Katie Holmes ' 16-year-old daughter Suri has already started applying to colleges with the help of her mother - but the teen's famous father Tom Cruise won't have a hand in helping her, because the actor 'has no part' in his child's life. 

A source close to Katie, 44, tells DailyMail.com exclusively that Suri, who turns 17 next month, 'has sent some applications out' and is 'leaning towards' studying fashion in New York City - a choice that would make her style-savvy mother Katie very pleased. 

'Suri is applying to schools all over the place. [Katie] really does want her to stay in New York so they can be close to each other. Katie takes great pride in her but is also extremely overprotective,' the insider shared, adding that Katie is 'overwhelmed' by the idea of her daughter going off to college. 

While Katie is taking an active role in helping her daughter with college applications, the teen's father, Mission Impossible star Tom, 60, will not play a role in the process - having been estranged from his daughter since 2013, one year after he and Katie divorced.  

Katie Holmes' daughter Suri (seen in 2022), 16, has already started applying to colleges - and is leaning towards studying fashion in New York City, a source has revealed to DailyMail.com  

However Suri's father, famed actor Tom Cruise (seen together in 2012), 60, won't play a role in helping his daughter choose a college because the pair 'do not have a relationship'  

At the time of their split, it was reported that Katie had chosen to end the couple's marriage over fears about raising her daughter as a Scientologist - a religion that Tom is incredibly dedicated to. 

Her decision to quit the religion, as well as the marriage, caused a major rift between the former spouses, which has seen Tom and Suri's relationship become increasingly distant over the years. 

The insider explained that Tom does 'not have a part in [Suri's] life' - after it was previously revealed that the pair have not seen each other in years.  

However, the source notes that - while Tom won't have a hand in helping Suri choose where she goes to school - he will pay her college tuition costs, per his ultra-secret divorce agreement with his actress ex.  

According to their divorce documents, Tom agreed to pay Katie $400,000 a year until Suri turned 18 years old . 

The documents also state that Tom agreed to pay all of Suri's expenses, including 'medical, dental, insurance, education, college and other extracurricular costs.'

'Tom has always maintained his responsibilities when it comes to financial obligations to Katie and Suri,' the source told DailyMail.com. 

However, the Mission Impossible actor has not maintained a presence in Suri's life. 

'Suri does not know her father anymore and she has not spent time with him in a decade,' the insider said of the teen's relationship with her dad (seen with Katie in 2006)

Katie is eager for her daughter (seen in 2019) to attend college in New York - the city where she has been raised - so that the pair can remain close, the source added  

Katie was awarded full custody of Suri after she divorced Tom after six years of marriage in 2012 and the pair have an incredibly close bond (seen in 2018)

DailyMail.com has reached out to Tom's spokesperson for comment.  

According to another insider, Katie has not let Tom's decision to not see Suri affect her upbringing. 

'Being raised by a single mom in New York has made Suri who she is.  Katie has always put Suri first and Suri loves her mom more than anything,' the source tells DailyMail.com.

'She is a smart girl, and she is turning into a very intelligent mature woman. She has a very close group of loyal friends, and she knows exactly where she comes from.'

Aside from her love for fashion, Suri - whose wardrobe is reportedly worth $5 million - has also displayed her talent for music, which she may also study while at college. 

Last year, a trailer for a rom-com starring and directed by Katie, Alone Together, featured Suri singing Blue Moon on the soundtrack, as her mother praised her daughter as 'the best'.       

Katie spoke to Yahoo Entertainment about her decision to have Suri sing the two songs, telling the outlet, 'I always want the highest level of talent.'

'So I asked her.  She's very, very talented. She said she would do it and she recorded it, and I let her do her thing,' Katie gushed. 

Katie also said that she had hired Suri to sing in another film she directed called Rare Objects.

When Suri was just four years old, Katie told Elle that her daughter would often comment on her clothes. 

'Today I’m wearing brown suede pants, and she said, "I don’t like your pants." But then she’ll say, "You’ve got to wear these shoes." Or, "That’s so pretty, Mom. Wear that." She’s got a great eye.'

