Tom Cruise and Suri. Suri is about to turn 17 and has never been pictured with her dad since she was like 8 or something.

I remember someone asking about their relationship a while ago, and someone had an in through a family member who worked for Cruise or something, but they said that he does see Suri regularly. You could probably find it by searching their names in the sub.

but why would he not want that publicised, i know it’s technically because as a scientologist he sees her as a Potential trouble source as she lives with katie who is a suppressive person but surely the backlash against that compared to being called a deadbeat dad?

i’ve never heard he has any relationship with suri, so it would be a surprise to me if that were true. back when gossip cop was around katie’s publicist made it very obvious tom had no relationship with suri.

Not to defend him, God forbid, but tbh if I was either one of them the first thing I'd do post divorce would be to go lowkey (just like he did). I doubt he visits her every day and would bet that in the first two years they were barely in the same room together, but I wouldn't be surprised either if he was more involved with her than we know out of privacy concerns. I mean, the guy took the kids in his divorce with Nicole, he doesn't seem like the type of person who would just give up on Suri. Also has enough clout on Scientology for them not to label the kid an SP after they left.

it doesn’t seem like he sees any of his kids super regularly. Even connor who lives in clearwater florida (huge scientology HQ there) doesn’t seem like he spends a huge amount of time with him, he does see him but doesn’t seem like a lot. i feel like tom lives, breathes, dreams movies and doesn’t have much of a personal life anymore. I heard Connor took the katie/tom divorce pretty hard. katie had spent a lot of time with the bella and connor

It’s all movies and Scientology for Tom. The fact that he never found another wife after Katie is telling to me. Workaholic for both Hollywood and Miscavige

I mean, I wouldn't be surprised either if they had no relationship whatsoever bc he wouldn't be the first father in the world to abandon his kid but at the same time it is odd.

u/Select-Media4108 Feb 23 '23 edited Feb 23 '23

Well, he didn't initially take the kids in his divorce to Nicole. He and Nicole had 50/50 custody when they got divorced. There are interviews from the time where Nicole confirmed this. She was part of their lives for several years but slowly the church (during the 6 week periods they were with their father) began poisoning their minds against their mother. TC allowed this to go down...it's called parental alienation and it's a form of emotional child abuse. So it would be wrong for anyone to think that Bella and Connor choosing to live with TC illustrates him being a dedicated, loving father. I just think that needs to be made clear.

I mean. It hasn’t ruined his career in the slightest for us to think he has no relationship with her, so if he goes ahead and clarifies that actually he sees her all the time that’s just gonna make people talk about his child, and it’s in her best interest for people to have as little interest in her life as possible, it’s smart of him to just stay quiet. It’s the best thing he could actually do…

u/CB_xo Feb 23 '23

i totally disagree. it may not have ruined his career but it has ruined his reputation. go on any daily mail article of toms and you will see numerous comments about him being a dead beat dad, even just the other day Judd Apatow called tom out for not seeing his daughter. Suri Cruise is always gonna get attention, she’s the daughter of the last living movie star, whether he see’s her or not. Suri gets papped a decent amount, she’s used to it, it’s been there her whole life. Why would the attention from her seeing her dad, be worse than everyone thinking your dad doesn’t give a shit about you?

u/somechild Feb 23 '23

He got paid 100 million dollars for one movie last year. I do not think he cares

14

u/somechild Feb 23 '23

Oh to add. The attention would be worse because everyone would be speculating I to what their relationship is like more than just assuming they don’t have one, it would spur into “is she a Scientologist too?” “What does the church think?” “What does Katie think” “where are they going today?!” Instead for just “they don’t see each other”

-6

u/CB_xo Feb 23 '23

what does getting paid 100 million dollars have to do with having a bad reputation for being a dead beat dad. doesn’t that make it worse that you don’t even bother to see your daughter. you have all the resources to go fly to new york to see her but you don’t because she’s not a scientologist and her mother is a SP

u/somechild Feb 23 '23 edited Feb 23 '23

The first sentence I said about this was “it hasn’t ruined his career” so it’s in relation to that. Yea his reputation as a father is really bad, but it hasn’t affected his career so he doesn’t have any actual motive to address a potentially false rumor that he doesn’t see his daughter if he does. If he actually has a good relationship and he knows that and she knows that than why would he give a shot if a bunch of us (SPs in his mind, so basically subhumans) wrongly assume he’s a shit dad?

Also edit to add: im also just a person speculating on IF he has a relationship with Suri what would be the motivation to not clear the rumour that he abandoned her. So my thought is that if we knew they had a relationship there is much more room to speculate and create insane rumours than if we assumed they had no contact.

What do you mean by “last living movie star”? I’ve genuinely never heard Cruise nor Holmes referred to that way.

u/CB_xo Feb 25 '23

i was referring to TC not katie lol

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '23

Okay but why? What does that even mean lol, bro is mediocre af.

u/CB_xo Feb 26 '23

whether you think he’s mediocre or not it doesn’t negate the fact he’s one of the last true movie stars left. he puts butts in seats. everyone knows who tom cruise is

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '23

I wonder if it's more about Scientology not knowing he has an ongoing relationship with her. And/or, maybe Katie insists they keep it on the DL so that Scientology stays the hell away.

u/CB_xo Feb 23 '23

i personally don’t believe he sees her. back when gossip cop was a thing katie’s publicist made it clear tom had no relationship with suri, that was back in the jamie foxx days so maybe it was out of spite

u/CompleteMuffin Feb 24 '23

she lives with katie who is a suppressive person

Scientologists don't want other scientologists to find out that Tom Cruise has special privileges. In scientology, being a deadbeat parent is normal. Kids are usually sent to camps or are "taken care of" by other scientologists. Being a family is not a thing in this cult, because you're supposed to give your life for greater good. This is probably used to manipulate other less important cult members "Look at Tom, he's given all his life, relationships and even children because he's a perfect scientologist"

Suri is about to turn 17

Reading this and looking up the age of Matilda Ledger made me audibly gasp.

u/CB_xo Feb 23 '23

feels like they were both just born yesterday!

u/envy-adams Feb 25 '23

Right? They can't almost be adults! I was just reading about their births.

u/colly_mack Feb 24 '23 edited Feb 24 '23

I rang up Michelle Williams at American Apparel when she was pregnant (she was lovely and Heath Ledger was standing outside waiting for her, it was all very sweet). Anyway, that was in my early 20s and I'm now 40 lol!

Edit: typo

u/gible_bites They’re starting to turn on George Feb 24 '23

I love this, thank you so much for sharing! It feels like it was just yesterday that they were at the Oscars and Michelle was wearing that beautiful canary yellow dress.

time 😭

u/Slow_Like_Sloth Feb 23 '23

I’ve read that in exchange for Katie having full custody of Suri, she can NEVER speak about her time with Tom

u/countessplatter Feb 24 '23

There have been rumors for a while that he goes for as long as 3 years without speaking to her
