One thing you might not know about Tom Cruise is that he actually has a 16 year-old daughter named Suri, with actress Katie Holmes.
However, as their daughter begins to apply to college, it’s been revealed that she doesn’t have a relationship with her father at all and he has ”no part in her life.”
Suri, who turns 17 next month, has been thinking about her future which could include going to a fashion college in New York.
It’s thought that her mom Katie is heavily involved in the application process as she helps her daughter to take the next step in her life, however dad Tom is nowhere to be seen.
The couple were married in 2006 until 2012, and have one child together.
However, Tom has been estranged from his daughter since 2013, a year after he and Katie divorced.
It’s not been confirmed why he choses not to see his daughter, but there is speculation that it’s to do with Tom’s religion and role in the Church of Scientology.
A source said: “Suri does not know her father anymore and she has not spent time with him in a decade. She does not go to see his movies and he has no part in her life.”
Despite this, Tom will pay his daughter’s tuition costs per his divorce agreement.
According to their divorce documents, Tom agreed to pay Katie $400,000 a month until Suri turned 18 years old.
As for college, a source said “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.”
