The celebrity guest list included Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, David and Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, and Leah Remini. Online, also in attendance were Cruise's two older kids Connor and Isabella (whom he adopted with Nicole Kidman); Holmes' maid of honor, her sister Nancy Blaylock; and Cruise's best man, Scientology leader David Miscavige. 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. Holmes also recalled how spending time with a friend with a young child made her reminisce about raising Suri.

A Tender Moment

"It was spiritual. It was powerful. It was indescribable. What words can you use? It's still something that I'm processing and keep reliving." Suri Cruise was all smiles as she joined her mom at Z100’s Jingle Ball 2017 on December 8, 2017 in New York City. Katie and Suri presented together, announcing one of the first performances.

She had a pink moment, matching her sweatshirts with a large pink purse and tote. "Taking time in Washington Square Park with a friend whose little child was taking his first steps brought me back to when my own child began to walk," she wrote. "I felt nostalgic and in awe of the power of time and the continuation of life." The two twinned in summer dresses, with Suri and white and her friend in black.

In a deposition with Bauer Media, Cruise was asked whether he and the church considered Holmes a "Suppressive Person," or someone who tries to keep others down. "That is a distortion and a simplification of the matter. I don't want to just give an oversimplification of religious doctrine," Cruise said. According to Scientology expert Rick Ross, Church followers are taught to avoid Suppressive Persons (SPs) and "Potential Trouble Sources," (PTS). "Tom Cruise would not want to come in contact with an SP. And if he views his daughter as a PTS, which is very likely, he would not be that excited about dealing with her either," Ross told Hollywood Life. "We are committed to working together as parents to accomplish what is in our daughter Suri's best interests," a joint statement read (via The Hollywood Reporter). "We want to keep matters affecting our family private and express our respect for each other's commitment to each of our respective beliefs and support each other's roles as parents."

Katie Holmes said she and Suri Cruise were in and out of New York during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring of 2020, according to Yahoo Entertainment. Holmes even shared a candid photo of Suri celebrating her 14th birthday on her Instagram. "This lockdown has had a lot of silver linings. It was a beautiful moment. I think when you have less, you are more creative," Holmes told "Entertainment Tonight" in an interview. "This year has also been a reminder that the simple things are really beautiful and that is, those are the gifts of life," she said. The couple quickly become engaged and announced they were expecting a child together in October 2005, according to People. Cruise was reportedly so excited that he even bought a sonogram machine in order to see baby Suri in utero.

Suri Cruise was a trendsetter before she could walk

According to the NY Daily News, Holmes enrolled Suri, then 6 years old, in first grade at Avenues, a Chelsea private school with a $40,000 tuition. In an interview with InStyle, Holmes opened up and confessed that the time post-divorce was "intense" as a newly single mom. "It was a lot of attention, and I had a little child on top of it. We had some funny moments out and about in public. So many people I didn't know became my friends and helped us out, and that's what I love about the city," Holmes said. Like her mother, the photos above show that Holmes' daughter, Suri Cruise, has no problem flaunting a relaxed look. With dark sweatpants and a red T-shirt, Cruise looks like an average teen rather than someone with two of the world's most famous parents. Of course, not many "normal" teenagers can say they've had their voice featured in their mother's films, but that's as much as Suri's been involved in Hollywood so far.

Suri Cruise looked all grown up when she went for a stroll with a friend in New York City, while wearing a pair of dark wash flared jeans with a tan argyle sweater and an oversized navy blue corduroy jacket on top. According to CBS News, Cruise said he "didn't expect" Holmes to file for divorce. He received the news while on set for his film, "Oblivion," per People.

Cradled in her dad’s arms, Suri looked so excited to be seeing the roaring crowds, raving fans, and all the bright lights the stadium had to offer! But after Katie’s 2012 divorce from Tom, Suri started spending a lot of time with her stunning mom. By the time she was five years old, Suri had already accrued a wardrobe worth approximately $3.2 million, including $150,000 worth of shoes alone (as reported by the Daily Mail).

In June 2014, InTouch reported that Cruise had not seen or spoken to his daughter in 1,000 days. In April 2019, an insider told Hollywood Life that Tom "still loves" Suri and that "Tom never intended to be estranged from his daughter," and "looks forward to repairing the relationship one day." Suri was the guest of honor at Cruise and Holmes' wedding on November 18, 2006. The new parents shared nuptials in a star-studded ceremony inside the 15th-century Italian Odescalchi Castle outside Rome (per Us Weekly). The lavish celebration reportedly cost upwards of $3 million, and featured a dinner serenade by Andrea Bocelli, and not one but two Armani wedding gowns worn by Holmes throughout the night.

Proceedings moved swiftly, and the couple reached a settlement after just 11 days (per InStyle). Holmes was awarded primary custody of Suri in the divorce, with Cruise gaining visitation rights. While Holmes did not receive spousal support in the settlement with Cruise, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Suri is set to receive $400,000 in child support per year until her 18th birthday. Cruise is also required to pay for Suri's expenses, including medical, dental, insurance, education, college and other extracurricular costs. Suri Cruise celebrates her 15th birthday in style with friends, ice cream, and flowers on Apr. 18, 2021.

Because of their close bond, it was inevitable that Suri Cruise and Katie Holmes would eventually work together. In July 2022, Holmes revealed to Yahoo Entertainment that Suri's vocals were featured on not one, but two of her movies. "It was everything that we wanted it to be," Cruise said in an interview days after the birth with "20/20's" Deborah Roberts (via ABC News).

Months before Tom Cruise made Katie Holmes wife No. 3, they welcomed their only child, Suri Cruise, in April 2006. Six years later in 2012, Katie left Tom and secured primary custody of their daughter in the divorce. Since then, the "Dawson's Creek" alum has raised their daughter mostly in New York City. It's hard to believe, but on April 18, 2024, Suri Cruise — the only child of "Dawson's Creek" actress Katie Holmes and former husband Tom Cruise — celebrates her 18th birthday. 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.

Over the years, headlines everywhere have noted how similar the mother and daughter look to each other, but now that Suri is almost an adult, the resemblance is even more uncanny. The duo share the same long, chocolate brown hair, angel face, and sweet, signature smile. Even their eyes are similar shades of green, although Holmes' hazel eyes have a tint of brown, while Suri's are solid green. Suri is also almost as tall as her five foot, nine inches mother, beating her dad Tom Cruise's height before she even turned 18.

The proud mama shared a rare video on her Instagram of Suri in black-and-white bounding through an empty street. In an interview with "Today," Katie Holmes said her parenting secret for raising a down-to-earth teen is to "listen" to her daily and "reward her for hard work." Born on April 18, 2006, Suri Cruise is Katie Holmes and megastar Tom Cruise's only child together. After her parents divorced in June 2012, Suri was primarily raised by her mother in New York City. In 2023, Suri turned 17, and it's clear that as she's gotten older, she's become Holmes' mini-me.
