Holmes shared a photo from the trip on Instagram, posting a black-and-white shot of Suri smiling as she high-fived a young child. It seems like just yesterday that she was the apple of her parents’ eye, held close in Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ loving arms as the world’s most famous baby. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes‘ daughter, Suri Cruise, turned 15 years old on Sunday, April 18, and fans can’t believe how fast she’s grown up. Suri seems to want to follow in her parents’ footsteps and chase a career in acting. Page Six exclusively reported in December that the teen landed a lead role in her school’s play.

In December 2022, Holmes wore a Y2K-inspired outfit on the red carpet that featured a mini dress over jeans and sneakers. Months later, Cruise was pictured wearing a long denim skirt with black sneakers that screamed throwback. In 2023, the mother and daughter looked more like sisters while wearing laid-back airport outfits, per Page Six. Despite dressing lowkey, both Holmes and Cruise are known to be fashionistas, and the teen reportedly plans to study fashion. A source told Us Weekly in April 2020 about how “in sync” Suri and Holmes are as a mother-and-daughter duo. “You’d struggle to find a mom-daughter duo who are more in sync with each other,” the insider said.

Holmes looked laid-back in an oversize denim jacket layered over a red sweater and black trousers. She accessorized with white sneakers, sunglasses, a chunky statement necklace and a soft leather black tote by Mansur Gavriel, which retails for $795. "For Dakota to come out the week of Suri's birthday and talk about getting presents and a birthday cake from Tom was a shock," our insider source shared with us. Sadly, the marriage came to an end six years later when Katie filed for divorce where she claimed in court documents that she wanted "to protect Suri from Scientology" and by extension her father, a long-time and devoted member of the church. Suri celebrated her 16th birthday recently on April 18th, meaning she is now legally able to apply for a New York driver’s license.

"Katie has safeguarded Suri and she's a devoted mom," the source told the outlet. "This is a girl who is a private citizen. She hasn't lived her life in public." "Suri has grown up spending a lot of time with Katie's family in Ohio, and she's close to her grandparents and aunts," the insider said. "They are a close-knit family and have done everything they can to be there for her and to help with her upbringing."

According to Scientology expert Rick Ross, Church followers are taught to avoid Suppressive Persons (SPs) and "Potential Trouble Sources," (PTS). "Tom Cruise would not want to come in contact with an SP. And if he views his daughter as a PTS, which is very likely, he would not be that excited about dealing with her either," Ross told Hollywood Life. "We are committed to working together as parents to accomplish what is in our daughter Suri's best interests," a joint statement read (via The Hollywood Reporter). "We want to keep matters affecting our family private and express our respect for each other's commitment to each of our respective beliefs and support each other's roles as parents." Throughout the course of their six-year marriage, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes became persistent tabloid icons — as did Suri Cruise. The family had the constant attention of paparazzi, whether they were walking down the street for a family outing in NYC or on the red carpet while promoting a film release.

The proud mama shared a rare video on her Instagram of Suri in black-and-white bounding through an empty street. In an interview with "Today," Katie Holmes said her parenting secret for raising a down-to-earth teen is to "listen" to her daily and "reward her for hard work." By the time she was five years old, Suri had already accrued a wardrobe worth approximately $3.2 million, including $150,000 worth of shoes alone (as reported by the Daily Mail). Her collection included high fashion brands such as Dolce and Gabbana and Ferragamo. The young influencer's parents generated media buzz concerning questionable fashion choices, including allowing Suri to dress in high heels and letting their young child wear lipstick and manicured nails. While she may have majorly famous parents — Suri is the daughter of Holmes and Tom Cruise — Suri has had a relatively normal childhood, thanks to her mom, who does her best to keep her daughter out of the spotlight and off of social media.

Will she study fashion at university?

While Holmes inched back into headlines for her relationships and various professional moves over the years, Suri has not yet returned to the public eye. The high-profile relationship of her parents Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes made Suri’s birth in April 2006 one of the most publicised celebrity events of the entire noughties. "My child is the most important person to me, and her upbringing is paramount to my work right now," the Dawson's Creek actress told Town & Country (via Page Six). "It's very important that I'm present and she has a stable, innocent childhood." It's no secret that Suri Cruise and Katie Holmes do everything together, and that includes working out. In an interview with Shape magazine, Holmes opened up about her workout routine and more importantly, her workout buddy.

