Suri Cruise – the only biological daughter of actor Tom Cruise just celebrated her 18th birthday on April 18. However, her happy day was overshadowed by the shadow of a broken relationship with her famous father.

Suri did not have her father by her side on her 18th birthday, as well as many years ago since her parents divorced in 2012. According to many sources, the main reason for this separation is because Tom Cruise is a believer. Devotee of Scientology, a controversial cult.

According to former senior member Karen De La Carriere of Scientology, the cult views Suri’s mother Katie Holmes as “The Suppressor” and Suri as a “Potential Source of Trouble”. This means that Tom Cruise is banned from contacting his daughter for violating the sect’s rules.

Tom Cruise’s former bodyguard Brendan Tighe also affirmed this opinion: “Scientology has a policy to prevent bad relationships with cults and Tom Cruise is unlikely to violate it.”

Many fans hope that Tom Cruise will leave Scientology to mend his relationship with his daughter. However, this possibility seems very unlikely as the actor is famous for being devout and holds a high position in the sect.

Besides, it is not feasible for Scientology to easily let go of Tom Cruise because he is a generous source of funding for the subject.

Tom Cruise’s three ex-wives, Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes, kept Tom Cruise’s secret with the Scientology cult a secret after breaking up. Media experts say Kidman and Holmes probably signed non-disclosure agreements when their marriage to the “Top Gun” actor ended.

But such an agreement may not apply to Tom Cruise’s youngest daughter Suri Cruise – from whom he has long chosen to live apart. With Suri turning 18 on April 18, 2024, she and mother Katie Holmes will no longer receive the $400,000 Cruise paid as part of the divorce settlement.

Journalist and Scientology expert Tony Ortega told Page Six , as an adult, Suri Cruise has the freedom to speak out about her father, his father’s beliefs and the conflicts between the two. “Suri was too young to sign any agreement (as her parents divorced in 2012), but now she will be free to talk if she wants and it will be interesting if she has anything that wants to share,” Ortega said.
