens of the pack of paparazzi that trail her everywhere. The Daily Mail published photos of Suri pouting as she was seemingly told that she couldn't take home an adorable puppy from Citipup in NYC. She reportedly left the pet store in tears, and just think of the life of luxury that poor pup missed out on when Katie Holmes taught her daughter that she can't have everything that she wants. There was speculation that Suri's schooling factored into TomKat's split. "[Suri] is coming to an age where she gets educated enough to get locked into the faith," a former Scientology official explained to the Independent in 2012 after Holmes filed for divorce. That same year, Holmes enrolled Suri in Avenues, a pricey Manhattan private school.

But, as the document says nothing about birthdays, he has consistently been skipping those. One month after Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise's five-year marriage ended in 2012, Tom took Suri Cruise to Disney's Typhoon Lagoon water park in Florida. He was photographed being an attentive dad during the outing — there were smiles aplenty as he and Suri splashed around in a pool, and he made their time together even more fun by tossing her up in the air.

TOM Cruise's daughter Suri Cruise has been spotted on the streets of Manhattan looking like a full-blown adult. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he confirmed in a 2013 deposition that Holmes felt like she needed to shield Suri from the religion. The employees of a local dog rescue found the lucky pooch just a few days after she went missing, per TMZ, and as of 2020, Suri was still being a responsible dog owner by taking Honey and another cute canine out for walks.

"Suri does not know her father anymore and she has not spent time with him in a decade. She does not go to see his movies and he has no part in her life," a source told MailOnline. While Tom often blames the estrangement on his busy schedule, the insider said the issues go deeper. "He uses his film commitments as an excuse, but the truth is that [he] doesn't hold much weight with Suri anymore." Tom still has obligations with Suri, though. As she gets ready to reportedly study fashion, Tom will likely be the one paying for her college, as established by his divorce settlement.

The King of Queens star is currently scheduled to appear in a trial against the church in October 2025. But former Scientologists have often revealed that being declared an SP came as a result of simply leaving the church or questioning the doctrines. Unlike her mother, Suri, a now legally declared adult by the New York state, will be allowed to speak freely about her father and his beliefs. In 2019, author Samantha Domingo told Us Weekly that Tom was not allowed to have a relationship with Suri because she is not a Scientologist.