While it's unknown whether she's just visited the gym or gone for a run, her love of workout gear and toned physique makes it clear she stays in shape. The name Suri, according to Cruise in an interview with Vanity Fair, came from a baby-naming book, and means "red rose." CBS News reported that Suri was born weighing 7 pounds, 7 ounces, and measuring 20 inches long. "What has been really important for me with my daughter, because she was so visible at a young age, is I really like to protect her," Holmes, 45, disclosed to Glamour in 2023. It’s unclear where the teenager was off to, but she held on to a pink water bottle as wired headphones hung out of her pocket. Suri Cruise joins mom Katie Holmes as she speaks on stage at the 2015 Global Citizen Festival to end extreme poverty by 2030 in Central Park on September 26, 2015 in New York City.

It’s Holmes first acting role since the 2020 film “The Secret” and it’s the second feature film she’s directed. The 16 year old, who is the daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, was photographed wearing a white tanktop, some sweatpants and blue converse shoes. In June 2022, Katie Holmes introduced Suri to her new boyfriend, Bobby Wooten III (via Stylecaster). According to Elle, Wooten, a musician and composer, made his public debut as a couple with Holmes in May at The Moth's 25th Anniversary gala, The Silver Ball, held at Spring Studios in New York City.

"I love her so much. My biggest goal has always been to nurture her into her individuality. To make sure she is 100 percent herself and strong, confident and able," she explained. "And to know it. She came out very strong, she's always been a strong personality ... She's very focused and a hard worker." Growing up, Suri Cruise was one of the most photographed children of celebrities, which is why her mother Katie Holmes has made a concerted effort to give her a normal upbringing, as shielded from the Hollywood spotlight as possible. "What has been really important for me with my daughter, because she was so visible at a young age, is I really like to protect her," Holmes told Glamour. "Suri is applying to schools all over the place. [Katie] really does want her to stay in New York so they can be close to each other. Katie takes great pride in her but is also extremely overprotective," a source told Daily Mail. It's reported that Holmes is helping Suri with applications, while the only input her estranged father Tom Cruise will have is paying the college tuition costs as per the divorce agreement between him and Holmes.

While her mother is undoubtedly showering the young singer with love for her monumental day, Tom Cruise has given a clear sign that daughter Suri's 18th birthday isn't on his radar. According to a report from the Daily Mail, the "Top Gun" actor is a non-factor in Suri's life. "Tom does not exist to her. Suri will not have any contact with her father, despite being 18, and even if he called, she would not answer" a source told the outlet. "He does not exist to Katie or Suri, and his daughter does not want to rely on him for anything." The source added that Suri acknowledges Holmes as her only parent. Of course, not many "normal" teenagers can say they've had their voice featured in their mother's films, but that's as much as Suri's been involved in Hollywood so far. "Other than that, she's a 16-year-old kid doing high school," Holmes told Yahoo Entertainment.

Katie Holmes takes her young daughter Suri, age 2m to see “The Nutcracker” at the New York City Ballet on December 14, 2008 in New York City. During the Covid-19 pandemic, they reportedly quarantined together at home and binge-watched one of Holmes’ iconic TV shows. In an interview with Variety, Holmes revealed that they watched plenty of shows together, including Dawson’s Creek (2008) – the hit show that launched Holmes’ career.

Holmes even shared a candid photo of Suri celebrating her 14th birthday on her Instagram. "This lockdown has had a lot of silver linings. It was a beautiful moment. I think when you have less, you are more creative," Holmes told "Entertainment Tonight" in an interview. "This year has also been a reminder that the simple things are really beautiful and that is, those are the gifts of life," she said.

Check out how Suri has transformed throughout the years right before our eyes, starting with her parents' very public whirlwind romance, continuing through their equally public divorce, and where that leaves Suri today. Jane is an entertainment writer and social media manager based in the US specializing in viral trends and celebrity news. She has contributed to notable platforms like Ranker, HollywoodLife, and People Magazine. Holmes rarely shares photos of her daughter on her own social media pages, though she does occasionally post sweet shoutouts to Suri on her page. For her milestone birthday, Suri wore a pink patterned dress, pink sneakers and a mint-green blazer, her hair pulled back as she carried a blue purse decorated with strawberries. On Thursday, Suri was spotted with her mom, Katie Holmes, and a group of friends at a restaurant in SoHo in New York City to celebrate her birthday, with Holmes leading the girls past photographers as they left the establishment.

This isn't the first time Suri has dabbled in acting and performing, as her mother has showcased her daughter's vocal talents in her cinematic projects. Suri's singing is featured in the opening credits of the 2022 film Alone Together, which Holmes directed, produced, and starred in. In this project, Suri performs a rendition of the 1934 classic "Blue Moon," originally by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart.
