Suri Cruise’s Relationship With Her Siblings Is Drastically Different From When She Was Younger

Summary

• Suri Cruise had a close relationship with Connor Cruise at one point, but there is no public evidence of her closeness with Isabella Cruise.
• Suri's strained relationship with her siblings might be due to Scientology differences between her parents, Tom and Katie Holmes.
• Tom Cruise's relationship with his children remains private, but photos suggest Connor Cruise shares a special bond with his father.

The state of Suri Cruise's relationship with her older siblings, Connor and Isabella Cruise, has always been shrouded in privacy regarding their family dynamics. Connor and Isabella are Tom Cruise's adopted children from his marriage to actress Nicole Kidman, while Suri is his biological daughter with Katie Holmes. The siblings are all adults now, but there has been no evidence that they have a relationship.

Tom Cruise's ex-wives, Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes, became close at some point, but this did not transcend to the relationship among their children. However, this was not the case when they were younger. Despite the private life of Tom Cruise's children, there is some evidence that Suri Cruise was once close to her older siblings. This article will explore Suri's past relationship with Connor and Isabella Cruise, where they stand now, and whether Tom Cruise is close to his older kids.

Inside Suri Cruise's Relationship With Her Older Siblings

Tom Cruise's family dynamics were always an ultra-private affair, even before he and his ex-wives ended their respective marriages. However, there were times when the family was photographed in public, indicating that there was some level of closeness among the children. Back in June 2012, Connor and Suri Cruise were photographed attending the Friar's Club Entertainment Award alongside their father, Tom Cruise.

At some point during the event, Connor helped Suri carry her bejeweled purse and a plushie toy she took to the event. According to The List, the siblings were also photographed together the same month during another family outing. While this photographic evidence showed that Connor was close to his younger sister at some point, the same cannot be said of Isabella Cruise. There are no public moments between her and Suri, but this does not mean they did not have a relationship.

However, over the years, it became more evident that the Cruise siblings may be estranged from one another, especially after their parents' divorce. When Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise ended their marriage in 2012, Holmes reportedly safeguarded her daughter from the beliefs and practices of Scientology. Tom Cruise and his other children practice Scientology, and this could have led to the disparity between Suri and her siblings.

In accordance with the beliefs of Scientology, when a member leaves the fold, they are labeled as "a suppressive being." This then leads to an estrangement from other members of their family practicing the religion. It is safe to say that Suri Cruise's relationship with her siblings became strained due to their differences over Scientology. While Katie Holmes shielded her daughter from the practice, Isabella and Connor Cruise became strong members of Scientology.

Isabella Cruise even rose through the ranks and became an auditor in the church of Scientology. Suri, on the other hand, grew up with her mother, far away from the religion. In retrospect, Isabella and Connor are closer to each other than they are to Suri. They have shared selfies together on social media, but the same cannot be said of Suri. One can also assume that the youngster's distance from Scientology also played a part in her strained relationship with her father, Tom Cruise.

Is Tom Cruise Close To Isabella and Connor Cruise?

As earlier established, the state of Tom Cruise's relationship with his children is unclear due to their high level of privacy. Nonetheless, there have been moments between the actor and his kids that raised fans' curiosity. One such time was in 2015 when Isabella Cruise tied the knot in London. The oldest daughter of Tom and Nicole Kidman opted for a private Scientology wedding that included a small guest list. However, the list notably left out her parents.

According to People, Isabella did not invite her parents and siblings because she desired a quiet and low-key ceremony. The situation was more surprising because Tom Cruise was said to have paid for the ceremony. It was further reported that Isabella was preventing her dad's star power from overshadowing the ceremony by not inviting him.

People also stated that Tom Cruise was filming a new movie at the time, which required his unwavering commitment. Per The List, Nicole Kidman was in London at the time of the wedding but was also not invited. However, the development was not enough evidence that Isabella was estranged from her father. Speaking to the DailyMail in 2016, Isabella revealed that she and her parents were in constant communication despite their absence at her wedding.

Isabella Cruise's claim appeared to have been strengthened in May 2024 when a snapshot of the family surfaced on the internet. The auditor was photographed posing with her dad and brother, Connor, in a group photo. The last time the trio were photographed together in public was in 2009 during a soccer game in Los Angeles.

So far, it appears that Tom Cruise's relationship with Connor is the least complicated. Connor briefly followed in his parent's footsteps as an actor and starred in two films, "Red Dawn" and "Seven Pounds," before pivoting into his passion for deep-sea fishing. He also seems to be the kid who spent the most time with Tom Cruise.

The accomplished DJ was spotted with Tom Cruise in 2013 when they sat together during a game between the Los Angeles Kings and the Chicago Blackhawks. The father-son duo was also seen together during a hangout in 2019. According to People, Connor and Tom share a love for helicopters, and the doting dad once took some time to teach his son some aviation basics.
