Suri Noelle, daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, looks so much like her mom that some critics say it is difficult to tell them apart in photos. Now 18, the young woman has even adopted her mother’s fashion style and wears the clothes that her mom wore in the 1990s. In a June interview, Holmes told reporters that her wardrobe has “disappeared” thanks to her daughter, who recently became a freshman at Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania.
Suri, who no longer uses her father’s name, has largely stayed out of the limelight despite her famous parents. She was born in 2006 and is Tom Cruise’s only biological child. The couple separated under a veil of secrecy in 2012, with rumors circulating that Cruises’s commitment to the controversial Church of Scientology was a determining factor. Media reports indicated that Holmes did not want to raise her daughter inside the church, and divorce papers note that Ms. Holmes won sole custody of Suri and $400,000 per year from Cruise until the girl turned 18.
The final straw for Holmes and Scientology reportedly came when church members moved into their home to observe their marriage and ensure their star status was utilized to the church’s advantage. Ms. Holmes turned to her father, a high-profile attorney, to help her navigate her way out of the marriage. Cruise later acknowledged that he had lost all contact with his daughter.
In 2017, Holmes’ new relationship with fellow actor Jamie Foxx became public knowledge. The divorce settlement with Cruise prohibited the actress from publicizing any further relationships for five years, and as soon as that time was up, the couple acknowledged their romance. That relationship ended in 2019.
Katie Holmes rose to fame in the 1990s when she played Joey Potter in the hit teen TV series Dawson’s Creek. The Ohio native went on to secure solid roles in several films in the succeeding years before leaving Tinseltown in 2003 to focus on a career in theater. The actress returned to TV screens in 2009 with a starring role in a remake of the 1970s movie, “Don’t Be Africa of the Dark.”
