Among the most well-known celebrity marriages of the 2000s was that of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. At the time, there was a lot of interest in high-profile A-list relationships, and Cruise and Holmes were a flagship pair thanks to their combined star power.
By the year 2024, the two have not been able to agree on anything for a long time. Though we can’t be certain, it’s safe to believe that Cruise and Holmes’ relationship has not completely soured since their marriage collapsed and ultimately ended in divorce in 2012.
Despite the fact that their marriage would eventually fail, they do have a daughter named Suri Cruise. And this week was her 18th birthday, hard as it may seem!
Yes, nothing makes you feel older than seeing star babies grow up. If you’re anything like me, you’ll remember the early years of prominent people’s children, which makes it much more startling when you come across an article portraying them as fully grown adults.
In any case, that’s what I noticed when I saw images of Suri Cruise. In contrast to the lives of several other famous children, the adolescent has not been a constant in the public eye, nor has her journey to adulthood been chronicled or made public.
Which is perhaps why her appearance before turning eighteen sparked such heated reactions from the public. Although there are stories indicating that she does not have a close relationship with her famous father, the common judgment is that she has definitely inherited his movie star looks.
Suri’s parents separated when she was just five years old, and she didn’t spend much time with her father afterward. According to rumors, Suri and her mother had a strained relationship because Suri was raised primarily by her mother.
In transcripts from a 2012 defamation case against Bauer Media, Tom, the star of Mission Impossible, acknowledged that he had not seen Suri for three months following their breakup with Holmes.
In 2013, he informed attorneys, “Listen, things change when there is a divorce.” It’s not the best situation. It’s hardly the best of circumstances.
In fact, a Page Six story from the previous year quoted an insider who claimed that Cruise hadn’t seen his daughter in a very long time. According to the source, he doesn’t actively participate in her life either.
Fans were accustomed to Suri because she was frequently photographed at red carpet events as a small girl with her well-known parents. That clearly changed once Cruise and Holmes got divorced, and as a result, Suri’s visibility in the general public decreased.
That’s not to say Suri has avoided the spotlight completely; over the years, many have expressed their opinions about how much Suri resembles her mother.
But as her eighteenth birthday draws near, her father’s features seemed to be taking center stage. Fans couldn’t help but notice that she’s starting to resemble Tom a lot, so that’s at least what they think.
When Suri’s mother and father’s photos surfaced online last year, people immediately started comparing the adolescent’s appearance to that of her father.
I apologize to all, but Suri resembles her father extremely much! Look at her NOSE and eyes—it’s definitely Tom,” an admirer commented on Twitter.
There is no doubting that she is Tom Cruise’s child—that is the female equivalent of the actor. Another said, “She’s a pretty young lady.”
On Instagram, a third said, “Looks like Tom now.”
Just one commenter said, “She looks like her Dad.”
Suri is reportedly “leaning toward” attending New York University to study fashion in order to pursue a career in the industry.
