Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ daughter, Suri Cruise, is officially an adult. The celebrity offspring celebrated her 18th birthday in New York City. However, her father was across the pond in London. This is no surprise as Tom and Suri have been estranged for most of the teenager’s life. Since Tom’s divorce from Katie, the actress and her daughter have been living their lives independent of the Top Gun star’s presence. The actor has reportedly not seen his daughter since 2012. However, all that may change now that Suri’s of legal age.
Page Six reports that Tom and Suri didn’t have any physical contact on her milestone birthday. However, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t some big plans for the father and daughter to reunite. According to Heat World, Tom is open to reconnecting with his estranged daughter now that she has more of a say in her own life.
Tom Cruise Ready To Reconnect With Suri Despite Katie Holmes Objections
Now that Suri Cruise is 18, the financial support she and Katie Holmes have been recieving from Tom Cruise will come to an end. However, Katie is adamant that she and her daughter don’t need Tom or his money to survive.
“Katie’s very clear that Suri doesn’t need Tom’s money to be happy or afford the life they’re accustomed to. Katie’s made plenty of her own money and she can take care of her daughter and send her to whatever college she wants,” an insider tells the outlet.
Meanwhile, Tom Cruise is said to be feeling guilty about how his relationship with his daughter has played out over the years. Despite Katie Holmes objections, there is a chance that he and Suri Cruise could connect in the future.
“Tom is feeling guilty about missing so much of her life, but insists that he hasn’t completely shut Suri out of his life, and does get updates from time to time,” the source continued. “He made that deal to allow her and her mother to live their own lives because that was what Katie wanted. But now Suri’s officially an adult, he feels she’s old enough to make her own choices, and he wants to reach out and build a better relationship with her.”
Only time will tell if Tom Cruise can reconnect with his daughter. However, fans will certainly be interested to see how it all plays out.
