Katie Holmes didn’t want to wait too long for the financial status of her and her ex-husband Tom Cruise’s daughter Suri to be misunderstood.
The Dawson’s Creek alumnus corrected the record a few days after a media report on December 5 suggested that the 18-year-old is now a “millionaire” because of a purported trust money from her father that “kicked in” when she became a legal adult.
On December 8, Katie posted a screenshot of the article to Instagram with the caption, “Completely false,” and “Enough.”
Since Suri and Tom’s 2012 divorce after more than five years of marriage, the Batman Begins actress has mostly kept Suri out of the public eye. The teen is the sole child of the former couple, and Katie has started to share more stories about her in recent years.
“I really like to protect her,” the 45-year-old told Glamour in 2023, referring to her daughter’s high level of visibility at an early age. “I’m incredibly thankful to be her mom. She is an amazing individual..
In an August interview with Town & Country, the Broadway actress said, “I’m proud of my daughter.” “Of course, I will miss the close proximity, but I’m really proud of her and I’m happy.”
Out of Tom’s three children, Suri is the youngest. The Mission: Impossible star is also the father of his children from his previous marriage to Nicole Kidman, Bella Kidman Cruise, age 31, and Connor Cruise, age 29
As Suri left for college this past summer, Katie made a rare remark regarding their relationship.
In an August interview with Town & Country, the Broadway actress said, “I’m proud of my daughter.” “Of course, I will miss the close proximity, but I’m really proud of her and I’m happy.”
Out of Tom’s three children, Suri is the youngest. The Mission: Impossible star is also the father of his children from his previous marriage to Nicole Kidman, Bella Kidman Cruise, age 31, and Connor Cruise, age 29.

Getting married to Nicole Kidman
In early 1990, while filming the racing film Days of Thunder, Tom Cruise met Nicole Kidman, who was divorcing his first wife, Mimi Rogers. When he was officially unmarried, he proposed to the Australian actress, and they were married on Christmas Eve of that year.
When Tom told Vanity Fair in 1994, “It was that special connection when you recognize your soul mate,” “She is someone who can relate. I felt as though a completely different existence had begun.
In February 2001, a press announcement announcing their divorce was issued, citing the “difficulties inherent of diverging careers which constantly keep them apart.” It’s unclear, though, if Nicole accepted that justification.
In late 2002, she told Vanity Fair, “I’m starting to understand now [why we broke up].” “At the time I didn’t.”
Earlier that year, her former partner had told the magazine, “I know why, and she knows why. I hope the best for her, as she is the mother of my children. And I believe you simply go on. I don’t say that lightly, either. That’s not what I say with anything.”
Isabella Cruise
Isabella was born on December 22, 1992, and was adopted by Tom and Nicole.
Tom told VF in 1994 that he and Nicole “spoken about children from time to time, but there was always the work,” and that he was “scared to death” the first time he changed a diaper. Then we thought, When would the moment ever be right? That was the beginning of the talk. What would happen if we had this in our lives? You ask yourself as you roll over in bed at night while attempting to fall asleep.One of the topics Nic and I discuss is how we’ve suddenly become a family.
Nicole stated that they want to have more children, ideally through adoption or birth.
“Isabella was meant for us,” she said to the publication. “I believe you have to take advantage of opportunities when they present themselves. It’s fate.
After she lost a pregnancy, she later told VF in 2007 that they had chosen to adopt. “From the minute Tom and I were married, I wanted to have babies,” she stated. Additionally, we lost a baby at a young age, which was really upsetting. We would then adopt Bella at that point.
“There’s a difficult backdrop to that,” she continued, “since I don’t talk about many things very often. Perhaps that narrative will be recounted someday.
Isabella Cruise
Isabella is an artist who attended the Delamar Academy of Make-Up and Hair in London. She and her husband, Max Parker, reside in England.
The absence of the bride’s parents from the couple’s 2015 wedding at the London Dorchester hotel caused some people to take notice.
When asked if she spoke to Tom and Nicole, the newlywed responded, “Of course, they’re my parents,” to Daily Mail Online. “Anyone who says otherwise is full of s–t.”
Additionally, only a select group of close friends were present, and the groom’s parents did not attend either; his mother, Beverly Parker, told the Mail that they did not want to be part of “a media circus.” She described the couple as “lovely,” adding, “I’m very pleased for them both and they’re very happy.”
“You could say” that his wife had given up the limelight, Max told the magazine, but it was “more of a weird situation for everyone else” than for them.
According to insiders who spoke to People, Nicole was only delighted that her daughter appeared content, while Tom paid for the wedding, approved of Max, and was fine with not being present.
Connor Cruise
On January 17, 1995, Connor, who was adopted at birth, completed the family. He is said to reside in Miami and is a DJ and musician.
Nicole and Keith Urban were married in 2006, and they have two daughters: Faith Margaret, born on December 28, 2010, via gestational surrogacy, and Sunday Rose, born on July 7, 2008.
