Fans Say Suri Cruise Looks Like ‘Female Version Of Tom Cruise’ At 17 — How She Changed Throughout the Years

• Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’s daughter, Suri, divided fans with her look in new photos days before her 17th birthday.
• A source reportedly explained Tom’s alleged reason for his years-long non-existence in Suri’s life, a child who’s transformed from a little girl into a young adult.
• Katie’s daughter showed off her talents as she is ready to build her path in life and reportedly is already applying to college.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes had one of the most high-profile marriages of the early 2000s, and out of their relationship came their daughter, Suri Cruise. The young woman is soon to turn seventeen.

Although she does not have a good relationship with her father, fans noticed that she resembles Tom when they saw her recently. Suri is ready to forge her own path in life, independent of her parents’ careers.

Tom and Katie divorced when Suri was just five. After her parents’ divorce, Suri did not see or speak to her father, and the pair still share a highly strained and estranged relationship. Although Tom said not having a relationship with his daughter was not an “ideal situation.”

He knew that when he and Katie split, things would change within their family dynamic, and accepted that. The actor confirmed that one of the reasons Katie had left him and kept their daughter from having a relationship with him was to protect Suri from the Church of Scientology.

Tom has been a Scientologist for many years. The church allegedly forbade the star from having a relationship with his daughter because she is not a Scientologist, yet a source effused:

“That is his loss, his issue, his problem. He must really be brainwashed.”
