Katie Holmes Talks Openly About Hiding Suri From the Public

Suri Cruise has been raised in the shadows by Katie Holmes among movie premieres and picture shoots. Since 2006, Holmes has tried to protect her 16-year-old daughter’s privacy, something that is not always possible for the offspring of famous people. However, the happy mother made some unusual comments about parenting, working with Suri on movies, and attempting to keep her daughter out of the spotlight as much as possible in her April/May 2023 Glamour cover story.

Because she was so well-known at such a young age, it has been crucial for me to safeguard my daughter, according to Holmes, who has a daughter with her ex-husband Tom Cruise. “I’m incredibly thankful to be her father and to be a dad. She is extraordinary.

Suri was frequently photographed with her parents when she was a young girl. To avoid the photographers, she would sometimes cover her face with her hair. Except for a few interesting things Holmes has provided throughout the years, not much is currently known about the 16-year-old.

In a 2017 interview with Town & Country, Holmes stated that her daughter’s stability was her first goal. You never truly know where you’re going to go in this profession since it is so unstable. My child is the most significant person in my life, and raising her is currently the most essential aspect of my career, she said.

“It’s crucial that I’m here that she enjoys a secure, happy childhood. There is nothing better in the world than what I do, which makes me feel so blessedWhile Holmes has made a concerted effort to keep her daughter’s life private, that hasn’t stopped the teenager from following in her mum’s footsteps and exploring the entertainment industry. In 2022, Suri sang the opening credits for Holmes’s film “Alone Together.” Last year, she also sang on the soundtrack for Holmes’s film “Rare Objects.”

“I hope she always does something on my films. I always ask her,” Holmes told Glamour. “But both of those experiences came out of the same sense of what I love about our industry, which is, you have these projects and you become a family with people. And it’s this safe, beautiful, creative space. So it comes out of love for me to include someone who I love dearly. That’s how I like to work. I like to have that kind of feeling. It was very meaningful to me to have her there, because she’s my heart.”

In March, Holmes also shared that Suri joined her in a rewatch of “Dawson’s Creek,” in which Holmes famously played Joey Potter. “During the pandemic, we had a good laugh about it,” she told Variety. “It’s wild to have a daughter who’s almost the same age as I was when I began all this.”
