Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’s daughter, Suri, divided fans with her look in new photos days before her 17th birthday. A source reportedly explained Tom’s alleged reason for his years-long non-existence in Suri’s life, a child who’s transformed from a little girl into a young adult. The now 18-year-old Surie is reportedly already applying to college.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes had one of the most high-profile marriages of the early 2000s, and out of their relationship came their daughter, Suri Cruise. And now, the young woman is turning 18 today, on April 18!
Although she does not have a good relationship with her father, fans noticed that she resembles Tom when they saw her recently. Suri is ready to forge her own path in life, independent of her parents’ careers. According to reports, the young woman wants to make her own way in the fashion industry.

Although she has decided on a different route through life, Surie has shown off her acting talent in a high school play, in which she took on the role of Morticia in a musical version of “The Addam’s Family.” Besides breaking away from her parents’ career, Surie is also reportedly far from her dad’s religion, Scientology.
Tom and Katie divorced when Suri was just five. After her parents’ divorce, Suri did not see or speak to her father, and the pair still share a highly strained and estranged relationship. Although Tom said not having a relationship with his daughter was not an “ideal situation.”
