Tom Cruise was nowhere to be found as his daughter, Suri Cruise, celebrated her 18th birthday in New York City. According to TMZ, Suri decided to enjoy her birthday by spending the day with her friend as they visited various New York staples. And while her mother, Katie Holmes, wasn’t photographed alongside Suri during the outing, it’s easy to assume that given their closeness, she and Suri celebrated with family at a later time. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for Tom, who’s been estranged from his daughter for more than a decade after Holmes filed for divorce.
TMZ reported that their last in-person meeting took place in 2006, when Tom took Suri to Disneyland. Since then, the father and daughter have presumably had zero contact. In March 2023, a source told Page Six Tom and Suri hadn’t had a relationship for several years. The outlet also referenced Tom’s past comments when he admitted he and Suri hadn’t seen each other for three months shortly after the divorce. “Listen, when there is a divorce … things change,” Tom said in court during a 2012 defamation lawsuit against Bauer Media. “It’s not an ideal scene. It’s not an ideal situation.”
