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. In a July interview with Yahoo! Entertainment, the Dawson's Creek actress opened up about the 16 year old singing in the film she wrote, directed and starred in. According to Katie, Suri's cover of Frank Sinatra's "Blue Moon" made it in the movie when she was searching for powerful vocals and one name came to mind. However, as we all know, Suri’s childhood was marked by a constant roller coaster of media attention, with the tabloids and the public obsessively tracking her famous parents’ every move and making her the object of fascination too as a little toddler.

Fashion school seems like the perfect choice for Suri, as she was already dishing out fashion advice to her mom at the age of four. "Like today I'm wearing brown suede pants, and [Suri] said, 'I don't like your pants.' But then she'll say, 'You've got to wear these shoes.' Or 'That's so pretty, Mom. Wear that.' She's got a great eye," Holmes told Elle in 2011 (via People). Suri's interest in fashion no doubt stems from her mother, whose name these days is more synonymous with fashion than it is acting. Holmes is always in attendance at fashion weeks, she's graced the covers of multiple fashion magazines, and even co–founded her own clothing label in 2008 called "Holmes & Yang."

Some may wonder if that's the case in real life, and it appears to be so, thanks to Holmes' mom, who raised Holmes to be a good person. Additionally, a lack of personal drama (maybe besides the split with Tom Cruise, which Holmes also keeps incredibly private) also demonstrates Holmes' laidback personality. In interviews, Holmes describes herself as a creative, spontaneous person who is also driven by her work. "I'm getting the projects I want made and just relaxing a little," she told InStyle in 2020. Katie Holmes is known for her friendly, girl-next-door energy, and her daughter Suri, who always appears chipper and friendly in photos, seems to be equally charming. Holmes, for her part, has always been relatively private, but photos of her show a calm, friendly demeanor.

Dressed casually in sweatpants and zip-up sweaters, Suri could have easily been Holmes' mini-me. However, one of the most striking things about these photos was that Suri appeared to be a smidge taller than her mother. Considering that Holmes was photographed wearing a baseball cap, this means that the high schooler is set to be taller than either of her parents. The young teen is celebrating her 15th birthday, and to mark the occasion, Holmes shared a trio of never-before-seen black-and-white photos of her daughter on Instagram. She wrote, "Happy 15th Birthday Sweetheart! I love you!!!!!!!! I can’t believe you are already 15!" TBH, same.

"That is a distortion and a simplification of the matter. I don't want to just give an oversimplification of religious doctrine," Cruise said. According to Scientology expert Rick Ross, Church followers are taught to avoid Suppressive Persons (SPs) and "Potential Trouble Sources," (PTS). "Tom Cruise would not want to come in contact with an SP. And if he views his daughter as a PTS, which is very likely, he would not be that excited about dealing with her either," Ross told Hollywood Life.

She was the most special guest at her parents' wedding

The young influencer's parents generated media buzz concerning questionable fashion choices, including allowing Suri to dress in high heels and letting their young child wear lipstick and manicured nails. The couple quickly become engaged and announced they were expecting a child together in October 2005, according to People. Cruise was reportedly so excited that he even bought a sonogram machine in order to see baby Suri in utero. While all that attention might have made some kids want to run and hide, Suri embraced it, waving at the paparazzi cheekily and marching to the beat of her own drum. Of course, there is one way that Cruise might remain present in Holmes' and Suri's lives. TMZ has previously claimed that Cruise pays the mother-daughter duo about $33,000 per month in child support.

Even their eyes are similar shades of green, although Holmes' hazel eyes have a tint of brown, while Suri's are solid green. Suri is also almost as tall as her five foot, nine inches mother, beating her dad Tom Cruise's height before she even turned 18. Proceedings moved swiftly, and the couple reached a settlement after just 11 days (per InStyle). Holmes was awarded primary custody of Suri in the divorce, with Cruise gaining visitation rights.

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. Holmes even shared a candid photo of Suri celebrating her 14th birthday on her Instagram. "This lockdown has had a lot of silver linings. It was a beautiful moment. I think when you have less, you are more creative," Holmes told "Entertainment Tonight" in an interview. "This year has also been a reminder that the simple things are really beautiful and that is, those are the gifts of life," she said.

