When Dawson's Creek alum Katie Homes married superstar Tom Cruise in 2006, their relationship was under immense media scrutiny. Worse, still, was the press interest in their baby daughter, Suri. The young child was constantly being followed and photographed by the paparazzi when out with her parents, which isn't exactly healthy for any child.
Since Holmes and Cruise's acrimonious divorce in 2012, the young Suri has found herself facing even greater interest from the press. Accordingly, many hitherto unknown facts about the now teenaged Suri have come to light recently. Suri has grown into a creative, socially conscious young lady with an enviable wardrobe and net worth to boot. Here are 10 facts about the teen that only surfaced recently.
10 She Is Super Tall
Who would have thought that little Suri Cruise would grow up to be almost as tall as her mom? Katie Holmes is 5'9" and 15-year-old Suri is only a few inches shorter. Inevitably, this has led to some internet trolling, since her dad Tom Cruise is famed for his diminutive stature. Considering that she is likely still growing, Suri could very well end up being even taller than her mom, too.
9 She Looks Like Her Dad After All
When Suri was an infant, there were some (admittedly unfounded) claims that she may not be Tom Cruise's biological daughter, supposedly bearing a suspicious likeness to Katie's ex boyfriend, Chris Klein.
But now, the teenaged Suri actually does resemble her dad quite a lot. Check out Tom in '80s movies like Risky Business to see how much Suri looks like him. Though she does, of course, look like her mom's doppelganger at times as well.
8 Tom Hasn't Been Seen With Her Since 2013
Since her parents' divorce in 2012, Suri has been estranged from her dad. In fact, it has been reported that she hasn't seen him since 2013. This is likely due to damning allegations with regards to Cruise's religion, Scientology.
Following the divorce, Katie has said that she refused to leave the house. There are varying rumors as to why this was the case, including claims that she feared for her life, as well as her daughter's.
7 She Was Allegedly Left To Cry On The Bathroom Floor As A Baby
Speaking of those allegations, ex-Scientologist Leah Remini made some damaging claims in her exposé, Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology. According to Remini, Cruise left baby Suri to cry on the bathroom floor during a party before his wedding to Holmes.
She alleges that Cruise refused to let anyone, not even Suri's mom, come to her aid and that Cruise's friends and family merely stared at the distressed baby. Remini was so enraged that she forced them to pick Suri up and give her a warm bottle of milk.
6 She Volunteered At A Refugee Camp
Suri and her mom have been involved in philanthropic endeavors. In 2019, Suri and Katie volunteered at a Syrian refugee camp in Greece. Katie shared some wholesome snaps of her daughter playing with the other children and helping out at the camp.
5 She Has A $3 Million Wardrobe
Being the child of wealthy celebs has its perks. One major benefit is having a designer wardrobe. The teen loves expensive clothing and can frequently be spotted wearing designer handbags worth hundreds of dollars, Salvatore Ferragamo pumps, and D&G dresses that, at over $2,000, cost a small fortune.
These days, the teen's fancy fits look straight out of Gossip Girl season 1. Overall, her wardrobe is worth over $3 million.
4 She Is Artistically Gifted
One impressive fact that has recently surfaced about Suri is that she is highly artistic. Mom Katie Holmes proudly celebrated her artistic expertise in a throwback snap on Instagram, showing off a spectacular festive diorama that the pair had made together.
3 She Has Allegedly Been Followed By Scientology Agents
After the dissolution of her parents' marriage, Suri found that mysterious men began following her whenever she was out with her mom. It has been alleged that they were scientology agents.
Katie and her daughter both left the Church of Scientology, which is generally frowned upon in the religion, and this allegedly led to Tom hiring men to keep an eye on his ex-wife and daughter.
2 Her Net Worth Is Enormous
For most ordinary people, it's a little bit disheartening when kids have enormous sums of money that would take several lifetimes for most of us to accumulate. Suri is one of the richest celeb kids. Amazingly, she has an $800 million net worth and also gets an allowance of nearly half a million a year.
1 She Supported Joe Biden
When Joe Biden won the 2020 Presidential Election, Suri was seen celebrating on the streets of New York City with her pals. The stylish teen was snapped making a "power to the people" gesture in celebration of Biden and Kamala Harris' historic victory.
