The union of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes was one of the most famous of all the celebrity marriages in the 2000s. It was a time where interest in high-profile, A-list couplings was keen, and the collective star power of Cruise and Holmes made them a flagship pairing.<\/p>\n
Fast forward to 2024 and it\u2019s been many years since the duo saw eye-to-eye. Following the breakdown of their marriage and eventual divorce in 2012, relations between Cruise and Holmes notably soured, and though we can\u2019t know for sure, it\u2019s safe to assume there\u2019s little love lost between them today.<\/p>\n
That said, though their marriage would ultimately end in negativity, they do share a daughter, Suri Cruise. And, difficult as it may be to believe, she turned 18 this week!<\/p>\n
Yes, there\u2019s nothing to make you feel old quite like celebrity babies growing up. If you\u2019re anything like me, you\u2019ll remember when children of high-profile individuals came into the world, making it all the more shocking when you stumble on an article that presents them as a fully-fledged adult.<\/p>\n
That was the case when I saw pictures of Suri Cruise, in any case. The teenager hasn\u2019t been a mainstay in the spotlight, neither has her path to adulthood been documented or publicized like the lives of certain other celebrity children.<\/p>\n
Which is probably why fans reacted so strongly to an appearance she made ahead of her 18th birthday. The general consensus is that while she might not share a good relationship with her famous father \u2013 reports insist they do not have a close bond \u2013 she\u2019s certainly inherited his movie star looks.<\/p>\n

Suri was only five years old when her parents went through their divorce, and following the split, she spent little to no time with her father. Speculation insists the pair have an estranged relationship, with Suri having been raised almost exclusively by her mother.<\/p>\n
Mission Impossible star Tom admitted in transcripts from a 2012 defamation lawsuit against Bauer Media that he had not seen Suri for three months after he and Holmes called an end to their union.<\/p>\n
\u201cListen, when there is a divorce \u2026 things change,\u201d he told lawyers in 2013. \u201cIt\u2019s not an ideal scene. It\u2019s not an ideal situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, a report from Page Six last year cited a source as having told them that Cruise had not seen his daughter in a very long time. Neither, the source claimed, does he play an active role in her life.<\/p>\n
As a young child, Suri often found herself photographed at red carpet events with her famous parents, and so fans became accustomed to seeing her. Following Cruise and Holmes\u2019s divorce that obviously changed, and Suri\u2019s exposure in the mainstream media diminished as a result.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s not to say Suri has been kept entirely away from the flashing of cameras, and people have often commented over the years to opine just how much she takes after her mother.<\/p>\n
