From the moment she was born in 2006, Suri Cruise was one of the most famous babies in the world. The daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes grew up in the spotlight of the paparazzi, before becoming more discreet after her parents' divorce in 2012.
To protect her daughter, Katie Holmes had in fact separated from the actor of
Mission: Impossible
after eight years spent together in order to prevent Suri from falling under the influence of the Church of Scientology of which her father is a member. . She then obtained full custody of their child. The teenager will turn 18 on April 18. She has not seen her father for more than 10 years, but she seems very close to her mother, with whom she is often seen in the streets of New York.
The end of considerable aid
When she becomes an adult, Suri Cruise will start a new life without her father's financial help. Indeed, during the divorce, the latter had agreed to pay $400,000 in annual alimony, or more than 30,000 euros per month, to Katie Holmes until their daughter reached adulthood. However, he will continue to pay his medical expenses as well as his tuition fees, according to PurePeople.
The end of this financial contribution caused a lot of reaction, with some believing that Katie Holmes, 45, would be forced to change her lifestyle, now that the “financial windfall” has dried up. In
InTouch
magazine
published last February, sources declared that Katie Holmes would be actively looking for work to support herself: “She is looking forward to getting back into the film industry full time. Not to mention the confidentiality agreement she signed – it's also about to expire. If things get tough, Katie could capitalize on it by writing a tell-all book.” However, Jonathan W. Wolfe, Katie Holmes' lawyer, interviewed by the website Radaronline, refuted these claims, calling them "riddled with lies."
Fashion or music?
Suri Cruise led a quiet childhood away from the cameras, studying at a private school in New York. We learned last year that she was considering going to fashion school. But although she has been away from the limelight, the teenager has also shown a keen interest in the arts, even contributing to the soundtracks of her mother's films,
Alone Together
(2022) and
Rare Objects
(2023), in which we heard him sing. In July 2022, Katie Holmes told Yahoo Entertainment that she chose to collaborate with her daughter because she was always looking for “the highest level of talent. She's very, very good, so I recorded her, and I let her do it. This is the way I usually work.” With complete objectivity.
