For over a decade, Tom Cruise has pushed the narrative that he cannot see and spend time with his youngest daughter, Suri Cruise, whom he shares with actress Katie Holmes.
According to the rules of Tom Cruise’s religion — he is a devout and important member of the Church of Scientology — he cannot associate with nonmembers who are deemed as suppressive persons or suppressive groups.
It was believed that Tom Cruise’s decision to adhere to the strict Scientology guidelines made him “disconnect” from some close family members and friends.
In a nutshell, the father cannot bond with his child — the last time they were photographed together was in 2012 when they visited Disneyland.
The narrative seems dishonest because it appears that Tom Cruise can break or bend the rules for other high-profile people, just not for Suri Cruise.
The legendary actor is known to be a people person who gets very cozy with his co-stars – whenever Cruise does a movie, he appears on red carpets and takes part in interviews with his colleagues.
Rumors have swirled that he dated numerous glamorous co-stars who are not members of the Church.
Tom Cruise has also befriended many members of the British royal family. The action star was close to the late Queen Elizabeth II.
He played a role in her Platinum Jubilee Celebrations and had made plans to have tea with her before her passing.
Tom Cruise has amicable relationships with Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton.
It is impossible to forget the photos of the trio arriving at the red carpet premiere of Top Gun: Maverick in London.
At the event, Tom Cruise boasted of his tight connection with the future King of England by saying: “We have a lot in common. We both love England and we’re both aviators, we both love flying.”
Many celebrities have testified to Tom Cruise’s kindness and generosity over the years. He keeps in touch with several of them and sends them a very special Doan’s White Chocolate Coconut Cake every holiday.
While his relationship with David and Victoria Beckham is now nonexistent, the trio once shared a close bond. He welcomed them to Hollywood and spent time with them. Note that the British power couple are non-Scientologists.
Tom Cruise also befriended Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith for many years, and the actors are not Sea Org members.
Sources have revealed to Us Magazine that Tom Cruise has the right as a parent to see his daughter 10 days every month, but for some mysterious reason, he has chosen not to.
So the question remains: why has he chosen to have these friendships and working relationships but refused to see his own daughter?
Will he ever give the real reason why he is disconnected from his child?