Back in 2006, pop culture enthusiasts were first introduced to the only child between the "Dawson's Creek" star and Tom Cruise. Despite being the daughter of two of the biggest actors in Hollywood, Suri has been kept out of the looming spotlight, especially after the messiest parts of Cruise and Holmes' divorce in 2012. However, in 2020, Holmes said something revealing about Suri while speaking to InStyle. "I love her so much. My biggest goal has always been to nurture her into her individuality. To make sure she is 100 percent herself and strong, confident and able," she explained. "And to know it. She came out very strong, she's always been a strong personality ... She's very focused and a hard worker." When it comes to famous celebrity kids, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’s daughter Suri has made her mark in more ways than one.

The last person the actress was romantically connected to was musician in Bobby Wooten III from April 2022 until December 2022. In 2019, the “Batman Begins” actress gushed over her mini-me in an interview with Shape magazine, revealing they like to work out together. In November 2019, Holmes stepped out in a beige cardigan with a matching knit bra — and everyone went crazy over her ability to transform something as simple (and, let's face it, unsexy) as a cardigan into a sexy and chic look. When Holmes was asked if she intended to make the cardigan such a Look, she replied, as cool as ever, that the piece of clothing was just "very comfortable and easy" (via Vogue). In a deposition with Bauer Media, Cruise was asked whether he and the church considered Holmes a "Suppressive Person," or someone who tries to keep others down.

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 2023, Suri was photographed buying flowers on Mother's Day, and the young woman is the spitting image of her mother. Over the years, headlines everywhere have noted how similar the mother and daughter look to each other, but now that Suri is almost an adult, the resemblance is even more uncanny. The duo share the same long, chocolate brown hair, angel face, and sweet, signature smile.

I’m not like, ‘You need to watch mummy’s work.’ But during the pandemic, we had a good laugh about it. It’s wild to have a daughter who’s almost the same age as I was when I began all this,” she said in the Variety interview. 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. The photo, taken from behind, shows off Suri's long, long brunette locks, which the birthday girl topped with a fun, oversized, pink and white flower crown.

Katie Holmes was a household name in the 1990's and early 2000's, but she sort of dropped off the radar after divorcing Tom Cruise in 2012, leading many to wonder what the once-uber-famous actress was up to. "My child is the most important person to me, and her upbringing is paramount to my work right now," Holmes told Town & Country. "It's very important that I'm present and she has a stable, innocent childhood." After going through such a high-profile divorce, it makes sense that Holmes wanted to shield Suri — and herself — from the media as much as possible. Physical similarities and matching outfits aside, it seems that the most important thing that Holmes has passed down to her daughter is her determination and independence. "My biggest goal has always been to nurture her into her individuality," Katie said to InStyle. "To make sure she is 100 percent herself and strong, confident, and able. And to know it. She came out very strong — she's always been a strong personality."

It's reported that Holmes is helping Suri with applications, while the only input her estranged father Tom Cruise will have is paying the college tuition costs as per the divorce agreement between him and Holmes. By the time she was five years old, Suri had already accrued a wardrobe worth approximately $3.2 million, including $150,000 worth of shoes alone (as reported by the Daily Mail). Her collection included high fashion brands such as Dolce and Gabbana and Ferragamo. According to Marie Claire UK, Suri even became the subject of the eponymous "Suri Cruise Effect," in which parents were influenced by the chic wardrobes of A-list celebrity children and spent top dollar on the latest fashions for their own toddlers.

The first photo appears to be a throwback of her with two of her childhood friends, and in the second, we see Holmes and her daughter sharing a hug. In the third, the mother-daughter duo sport matching pajamas as Suri excitedly hugs her mom. On April 18, Suri Cruise celebrated her 18th birthday, officially stepping into adulthood. While many other teens are eager to have big parties or gatherings for this milestone occasion, the young talent opted to ring in the special day with one of her friends. In a photo obtained by Backgrid, Suri and her unidentified companion are shown walking the streets of New York City with what appear to be presents. The youngest Cruise was also dressed in a stylish and laid-back denim-on-denim ensemble reminiscent of '90s fashion.

Growing up, Suri Cruise was one of the most photographed children of celebrities, which is why her mother Katie Holmes has made a concerted effort to give her a normal upbringing, as shielded from the Hollywood spotlight as possible. "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," Holmes told Glamour. In 2019, Holmes and then-13-year-old Suri were photographed leaving a yoga studio together, decked out in stylish yoga gear.
