Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise’s daughter is set to graduate from high school this year and is reportedly looking forward to starting college. Though little is known about Suri’s personal life, she’s been reportedly raised by her mom in New York with no direct communication to her famous father, who agreed to give Katie primary custody following their quickie divorce in 2012.
Katie Took Her Daughter On Vacation For Easter
But amid reports Tom is hoping to reconcile with Suri when she becomes a legal adult and is living independently, it seems Katie is trying to get some quality one-on-one time with her daughter, as the pair were seen vacationing together over the long weekend.
As they prepared to depart New York for the airport, the mother-daughter duo was captured on camera entering a car with their luggage, embarking on their Easter getaway.
With her long hair on display, Suri looked stylish in a pair of vibrant red trousers adorned with white swirls, paired with a corduroy navy blue jacket featuring a shearling collar, and complemented by black trainers. Meanwhile, her mother was clad in an oversized army-green jacket paired with beige trousers. To complete her look, the Dawson’s Creek actress donned a pair of dark sunglasses and opted for chunky black sandals. You can view the photos published by Hello! Here.
Tom Reportedly Wants To Introduce Suri To Scientology
Despite doing her best to shield Suri from the public eye, the teen (and her relationship with her high-profile father) continue to be the subject of intense speculation, with recent reports claiming that Tom wants to introduce Suri was Scientology, the controversial religion blamed for the dissolution of his marriage to Holmes.
Even if Cruise doesn’t make contact with Suri, he’ll reportedly still being paying the bills for her college education and living expenses.
Following their separation in 2012, Tom and Katie swiftly reached a divorce settlement and custody agreement within weeks. This arrangement seemingly granted the former teen star primary custody of their daughter. Allegedly, Tom has not seen Suri in over a decade since their divorce.
Nevertheless, despite the lack of physical contact, he has been consistently providing financial support, reportedly paying $33,000 per month in child support, totaling around $400,000 annually.
However, their divorce agreement reportedly mandates Tom to continue providing for their daughter even beyond her 18th birthday, covering expenses related to her health and education.
This financial commitment is substantial, especially considering Tom's significantly larger fortune compared to his ex-wife. Cruise boasts a reported net worth of $600 million, significantly overshadowing Katie Holmes' net worth, which is estimated at approximately $25 million. This substantial wealth gap likely influenced Tom's readiness to assume financial responsibilities, including potential costs for Suri's college education.
While Cruise is reportedly estranged from Suri (at least for now), he’s apparently close with the two older children he shares with his ex Nicole Kidman. Isabella and Connor apparently chose to live with their father following their parents’ divorce and now both reportedly follow Scientology, like Cruise, with Isabella even becoming a high ranking church official several years ago.
