Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, once among the most high-profile couples of the early 2000s, share a daughter named Suri Cruise, who will soon turn seventeen.

Despite her strained relationship with her father, fans recently noted Suri's striking resemblance to Tom. The young woman is determined to carve out her own path in life, independent of her parents' careers.

Tom and Katie divorced when Suri was only five years old. Following their separation, Suri has not had any contact with her father, resulting in a highly strained and distant relationship between the two.

Tom acknowledged that the situation with his daughter was less than ideal but understood that the family dynamic would change after his divorce from Katie.

One reason behind Katie's decision to leave Tom and prevent Suri from having a relationship with him was to shield her from the Church of Scientology, to which Tom has been a devoted member for many years.

The church's rules prohibited Tom from maintaining a relationship with his daughter because she is not a Scientologist. A source commented on the situation, saying:

"That is his loss, his issue, his problem. He must really be brainwashed."

Leah Remini, a former Scientologist, once confirmed that Tom would view Suri as a "suppressive person" and believe that he should not be connected to her.

Despite the challenges, Suri's personal success remains unwavering. As she approaches her seventeenth birthday, she is preparing to attend college in New York, where she plans to study fashion.

Fans Can’t Agree on Who Suri Resembles More between Her Parents

Katie Holmes and her daughter Suri have shared a close bond since Katie gained sole custody in the early 2000s. Fans have often noted their striking resemblance and similar style as Suri grows closer to her mother's height.

However, recent photos of the mother-daughter duo in New York in late March 2023 have sparked a debate among fans regarding who Suri resembles more.

As Katie and Suri were spotted together, some fans opined that Suri looked just like her mom, while others argued that she bore a stronger resemblance to her father, Tom Cruise. One fan even went so far as to call her Tom's "clone."

Now grown up, Suri has displayed various talents that diverge from her parents' well-known acting abilities. Nonetheless, her creativity shines through, showcasing her unique path in life.

Suri Is Also an Entertainer

Although both of Suri Cruise's parents, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, are multi-award-winning actors, Suri has displayed a talent for music. Katie has requested that her daughter sing a cover of "Blue Moon" for the opening credits of her upcoming production "Alone Together."

The romantic comedy, written by Katie, is inspired by the quarantine period during the COVID-19 pandemic. Katie revealed that she asked Suri to contribute to the project because she believes her daughter is "very, very talented" and only accepts top talent for her work.

Additionally, Suri lent her vocal talents to her mother's 2021 film "Rare Objects." However, despite her involvement in high-profile Hollywood projects, Suri leads a relatively normal life focused on school and friends.

Katie, on the other hand, has shifted gears in her career and has pursued hobbies such as painting, writing, and sewing.

She has also shared her passion for fashion with her daughter. Suri is currently in the process of submitting college applications, and although Katie would prefer her to stay in New York to remain close to each other, Suri is considering studying fashion in the city.
