Tom Cruise is currently estranged from his daughter, Suri Cruise. The 18-year-old recently changed her name to distance herself from the Hollywood actor.
Tom Cruise and his daughter, Suri Cruise, have broken off all contact. Suri has made a significant change by removing her father from her life.
It’s thought that the Mission Impossible actor, 62, has “chosen not to see his daughter” for the past 11 years because his beliefs in Scientology came first. When Tom finalized his divorce with Suri’s mom, Katie Holmes, in 2012, she was granted full custody of their daughter.
Now, it seems that Suri has completely abandoned her dad. She dropped his last name when she turned 18 and now goes by Suri Noelle, which is her mom’s middle name.
Suri used her new name at her graduation ceremony from the well-known LaGuardia High School of Music and Art and Performing Arts. She was previously known as Suri Noelle during her portrayal of Morticia Addams in her school’s production of The Addams Family, a new musical, which opened last December.
Despite the estrangement, a source has said that for the past 11 years, “Tom has chosen not to see Suri.” They also noted that it was Tom’s decision not to see Suri.
An expert on Tom’s Scientology, Tony Ortega, added, “Tom has repeatedly proven that his No. 1 loyalty is to his religion and David Miscavige.” In an interview with In Touch magazine, he said that it became increasingly clear that Tom had cut entirely Suri out of his life over time.
Before he fell out with his daughter, Tom had talked about how he wanted to have kids. “I’ve always wanted to be a father. “I always told myself that my kids could count on me. I’d always be there for them and love them. I’d never make a promise to my kids I couldn’t keep,” Tom told Vanity Fair in 2006.
In November 2013, Tom tried to explain why he and Katie had become estranged. “Look, when there’s a divorce, things change. “It’s more complicated,” he said in a deposition when asked why he flew to London from Pittsburgh, where he was shooting Jack Reacher, to attend a church event that was “important” to him.
However, he didn’t invite his daughter, who only lives in New York. “You have to ask for permission and ensure you’re on the same page with schedules to make things happen.” “It’s not the best situation,” he said.
Tom wasn’t there for his daughter when she celebrated her 18th birthday in April. Instead, he was seen in the UK celebrating Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday and filming Mission: Impossible.
It’s said that Tom felt guilty about missing his daughter’s birthday and was ready to reconnect. A source told Heat shortly after the celebration: “Tom feels guilty about missing so much of her life, but he says he hasn’t completely cut Suri out of his life and does get updates from time to time.”
