Does she more closely resemble Mom or Dad?
Months before Tom Cruise made Katie Holmes wife No. 3, they welcomed their only child, Suri Cruise, in April 2006. Six years later in 2012, Katie left Tom and secured primary custody of their daughter in the divorce. Since then, the "Dawson's Creek" alum has raised their daughter mostly in New York City.

Suri Cruise, 16, Is Almost As Tall As Mom Katie Holmes, 44, As They Rock Baggy Jeans In NYC
'Dawson's Creek' alum Katie Holmes stepped out for a stroll with her daughter, Suri Cruise, who nearly towered over her in NYC on Mar. 29.
Brunette beauty Katie Holmes , 44, and her daughter, Suri Cruise , 16, were total mother-and-daughter goals while out for a walk in the Big Apple on Wednesday. While out running errands with her mini-me , the Dawson’s Creek alum looked chic in a pair of baggy jeans and a green puffer jacket . Katie completed the street-style look with a pair of white sneakers, a black baseball cap, and a brown leather tote bag.
The teenager, for her part, nearly matched her mom’s casual look with a darker pair of baggy jeans and a grey hooded sweatshirt. She completed her cozy ensemble with a pair of white sneakers and an iconic Strand Bookstore tote bag. Suri opted to let her chocolate-hued tresses down and parted them just off-center. Katie welcomed her daughter in 2006 with her ex-husband and Top Gun star Tom Cruise , 60.
Katie’s outing with Suri comes just one day after she revealed that her daughter officially watched Dawson’s Creek and they had a “laugh” about it during the COVID-19 pandemic. The 44-year-old starlet spoke to Variety on Mar. 28 about her daughter’s “weird” experience watching the teen drama, in addition to chatting about her upcoming movie Rare Objects . “She has seen Dawson’s Creek , and I think it’s probably weird since she’s a teenager,” Katie recalled. “I’m not like, ‘You need to watch mommy’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.”
The mom-of-one took on the role of Joey Potter in 1998, alongside James Van Der Beek , 46, Joshua Jackson , 44, and The Fabelmans star Michelle Williams , 42. The hit teen drama ran for six seasons and continues to be a loved cult classic among various age groups. These days, however, the Batman Begins star has been focused on other projects, including her off-Broadway play, The Wanderers , and her self-directed movie, Rare Objects . Although she not only directed the latter, she also stars in it, and admitted it can be a challenge to act and direct on a single project.
“It’s exhausting to do both. When you’re the director and you’re acting, you’re always thinking about the clock. I don’t want to take time away from other things. It’s a bit more stressful,” Katie shared with the outlet. “Directing takes longer. To prep, shoot, edit — that’s about a year of your life. When you act in someone else’s project, it’s a couple of months, and it’s their thing. It’s satisfying to be a part of someone else’s vision and to learn from them. I like to do both.” Rare Objects is set to hit theaters on April 14.
Katie and her ex were famously married from 2006 until they called it quits in 2012. Since then, she has been linked to several men, including musician Jamie Foxx , 55. Most recently, she reportedly split from Bobby Wooten III, 33, in Dec. 2022. It’s unclear if Tom and Suri have a close relationship, as they have not been spotted out together in recent years.

Suri cruise, 17, is the spitting image of katie holmes while celebrating mom’s 45th birthday.
Like mother, like daughter.
Suri Cruise looked like the spitting image of her A-list mom, Katie Holmes, when the pair stepped out to celebrate the “Dawsons Creek” alum’s 45th birthday.
The actress flashed a smile Monday night while out and about in New York City with her lookalike mini-me, whom she shares with ex Tom Cruise.
Holmes stunned in a sheer, long sleeve black dress with feather detailing along the hem.
She completed the stylish ensemble with white, pointy-toe boots, a small black purse and an ivory coat draped over her shoulders
The “First Daughter” star walked beside 17-year-old Suri, who was almost as tall as her mom in a gray winter coat, a maroon scarf and black tights.
She aded a pair of black ballet flats and tucked her long brunette tresses into her scarf.
It seems Suri, whose parents were married from 2006 until 2012, is already following in their performer footsteps by trying her hand at singing.
