Summary
- Suri Cruise plans to enter adulthood without a relationship with her dad Tom Cruise, despite his efforts to reconnect.
- She aims to make her own mark in Hollywood and the business world, with no intention of relying on her father's fame.
- Katie Holmes, her mom, faces uncertainty as child support ends and she prepares to re-enter the industry, possibly with a tell-all book.
Suri Cruise is almost all grown up, as she’s preparing to celebrate her 18th birthday and head off to college. Despite reports that her father, Tom Cruise, is hoping to repair his relationship with the teen once she becomes a legal adult, Suri may have other plans.
According to a new report, the teenager doesn’t want a relationship with her famous father after being estranged for over a decade.
Katie And Suri Reportedly Don’t Feel They Need Tom In Their Life
“Katie’s very clear that Suri doesn’t need Tom’s money to be happy or afford the life they’re accustomed to,” a source revealed. “Katie’s made plenty of her own money and she can take care of her daughter and send her to whatever college she wants.”
There have been claims that Tom will continue to provide financially for Suri past her 18th birthday, even though child support payments will come to an end. He’s reportedly been paying $40,000 a month since his divorce from Katie in 2012. Their divorce was settled in a matter of weeks, with the Mission: Impossible star not challenging Katie’s request for primary guardianship of their only child. Reports have suggested Tom’s involvement in Scientology was the deal breaker.
The source said that Suri is interested in getting into the entertainment industry, but won’t be relying on Tom’s star power. “Suri is going to be quite the superstar, whether she goes into business or Hollywood. But one thing that’s very clear as far as Katie’s concerned is that she doesn’t need Tom’s help to get ahead,” they continued.
Reports say that Suri is interested in studying fashion in New York, where she’s been raised by her single mom. She has expressed an interest in acting, though, as she starred in her school’s play earlier this year.
Reports Have Claimed Katie Is Worried About Money Without Tom’s Child Support
There were claims that Katie Holmes was desperate for work knowing her child support payments are going to come to an end.
“For years, Katie’s enjoyed a lavish lifestyle, thanks to Tom’s consistent support,” a source claimed to In Touch. “But as their child nears adulthood, both mother and daughter are facing an uncertain future. It’s a terrifying prospect — going from an amazing standard of living to a question mark overnight!”
The report claimed that Holmes is even considering a tell-all book now that her alleged NDA is set to expire, and knowing she could make millions from revealing her side of her marriage to Cruise.
“She’s actively looking for roles and is eager to throw herself back into the industry full-time,” they continued. “And don’t forget the non-disclosure agreement she signed — it’s set to expire, too. If things get tough, Katie could cash in by penning a tell-all book!”
While Katie may not be getting child support (though her rep denied she was worried about money or actively looking for work), reports say Tom will continue to financially support Suri, even if they don’t end up repairing their relationship.
