Tom Cruise 'Has Chosen Not To See' Daughter Suri For The Last 11 Years: Report
Tom Cruise has no relationship with his daughter with ex-wife Katie Holmes, Suri, according to a source.
Cruise, 62, and Holmes, 45, separated in 2012. Suri was only 6 at the time. The "Jack Reacher" star has supported her financially, but the father and daughter reportedly don't talk, and it's Cruise who allegedly cut his daughter, Suri, completely out of his life. He didn't even attend her graduation and was spotted enjoying Taylor Swift's concert after missing the event.
"The truth is," an unnamed source told In Touch, adding, "for the last 11 years, Tom has chosen not to see Suri."
"It was entirely Tom's decision not to see Suri," the source added.
Enstarz could not independently verify the claim.

Suri turned 18 in April, and she decided to drop her father's last name on a casting sheet for her school's theater production of "Head Over Heels." Instead, she went by the name Suri Noelle. Noelle is Holmes' middle name.
The "Mission Impossible" star hasn't been photographed with his daughter for years. Sources blamed his religion for his strained relationship with his daughter.
"Tom has proven over and over again that his No. 1 loyalty is to [his religion] and David Miscavige," Tony Ortega, an expert on Tom's faith, claimed to In Touch. "It became more and more obvious Tom had completely cut Suri out of his life. And frankly, Suri may be better off for it."
Another source who spoke with the Daily Mail claimed that Suri also had no intention of communicating with her dad for future financial assistance.
"Suri will not have any contact with her father, despite being 18, and even if he called, she would not answer," the source told the outlet. "He does not exist to Katie or Suri, and his daughter does not want to rely on him for anything. She feels that she has one parent and that is her mother."
Suri's close relationship with her mom is evident. The "Dawson's Creek" alum was present at her graduation and other milestones in her life. Also, the "Batman Begins" actress has spoken fondly about her daughter and motherhood through the years.
"My main goal is to just let her know how much I love her," Holmes told People in 2014. "Just to let her know that she is so loved. When that's the through line, who cares that my first two pancakes are always burned?"
She added, "The most important thing for me is letting her know how proud I am and that her accomplishments mean everything. Whatever I do is whatever. It's really just about her and that's what I think is most important."