Last year, the mother of one revealed that Suri recorded a cover of the song “Blue Moon” for her film “Alone Together.”
The teenager most recently sang in the soundtrack for “Rare Objects,” which Holmes wrote, directed and starred in.
“She’s very, very talented. She said she would do it and she recorded it and I let her do her thing,” the proud mom told Yahoo! Entertainment last summer.

“That’s the way I direct in general. It’s like, ‘This is what I think we all want — go do your thing.'”
Earlier this year, the “Batman Begins” star said she was protective of her child, whom she lives with in the Big Apple.
“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,” she told Glamour at the time.
Suri is expected to graduate from high school in June and head to college sometime in fall 2024.
Back in March, Page Six reported that the “Top Gun” actor, who is involved with Scientology, hasn’t seen his daughter in years and has almost zero part of her life .

The Stunning Transformation Of Suri Cruise
What is it about celebrity kids that make us go gaga? Is it the adorable clothes, the glamorous inner circle of A-list family and friends, or the 24/7 paparazzi documenting their every move? One person who encapsulates all this and more wrapped in a sparkly bow of mystery is Suri Cruise.
Suri, the daughter of " Top Gun: Maverick " star Tom Cruise and " Dawson's Creek " actress Katie Holmes, has been a household name since her birth in 2006. While her mom intentionally keeps Suri's private life under wraps — as of this writing, Suri does not have any verified social media accounts — the public has remained captivated by the young celebrity's style, background, ties with Scientology, and future endeavors.
Check out how Suri has transformed throughout the years right before our eyes, starting with her parents' very public whirlwind romance, continuing through their equally public divorce, and where that leaves Suri today.
Suri Cruise's birth was 'powerful' and 'spiritual'
On April 18, 2006, Suri Cruise was born in Santa Monica, California, to Hollywood superstar couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, at the time publicly known as " TomKat ." Holmes had been previously told Seventeen magazine that she "used to think that I was going to marry Tom Cruise," so the public became enchanted as Holmes and Cruise, over the course of a year and some enthusiastic couch-jumping, eventually did begin to date in 2005. 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.
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.
"It was everything that we wanted it to be," Cruise said in an interview days after the birth with "20/20's" Deborah Roberts (via ABC News ). "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."
She was the most special guest at her parents' wedding
Suri was the guest of honor at Cruise and Holmes' wedding on November 18, 2006. The new parents shared nuptials in a star-studded ceremony inside the 15th-century Italian Odescalchi Castle outside Rome (per Us Weekly ). The lavish celebration reportedly cost upwards of $3 million , and featured a dinner serenade by Andrea Bocelli, and not one but two Armani wedding gowns worn by Holmes throughout the night.
According to Hello! Magazine , Katie wore one of the two gowns as she arrived to the castle, carrying a 7-month-old Suri. The celebrity guest list included Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, David and Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, and Leah Remini. According to E! 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.
Suri Cruise was a trendsetter before she could walk
Throughout the course of their six-year marriage, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes became persistent tabloid icons — as did Suri Cruise. The family had the constant attention of paparazzi , whether they were walking down the street for a family outing in NYC or on the red carpet while promoting a film release.
Suri quickly became a style icon — even before she could walk. 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 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 .
What happened to Suri during TomKat's divorce?
Tom and Katie called it quits in the summer of 2012. According to CBS News , Cruise said he "didn't expect" Holmes to file for divorce. He received the news while on set for his film, "Oblivion," per People . 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. 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.
"We are committed to working together as parents to accomplish what is in our daughter Suri's best interests," a joint statement read (via The Hollywood Reporter ). "We want to keep matters affecting our family private and express our respect for each other's commitment to each of our respective beliefs and support each other's roles as parents."
Suri has a complicated relationship with father Tom Cruise
Tom and Suri Cruise haven't been seen in public together since a visit to Disneyland in 2012, as reported by Yahoo . According to Us Weekly , the "Mission: Impossible" leading man has the right to see his daughter up to ten days a month, but chooses not to, allegedly because of Holmes and Suri's distance from the Church of Scientology. According to Huff Post , Tom admitted that post-divorce, Holmes and Suri were no longer practicing Scientologists.
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. "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 .
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."
Suri Cruise and Katie Holmes delight in mother-daughter bonding
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.
