Tom Cruise, Suri Cruise and Scientology: The Story Behind Their Estranged Relationship, Family, Divorce and Legacy
Who Is Suri Cruise?
Suri Cruise is the daughter of Hollywood actor Tom Cruise and actress Katie Holmes.
She was born in April 2006, during one of the most intensely publicized periods of her parents’ relationship.
Her birth attracted worldwide attention because both of her parents were already major Hollywood celebrities.
Tom Cruise was one of the world’s biggest movie stars, known for films such as Top Gun, Jerry Maguire, Mission: Impossible, Minority Report, The Last Samurai, War of the Worlds and numerous other blockbuster productions.
Katie Holmes was also internationally recognized following her work in television and film, particularly her role as Joey Potter on Dawson’s Creek.
Their daughter therefore became a celebrity before she could understand what celebrity meant.
Photographers followed the family from the beginning.
Images of Tom Cruise carrying Suri, Katie Holmes walking with her daughter, and the family appearing together became international entertainment news.
Over time, however, Katie Holmes increasingly sought a more private life for herself and her daughter.
That desire for privacy became particularly significant after her divorce from Cruise.
