After their separation, Suri and mum Holmes took a step back from the spotlight, prioritising their privacy and focusing on their personal lives. Over the years, Suri has become somewhat of a mystery, with her mother fiercely guarding her so she can have a normal upbringing and childhood. It seems like just yesterday that she was the apple of her parents’ eye, held close in Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ loving arms as the world’s most famous baby. The daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise has been spotted out and about lately, and on Saturday she looked ready for summer while heading out to lunch with a friend in New York.

Despite her success, however, Holmes said that she never pressured her daughter to watch her work. “She has seen Dawson’s Creek, and I think it’s probably weird since she’s a teenager. I’m not like, ‘You need to watch mummy’s work.’ But during the pandemic, we had a good laugh about it.

After the divorce, Katie Holmes was granted primary custody, and immediately uprooted Suri Cruise from California to NYC. According to the NY Daily News, Holmes enrolled Suri, then 6 years old, in first grade at Avenues, a Chelsea private school with a $40,000 tuition. In an interview with InStyle, Holmes opened up and confessed that the time post-divorce was "intense" as a newly single mom. "It was a lot of attention, and I had a little child on top of it. We had some funny moments out and about in public. So many people I didn't know became my friends and helped us out, and that's what I love about the city," Holmes said. Katie Holmes said she and Suri Cruise were in and out of New York during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring of 2020, according to Yahoo Entertainment.

What happened to Suri during TomKat's divorce?

The celebrity guest list included Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, David and Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, and Leah Remini. Online, also in attendance were Cruise's two older kids Connor and Isabella (whom he adopted with Nicole Kidman); Holmes' maid of honor, her sister Nancy Blaylock; and Cruise's best man, Scientology leader David Miscavige. The name Suri, according to Cruise in an interview with Vanity Fair, came from a baby-naming book, and means "red rose." CBS News reported that Suri was born weighing 7 pounds, 7 ounces, and measuring 20 inches long. Holmes also recalled how spending time with a friend with a young child made her reminisce about raising Suri.

"I painted, we had a sewing machine, so we were making quilts, we were cooking; we were on a perpetual vacation," Katie told the sophomore issue of Amazing magazine.

"So it comes out of love for me to include someone who I love dearly," she continued. Katie also spoke about how Suri has slowly started getting involved in her mum's work. "I'm very grateful to be a parent, to be her parent. She's an incredible person." The Dawson's Creek star welcomed Suri with Tom Cruise back in 2006, but the couple parted ways just six years later.

In 2019, Holmes and then-13-year-old Suri were photographed leaving a yoga studio together, decked out in stylish yoga gear. It seems Holmes, who works out 4 times a week, is passing down her healthy habits and active lifestyle to her daughter. "Working out gets me ready for what's ahead and releases whatever frustrations I might have. Afterward I'm like, 'OK, now I can focus on what's right in front of me," Holmes told Shape. In June 2014, InTouch reported that Cruise had not seen or spoken to his daughter in 1,000 days. In April 2019, an insider told Hollywood Life that Tom "still loves" Suri and that "Tom never intended to be estranged from his daughter," and "looks forward to repairing the relationship one day."

Holmes marked her daughter's 15th birthday with an adoring tribute on Instagram, complete with new (old) photos of Cruise. Holmes has largely kept photos of her daughter off social media, so the tribute is a very rare look into Cruise's life with Holmes. Suri Cruise turned 15 years old on April 18, and her mom, Katie Holmes, took to Instagram to share some love for her only daughter.

"The child weighed 7lb, 7oz and was 20 inches in length," said a spokesman at the time. She remains in New York City with her mum and the two are more often spotted out and about together. Whether they are grabbing tacos, catching a Broadway play, or boarding a flight at the airport, the mother-daughter duo always turns heads with their effortless style and palpable closeness. Things took a dramatic turn when Tom’s whirlwind romance with Holmes ultimately led to their high-profile divorce in 2012. "Hobbies such as sewing, painting and writing became new hallmarks of satisfaction and having had time at home to just be. To listen," she wrote at the time.

"It's very important that I'm present and she has a stable, innocent childhood." It's no secret that Suri Cruise and Katie Holmes do everything together, and that includes working out. In an interview with Shape magazine, Holmes opened up about her workout routine and more importantly, her workout buddy.

Every age that my child has been and my age at that time has been a good match. The Batman Begin actress went on to recall how, during isolation, she reinforced her mantra to be more present in her daily life.

But now that her daughter is 16 and starting to come into her own, Katie is slowly starting to speak about Suri in interviews again - and even enlisting her help in her film projects. At the time, Tom already had two adopted kids — Connor Cruise and Isabella Cruise — from his marriage to Nicole Kidman. Like Tom, Connor and Isabella continue to practice Scientology, while Katie, Suri and Nicole do not. "I have to say, I did recently see some fan site [about her] posted when she was a baby, and it was very intense. We were followed a lot when she was little," Holmes recalled. "During this time of uncertainty, remembering to be creative and positive has been something I have tried to keep at the forefront of my mind," said Holmes.

"It was spiritual. It was powerful. It was indescribable. What words can you use? It's still something that I'm processing and keep reliving." The 16 year old, who is the daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, was photographed wearing a white tanktop, some sweatpants and blue converse shoes. "Taking time in Washington Square Park with a friend whose little child was taking his first steps brought me back to when my own child began to walk," she wrote. "I felt nostalgic and in awe of the power of time and the continuation of life." The newly 18-year-old was pictured smiling as she stepped out onto the streets of New York City on the eve of her birthday, carrying an array of gifts as she walked with friends. Many of us will remember reports that stated Katie had undergone a 'silent birth' with Suri, according to a rumoured Scientology recommendation for a quiet environment during childbirth.

Holmes was awarded primary custody of Suri in the divorce, with Cruise gaining visitation rights. While Holmes did not receive spousal support in the settlement with Cruise, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Suri is set to receive $400,000 in child support per year until her 18th birthday. Cruise is also required to pay for Suri's expenses, including medical, dental, insurance, education, college and other extracurricular costs.

"I hope she always does something on my films. I always ask her," she said. While Suri's digital presence is highly curated and limited, even on Holmes' own Instagram, the mother-daughter duo doesn't hold back when it comes to displaying their close relationship during public appearances. Suri and her mom have been seen at each others' hips at events such as the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards and the Z100 Jingle Ball introducing Taylor Swift, and have even been spotted strutting the streets of Manhattan wearing matching outfits. It feels like yesterday that the former couple welcomed Suri into the world in 2006.