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 .
"I was happy to become a mum in my twenties. It's been nice that our ages fit ... how do I put this? Every age that my child has been and my age at that time has been a good match. We kind of grew up together," Holmes said in an interview with Elle .
She's been called 'one of Hollywood's most iconic teens'
Suri Cruise turned 13 in April 2019, and was immediately labeled by ET Online as "One of Hollywood's Most Iconic Teens." Through glimpses of Suri's life on her mom's Instagram page, we can tell she's already becoming a stylish and confident young lady. The proud mama shared a rare video on her Instagram of Suri in black-and-white bounding through an empty street. In an interview with " Today ," Katie Holmes said her parenting secret for raising a down-to-earth teen is to "listen" to her daily and "reward her for hard work."
"I do a lot to put perspective on life," Holmes said. "We help out the homeless. We do small acts of kindness. I don't over-gift. I don't inundate my child with a lot of things. We're trying to raise good humans and some days we're better at it than others. We just focus on what she's passionate about and how you feel when you achieve your goals." She continued, joking, "I also demand a 100 on a spelling test!"
She quarantined with mom in NYC during the pandemic
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 . The duo remained quarantined in their NYC apartment during lockdown. 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.
In an interview with Yahoo Entertainment , Holmes was asked about how she felt about Suri (and her NYC classmates) possibly re-entering school in a post-COVID pandemic environment. "I want everyone to be safe as possible," she said. "It's a hard one: I have no expertise on this in terms of health measures, but I just want to be as smart as possible for the whole community and to really prevent anyone from getting sick. My heart really goes out to all the people who have lost people."
Teen Suri stuts the streets of NYC like a runway
As an independent teen, Suri sightings are becoming more frequent in public as the teen explores NYC with her friends. According to Hollywood Life , Suri Cruise is looking more and more like her mom Katie Holmes every day — and becoming a Gen-Z style icon. During a visit to the Harry Potter store in the Flatiron district of Manhattan, Suri and friends were seen rocking Slytherin house colors and bringing back 2000s clothing staples like floral midi skirts and converse sneakers (possibly raiding her mom's "Dawson Creek" character Joey Potter's closet?). This wasn't the first time the young starlet stepped out in vintage threads: She's been spotted bringing low rider flare jeans back in style, too (per Hollywood Life ). Holmes and Suri's mother-daughter bond is still going strong as well, with Momma Holmes showing off their adventures in tie-dye together on Instagram .
"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. And to know it. She came out very strong — she's always been a strong personality. She'll pick an activity and work her butt off until she's really good at it. Then she's like, 'OK, I'm going to try the next thing.' She's very focused and a hard worker," Holmes said in an interview with InStyle .
Suri celebrates her sweet sixteenth
Suri Cruise celebrated her sweet sixteenth birthday in April 2022. The teen still keeps a low profile online, but every now and then proud mom Katie Holmes will send out a loving post on Instagram to celebrate with fans. Holmes' last Instagram post featuring Suri was for her daughter's birthday the year before, with the caption, "Happy 15th Birthday Sweetheart! I love you!!!!!!!! I can't believe you are already 15!"
Nevertheless, witnessing her daughter transform and grow over the years hasn't always been easy for Katie Holmes. "Every day, kids get a little further away from you," she told Town & Country (via HuffPost ). "That's a positive thing. They should be becoming more independent, but it's heartbreaking." She continued, saying, "You want them to stay with you forever, but they're these amazing beings, and you have to do everything you can to give them what they need ― and then they're going to go. And that's going to be very, very sad for me."
In June 2022, Katie Holmes introduced Suri to her new boyfriend, Bobby Wooten III (via Stylecaster ). According to Elle , Wooten, a musician and composer, made his public debut as a couple with Holmes in May at The Moth's 25th Anniversary gala, The Silver Ball, held at Spring Studios in New York City. An insider revealed to Hollywood Life that Suri "absolutely approves" of Wooten. "Bobby treats Suri like an adult, which she likes and Suri thinks it is great to see her mom happy," the insider said.
Suri is growing up to look like like her mother
Suri Cruise is Katie Holmes' mini-me. 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 . 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. Suri and Holmes also share the same slender physique.
