Tom Cruise publicly dated Holmes in April 2005 after breaking up with Nicole Kidman, with whom he shares two children: Isabella and Connor. The couple married about seven months after welcoming the birth of daughter Suri Cruise in April 2006. She was their first and last child before Holmes filed for divorce in June 2012.
Suri means “princess” in Hebrew, and Tom Cruise’s daughter also lived like a real-life princess.
As soon as she was born, Suri was the focus of the press and was sought after. When she appeared on the cover of the prestigious Vanity Fair magazine with her parents, she captured the public spotlight and helped this magazine sell 700,000 copies.

When Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes divorced in July 2012, Suri Cruise lost the aura of a “Hollywood princess”. She left the “splendid castle” to return to a normal life with her mother, Katie.
According to People, Katie won primary custody of Suri, while Tom was granted visitation rights. Katie and her mother moved to New York and started a new life when Suri was only 6 years old.
However, the last time father and son appeared together was in 2012, shortly after their divorce. The actor arranged his time after filming the movie Oblivion, then went straight to Katie’s rented apartment in Manhattan to pick up Suri to go to gym class.
When visiting his children, Tom Cruise dressed very simply in jeans and a dark T-shirt. The millionaire father held his daughter tightly in his arms, and little Suri also hugged his father and did not let go. He bought a lot of toys and stuffed animals to bring with him.
After that, father and son spent time together at the Greenwich Hotel – where Tom temporarily stayed during his time in New York. Eyewitnesses said: “Tom Cruise looks really happy.”

Although Suri still uses her millionaire father’s last name, the American media all believe that the Mission Impossible star has “estranged” her daughter. The actor even skipped her recent 15th birthday to continue filming a movie in England. A large part of public opinion criticized him for being cold and not spending time with his daughter.
Another part of public opinion believes that Tom Cruise can still meet his daughter without the media and public finding out. He has the right to visit his children 10 days per month.
From there, after nearly 10 years, Suri Cruise has grown up like a normal girl. From being a princess living in luxury, being escorted and surrounded by bodyguards, Suri now travels by public transport such as buses and subways alone.
Katie wants to give her child a life like other children. The girl was taught by her mother to be honest, kind and love everyone. Suri spent her childhood completely without being scrutinized or watched too much.
In 2020, in an interview, her mother Katie shared: “My biggest goal is always to nurture my daughter to form her own personality. I want to make sure she is 100% herself and learns to be strong, confident and independent.”

“We were watched a lot when she was little. For now, I just want my daughter to go out normally, maybe even walk around the park,” Katie Holmes told InStyle.
Although she lets her children wear popular clothes, use public transportation… to learn how to be thrifty and independent, when it comes to learning, the actress does not hesitate to invest heavily in her children.
