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. Nevertheless, witnessing her daughter transform and grow over the years hasn't always been easy for Katie Holmes.

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." According to CBS News, Cruise said he "didn't expect" Holmes to file for divorce. Proceedings moved swiftly, and the couple reached a settlement after just 11 days (per InStyle).

Suri Cruise's birth was 'powerful' and 'spiritual'

According to Hola magazine, Suri has been applying to several universities across NYC and many believed she would study fashion – her knack derived from mummy dearest, clearly. Suri is following her mum’s footsteps in the entertainment industry and has wowed audiences with her impressive singing voice. Just last year, she was heard in Holmes’ film Alone Together, singing “Blue Moon” in the opening credits. She noted that it was pretty 'wild' to have a daughter who was 'almost the same age' as she was when she started her acting career. Last month, Katie also briefly mentioned her teen daughter in an interview with Variety, revealing that she had finally shown Suri Dawson's Creek.

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. “Alone Together” is a romantic comedy, following two people who accidentally book the same AirBnB during the start of the Covid lockdown, having to ride out the first weeks of the pandemic together. It co-stars Jim Sturgess, Zosia Mamet, Melissa Leo, Luke Kirby and more. It’s Holmes first acting role since the 2020 film “The Secret” and it’s the second feature film she’s directed. While a source told us at the time that Tom has played “no part” in his daughter’s life, another Hollywood insider told us this week that the father-daughter duo haven’t seen each other since 2012.

Page Six revealed in December 2023 that Suri inherited her parents’ acting chops, starring as the lead in her high school play. The teenager, whose birthday is April 18, dressed casually cool in a red sweater with white vertical stripes, a white silk skirt and brown sandals. A source close to the family revealed to British media that Suri is applying to schools across the country, but her mother hopes she will stay in New York so they can be close to each other. Suri celebrated her 16th birthday recently on April 18th, meaning she is now legally able to apply for a New York driver’s license.

"Throughout this experience the through-line for me has been a heightened awareness of each moment and really taking it in and appreciating it." She later posted another image, which showed Suri from behind, donning a pink-and-white floral crown. One photo shows Suri, whom Katie shares with ex-husband Tom Cruise, as a child sitting in a kitchen next to some other kids.

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. 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. 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.

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. Holmes attended the premiere alongside Bobby Wooten III, her boyfriend, and celebrated the debut of the film, which she starred in, wrote and directed. Suri is set to go to college at the end of the summer, making 2024 a big year for the newly-adult. This will be a huge transition for the actress, as her only child is likely going to be flying the nest.

But from photos we’ve seen in the past she enjoys walking around the big city. She explained that asking Suri to sing in her films 'came out of the same sense of what [she loves] about the industry' - the fact that the people you work with on-set become a family, and that it can be a 'safe, beautiful, creative space'. In her InStyle cover interview last year, Holmes spoke proudly about Suri's "strong" personality, as well as the challenges of raising her amid intense media scrutiny. "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," Holmes said. Holmes has made a point not to talk at length about Cruise in interviews. But in her ELLE UK cover story in December 2019, Holmes spoke a little about how the two grew up together.

"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. 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.

It is thought she has been considering colleges in NYC, meaning that she will still be able to see her mother regularly. Bel and Conor are Tom's adopted children with his former wife Nicole Kidman. Although the teen has distanced herself from her dad, she is seemingly getting into the family business. Despite being raised in the public eye — even appearing on Vanity Fair as an infant — Holmes has since shielded her daughter from the spotlight. Ali is a journalist for LADbible Group, writing on all things film, music, and entertainment across Tyla, LADbible and UNILAD.

"To live for a moment in time without the pressure of results and instead appreciate the natural rhythms of mother and daughter was the most precious gift." "I was happy to become a mum in my twenties," said the actress, who gave birth to Suri when she was 27 years old. "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." 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.

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 yet another sign time goes by way too fast, Katie Holmes' daughter Suri Cruise is one year away from her sweet sixteen now.