On Holmes' birthday in December 2022, she shared a throwback picture of herself as a child on Instagram, and she looks exactly like Suri did when she was younger. In fact, if you didn't read the caption, you might have mistaken it for a picture of Suri.
Her voice has been featured in two of her mom's films
Because of their close bond, it was inevitable that Suri Cruise and Katie Holmes would eventually work together. In July 2022, Holmes revealed to Yahoo Entertainment that Suri's vocals were featured on not one, but two of her movies.
Suri's cover of the hit song "Blue Moon" was featured in the credits of the film "Alone Together," which was written, directed, and starred in by Holmes . "I always want the highest level of talent," Holmes said. "So I asked her! She's very, very talented." The "Dawson's Creek" star added that she gave her daughter creative freedom. "That's the way I direct in general: It's like, 'This is what I think we all want — go do your thing.'" Suri's vocals were also featured in the film "Rare Objects," also directed by Holmes, which is a period drama based on Kathleen Tessaro's novel. Holmes dedicated the film to Suri in the end credits.
In a 2023 interview with Glamour , Holmes gushed about the opportunity to work with her daughter. "I hope she always does something on my films. I always ask her," she said. "But both of those experiences came out of the same sense of what I love about our industry, which is, you have these projects and you become a family with people. And it's this safe, beautiful, creative space. So it comes out of love for me to include someone who I love dearly."
Suri reportedly wants to attend fashion school
Considering the outfits of Suri Cruise have garnered the attention of fashion blogs and enthusiasts alike, it's no surprise that the style icon is reportedly considering attending fashion school in New York City when she graduates from high school.
"Suri is applying to schools all over the place. [Katie] really does want her to stay in New York so they can be close to each other. Katie takes great pride in her but is also extremely overprotective," a source told Daily Mail. 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.
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."
Suri likes staying active
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. "Sometimes I work out with my daughter. It just depends on the day," she said. "We have our routines, and occasionally they overlap. But I don't force her to work out with me because I know that's lame."
The two have been workout buddies for a while. 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.
Suri is often photographed strolling the streets in athletic wear. While it's unknown whether she's just visited the gym or gone for a run, her love of workout gear and toned physique makes it clear she stays in shape.
Suri is living life like an average teen
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.
Of course, not many "normal" teenagers can say they've had their voice featured in their mother's films, but that's as much as Suri's been involved in Hollywood so far. "Other than that, she's a 16-year-old kid doing high school," Holmes told Yahoo Entertainment. Holmes has done a good job, when you consider the lavish lives and high-profile exposure of other celebrity children. We've seen Blue Ivy sing on stage with her mother Beyonce, we've watched the Kardashian children grow up on TV, and we've double-tapped countless pictures of Stormi Webster on her mom Kylie Jenner's Instagram page. Meanwhile, Suri is content taking her dogs for walks and watching "Dirty Dancing" with her mom like any normal teen.
"My child is the most important person to me, and her upbringing is paramount to my work right now," the Dawson's Creek actress told Town & Country (via Page Six ). "It's very important that I'm present and she has a stable, innocent childhood."

Suri was holding a black pet carrier, where her cat Eleanor lay comfortably. The pet was introduced in June of this year , in various selfies shared by Holmes, showing her and Eleanor lying down on the floor.
Over the past few months, Suri has been studying at Carnegie Mellon University, located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Her return to New York coincides with her fall break, which concludes this October 21st, and with Katie Holmes' opening night of "Our Town," the Broadway play the actress currently starring in. Katie made her debut at the Ethel Barrymore Theater this past Thursday, with her daughter likely watching her performance at some point over the weekend.
Suri moved to Pittsburg at the start of the fall semester, in August, with these images being the first instance of her being photographed in the city. Back then, Suri was joined by Katie as the two were photographed on move-in day, with them carrying various items toward Suri's dorm room.
Katie Holmes' 'Our Town' debut
A couple of days ago, Katie shared a post on Instagram thanking her family for attending her show two nights in a row in her support. While Suri wasn't included in the image, Holmes' sisters and parents were seen smiling proudly alongside her. "Thank you to my family for coming to Our Town Broadway two nights in a row! " wrote Holmes. "I love you and am so very blessed."
