Dear celebrity gossip followers and loyal readers, be warned.
You will feel very old now.
why?
Because Suri Cruz will soon become an official adult.
Suri, the only daughter of actress Katie Holmes and global superstar Tom Cruise, was born on April 18, 2006 and immediately became one of the most famous young people in world history.
That's really not an exaggeration.
Suri made her public debut on the cover of Vanity Fair when she was just five months old, when she was photographed by Annie Leibovitz alongside her famous parents.
But since then, Holmes has done her best to shield her daughter from the spotlight. Tom Cruise, on the other hand, unfortunately piqued citizens' curiosity by essentially ghosting a teenager.
As previously reported, Cruz had nothing to do with the repairs. The two are not related at all.
Last month, Page Six wrote, “The actor has never seen it before.” [Suri] It hasn’t been a part of her life for a very long time.”
Cruz has not spoken publicly about the child since 2013, when he was fired following a lawsuit against Bauer Media Group.
“If there is a divorce, things change. It's not an ideal scene. “It’s not an ideal situation.” Tom told her lawyer when asked if it was accurate that she had barely seen her daughter over the past year.
From what we've gathered and what we've read, the Cruze hasn't seen any repairs since 2012. This is unimaginable.
The matter will be resolved no later than April 18, 2024, but there has also been speculation that he wants to cut off Suri's child support.
Once Suri turns 18, responsibility for child support no longer exists and Suri can make her own choices.
Will she contact Tom? Will she join the Church of Scientology? Will she sit down with Oprah Winfrey or another journalist and criticize her dad?
Because Holmes raised Suri so protectively, we never got any answers.
“Katie has been protective of Suri and she is a devoted mom,” a source previously told The New York Post. “This is a civilian girl. She didn’t live her own life in public.”
Meanwhile, Holmes said in a 2023 interview with Glamor magazine that she likes to 'protect' Suri from the public eye because she was “so visible when she was young.”
“I am so grateful to be her parent. She's such an amazing person. She is my heart,” the Dawson’s Creek alum added.
Actress Leah Remini, who attended Cruise and Holmes' November 2006 Italian wedding, previously told Page Six that she was concerned about Suri.
She thinks Tom has been waiting all this time to sink his errant claws into the young woman.
In 2020, Remini said, “I'm sure his plan is to wait until Suri gets older to get her into Scientology and take her away from her mother.”
We can't say for sure.
Cruise, who has two children with ex-wife Nicole Kidman, is certainly not a reliable source when it comes to his own views on parenting.
“I’ve wanted to be a father my whole life,” he added in a 2006 interview with Vanity Fair.
“I always told myself that my children would be able to depend on me and that I would always be there for them and love them.”