“I’d love them to live with us, but what can you do?” she said to HELLO! in reference to Connor and Isabella’s decision to live with their father following the divorce. (They did go to the Australian Kidman-Urban wedding.)
In a 2014 interview with Now to Love, Nicole described Isabella and Connor as “generous, kind, and hardworking,” qualities that she loved to see in her kids.
She admitted a few years later that both of her elder children, like their father, were Scientologists, but she denied that, despite claims that religion had caused them to become estranged from one another.
In 2018, the Oscar winner told Australia’s Who that “they are adults.” “They have the capacity to decide for themselves. As a mother, it is my responsibility to love them despite their decisions to become Scientologists.
Additionally, Connor has never mentioned his mother in a negative way, just like his sister.
He declared, “I love my mum,” to Australia’s Woman’s Day in 2014 while he was in the city to perform at a festival. “I know that my mother and I are a good match, regardless of what others may think. I adore her. My family is the most important thing in my life.
Additionally, he stated that he loves music, “but the family comes before everything else.”
Getting married to Katie Holmes
When Tom began dating the Dawson’s Creek alum in 2005, he was in a sharing mood and loudly declared his love for the actress to Oprah Winfrey and her couch.
He warned MTV News in June about the PR dangers of showing his emotions. “Here’s the thing, you can’t think about it in terms of what people are going to do or say,” he said. “I want to share my life with this woman,” the statement reads. I have a lot of respect for this woman since she is exceptional, unique, and remarkable. Someone is stating, “I’m happy, I have nothing to hide.” “Dude, I’m happy!”
Within eight weeks of their first date, the Top Gun star reportedly proposed on top of the Eiffel Tower in June 2005.
The 15th-century Odescalchi Castle in Bracciano, Italy, served as the venue for their extravagant wedding on November 18, 2006. Along with the Beckhams, Jennifer Lopez and her ex-husband Marc Anthony, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, Brooke Shields and her husband Chris Henchy, and others, Suri, Connor, and Bella were present.
The Suri Cruise
The daughter of Tom and Katie was born on April 18, 2006.
Suri was initially made public by the October 2006 cover of Vanity Fair, which was first shown on the CBS Evening News on September 5. Annie Leibovitz’s portrait, which paid homage to Linda McCartney’s iconic photograph of Paul McCartney with his infant daughter Mary from his 1970 album McCartney, showed the 3-month-old nestled inside her father’s leather aviator jacket.
Katie said, “She’s a glorious girl,” to the magazine. “She’s the miracle of our life.”
Tom revealed that they simply adored the name after discovering it in a baby book that friends had gifted them. “We later found out that it meant ‘red rose,’ and that was just a bonus,” he said. “Suri—it was perfect.”
Conor, Bella, and the rest of the family were all seated comfortably at Tom’s Telluride home, which he sold for $39.5 million in 2021, according to the article.
“It’s really special to see them holding their little sister,” Katie stated. “To hear them talk about all of the fun things they are going to do together.” Tom was added. “I find it really touching as well. When you watch Bella and Connor grow up, you may see a glimpse of the types of individuals they will become as adults.
In a June 2012 divorce filing, Katie’s lawyer stated that her “primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter’s best interest.”
E! News was informed by Tom’s representative that he “is deeply saddened and is concentrating on his three children.”
The case was resolved rather swiftly, with both parties agreeing that Suri would live mostly with her mother and that her father would have significant visitation privileges. Katie relocated Suri to the East Coast for school and began alternating between New York and Los Angeles.
Like any other Manhattan mother, the Batman Begins actress set out to provide her child with the most typical existence imaginable by taking her to school and gymnastics. Over the years, Katie only posted a few glimpses of Suri on social media, but the paparazzi never stopped clicking away. However, they were also spotted at athletic events and have frequently been to Broadway to witness a performance.
“My child is the most important person to me, and her upbringing is paramount to my work right now,” she shared with Town & Country in 2017. It’s critical that I’m there and that she has a secure, carefree upbringing. Nothing compares to seeing your child flourish, yet I feel really fortunate to do what I do.”
At the same time, she stated, “Children grow farther distant from you every day. That is a good thing. It’s tragic, but they ought to be growing more self-reliant.”
Even though Suri isn’t yet an actress, she did sing the opening number of “Blue Moon” in Alone Together, the romantic comedy that her mother was inspired to compose during the pandemic and later starred in and produced. In addition, Suri sang in her film Rare Objects.
Glamour quoted Katie as saying, “I hope she always does something on my films,” in March 2023. “I ask her all the time. Nevertheless, both of those encounters sprang from the same aspect of our field that I adore: working on these initiatives and growing close to people. And it’s this lovely, creative, and safe place.”
She wrote, “What has been really important for me with my daughter, because she was so visible at a young age, is I really like to protect her,” as Suri was ready to turn 17. Being her father makes me incredibly thankful. She is an amazing individual.
