A source close to the family revealed to British media that Suri is applying to schools across the country, but her mother hopes she will stay in New York so they can be close to each other. 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.

Suri was last spotted with Holmes, 45, last month as the mother-daughter duo walked through Soho with big smiles on their faces. Tom was also expected to pay for all of his daughter’s expenses, including college fees. On Friday, extravagant birthday flowers were delivered with a card to her home. Following on from her early foray into the fashion world, Suri has continued to develop a refined and sensible sense of style as she has grown older. Whether it’s pairing neutral dresses with trainers or donning a casual tee and baggy jeans, Suri has slowly but firmly moulded her own unique fashion style. According to Hola magazine, Suri has been applying to several universities across NYC and many believed she would study fashion – her knack derived from mummy dearest, clearly.

From all accounts, and especially from Cruise's, Suri's arrival into the world was fairly extraordinary. In fact, only a few days after her birth, Cruise described the experience to "20/20" and still seemed in awe of everything he witnessed (via ABC News). He said, "It was everything that we wanted it to be. ... It was spiritual. It was powerful. It was indescribable." However, now that Suri is legally an adult, she can make a decision about whether she wants to talk about her relationship with her father and what it was like to be raised by a member of the Church Of Scientology. It is rumoured Cruise’s Church of Scientology prohibits him from seeing “non-believers”, which includes Suri and Holmes.

The actor has been accused of putting his religion before his daughter, with ex-Scientologists claiming he has been ordered to shun Katie and Suri as non-believers. Enjoying her evening stroll with her only child, Katie affectionately played with her daughter's brunette tresses while they waited for a crosswalk to turn green. On their Friday outing, Katie kept it casual in a cream T-shirt tucked into white pants. TOM Cruise's daughter Suri Cruise has been spotted on the streets of Manhattan looking like a full-blown adult. Cruise is a leading figure in Scientology, and in “typical” situations, members of the Church are not allowed to speak to family members who left the Church.

But given Cruise’s profile, it’s unlikely that rule will be enforced. Despite being raised in the public eye — even appearing on Vanity Fair as an infant — Holmes has since shielded her daughter from the spotlight. 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. "I love her so much. My biggest goal has always been to nurture her into her individuality," the Dawson's Creek star said.

Katie gained sole custody of Suri in 2012, along with a generous settlement that has Tom paying a reported £325,000 a year for his daughter’s care. Suri has reportedly not seen Top Gun star Tom in more than a decade after her mom divorced him when she was five. Who was once the most public celebrity child, can now register to vote (yay!), and buy cigarettes (please don’t!) and buy lottery tickets (although, does she need to hit the jackpot?). The teenager, whose birthday is April 18, dressed casually cool in a red sweater with white vertical stripes, a white silk skirt and brown sandals. Katie gained sole custody of Suri along with a generous settlement that saw Tom paying a reported $400,00 a year for his daughter’s care until she turns 18. The teenager - whose dad is filming thousands of miles away in the UK - looked cool in a '90s-inspired double denim outfit on the milestone day.

TMZ previously reported that the divorce settlement required Tom to pay child support of USD $400,000 (approx. AU $624,836) per year until Suri is 18. Holmes, who was 27 years old when she welcomed her daughter in 2006 with ex-husband Tom Cruise, doesn't often post photos of her daughter in order to keep her private life private. "I will say that this time of quarantine has been such a lesson, just really looking at everything you have and celebrating the simplicity of making dinner and (spending) that time together," said Holmes. "I feel strongly that the power of your own attitude definitely influences those around you, including your children." "My child is the most important person to me, and her upbringing is paramount to my work right now," Holmes said at the time, when Suri was 10 years old.

In fact, Tom Cruise was told he can visit with Suri up to 10 days a month, according to Us Weekly. To celebrate her daughter turning 15 on Sunday, Holmes, who is famously private about the teen, posted three Instagram photos of Suri taken throughout the years. Homes shares the teen with ex-husband Tom Cruise, to whom she was married from 2006 to 2012. “I do a lot to put perspective on life," Holmes said. "We help out the homeless. We’re trying to raise good humans and some days we’re better at it than others. One shows Suri as a child, sitting in a kitchen with two other children.

The other images show Suri and Holmes together, hugging tightly; one photo seems to be from when the pair celebrated Holmes' mother's birthday in 2016. In 2021, Holmes shared a trio of rare photos of Suri taken throughout the years on Instagram to mark her 15th birthday. Holmes also opened up about bonding with Suri during the coronavirus pandemic in a November 2020 cover story for Vogue Australia. "I hope she always does something on my films. I always ask her," Holmes told the magazine. "But both of those experiences came out of the same sense of what I love about our industry, which is, you have these projects and you become a family with people." There’s plenty of precedent to think she’ll be getting an extravagant gift.

Holmes said that her daughter also sang in the film "Rare Objects," a period drama based on the novel by author Kathleen Tessaro, which Holmes also directed. Katie Holmes recently shared how proud she is of her daughter Suri Cruise, who shows off her vocal skills in the opening credits of Holmes' new movie, "Alone Together." In one of the pictures, Holmes cradles her look-alike daughter in arms.

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. In 2019, she spoke about "growing up" with her daughter in an interview with Elle UK. "Alone Together" isn't the first film in which Suri has showcased her voice.

Holmes rarely posts photos of her only child, though she does seem to make exceptions to celebrate Suri's birthday or other major milestones. "Hobbies such as sewing, painting and writing became new hallmarks of satisfaction and having had time at home to just be," Holmes wrote at the time. Holmes, who shares the 16-year-old with ex-husband Tom Cruise, gushed about collaborating with her teen daughter in her cinematic work in an interview with Glamour magazine published Wednesday. Suri lent her vocals to songs featured in two of Holmes’ recent films, the 2022 romantic drama "Alone Together" and the upcoming "Rare Objects," both of which Holmes directed. The teen looked so joyful walking around SoHo in New York with her friends, reveling in one of the first sunny days of spring.

In 2004, a then-engaged Katie Holmes admitted to Seventeen that she had once fantasized about marrying Tom Cruise (per HuffPost). Fast-forward a few years, and Holmes found herself walking away from the very marriage she once said she wanted. Notably, Cruise and Holmes were also able to leave their home to head to the hospital in private, which was quite a feat considering the vast amount of attention they were receiving at the time. She’s very, very talented,” Holmes has previously said about her daughter.
