According to sources, Tom Cruise and his daughter Suri Cruise are still not talking to each other. The actor, who is 61 years old and famous for movies like Mission: Impossible, hasn’t been in touch with his 17-year-old daughter for a long time. The Daily Mail reported this.
Suri Cruise is Tom’s daughter from his previous relationship with actress Katie Holmes. She was born in April 2006.
After Tom and Katie split up in 2011, their relationship got worse over time. In 2012, during a lawsuit against Bauer Media, Tom said he hadn’t seen Suri for three months right after he and Katie separated. Katie Holmes is now 45 years old.

During a legal case where Tom Cruise was being sued for $50 million, he admitted that his involvement with Scientology caused problems in his relationship with his daughter, Suri. When asked if Katie Holmes left him to protect Suri from Scientology, Tom said he believed that was true.
The rules of the Church of Scientology say members shouldn’t be friends with people who aren’t part of the church. This caused tension between Tom and his daughter, according to the Daily Mail.