During an interview with InStyle in 2020, Katie said that Suri, 'came out very strong -  she's always been a strong personality.'

Tom famously jumped on Oprah's couch in excitement over his relationship with Katie in 2005 (seen) - but the marriage reportedly soured over his devotion to Scientology  

'She'll pick an activity and work her butt off until she's really good at it. Then she's like, OK, I'm going to try the next thing. She's very focused and a hard worker.'  

Tom has not seen Suri in over 10 years, yet he does have a close relationship with the two children he shares with Nicole Kidman, Isabella, 30, and Connor, 28. 

Nicole, on the other hand - who filed for divorce after 11 years of marriage in 2001 due to Tom's Scientology ties - has not spoken to Tom in nearly 20 years.  

In 2019, author Samantha Domingo told Us Weekly that Tom was not allowed to have a relationship with Suri because she is not a Scientologist.

She told the outlet that the reason was due to the Church's belief in reincarnation, they would not view Suri as Tom's daughter. 

The acclaimed author added that, instead, they view Suri as a 'spiritual being in Tom's daughter's body.'

Tom disagreed that his religion caused him to be estranged from Suri.  

 In 2013, Tom sued In Touch magazine for $50 million when the outlet reported that he 'abandoned' his daughter. 

When the case played out in court, Tom said that he was not able to see Suri due to his busy work schedule. 

He told the court that he did not see Suri for 100 days because he was filming a movie overseas called All You Need is Kill in London. 

'Unfortunately in this situation it was impossible,' he told the court, according to People. He added that, far from abandoning his daughter, he called her every day - 

 'You have to work at it. I’ve gotten very good at it. I tell wonderful stories,' Tom told the court.

Tom and Katie were one of the most iconic couples of the early 2000's. After dating for one year, they were married in a lavish ceremony in Italy in November 2006. 

The Dawson's Creek actress filed for divorce from him six years later, citing irreconcilable differences. 

In an interview with  German TV network ProSieben, Tom said that he 'didn't expect' Katie to end their marriage.

'Life is a tragicomedy. You need to have a sense of humor,' he said during the interview.

Why Tom Cruise Will Be Paying For Suri's College Education Despite Having No Part In Her Life

It's no secret that Tom Cruise has little involvement in his daughter Suri's life. After his split from Katie Holmes in 2012, the actor didn't receive custody of his and Holmes' child. She claimed that divorce was a measure of protection, keeping Suri safe from Cruise's religion. At the end of their custody discussions, which lasted less than two weeks, the "Mission Impossible" star was awarded just 10 visitation days. Though there were some odd stipulations in their quickie divorce, Cruise didn't press the custody agreement, and since that time, he has been estranged from Suri by all accounts.

That doesn't excuse him from having to pay for her expenses, though. Initially, the agreed-upon deal stated that Cruise had to pay around $4.8 million in child support. It equates to about $400,000 annually and can be further broken down to just over $33,000 each month, according to TMZ . Considering he is worth more than half a billion, Cruise could have been ordered to pay much more — especially under New York law had the couple not wanted to settle expeditiously.

Fortunately, though the agreement specified payments would be made until Suri is 18, they also included the clause that he pays for all of her college education — which is right around the corner for teenage Suri.

Tom is only involved financially

Katie Holmes has a great relationship with her daughter Suri and just may be in the thick of helping her with college applications. Still, neither she nor Suri need any input from Tom Cruise — unless it's in dollars and cents. As far as we know, Cruise has not yet defaulted on his responsibilities in terms of financially supporting his daughter, so it's unlikely that the actor will fail to pay for her college education. It could cost him, though, especially if she gets into her top choices.

According to the Daily Mail , Suri is interested in possibly studying fashion at one of New York's premier schools. She has applied "all over the place," including institutions outside of NYC, but their source maintained that The Big Apple is where Holmes would prefer her daughter to stay for her schooling, as it is where the pair currently reside. Fashion school alone generally comes with a tuition tag of anywhere from a few thousand dollars to nearly $40,000.

Katie Holmes turned down her acceptance to Columbia University, but should Suri choose to go to her mom's alma mater (in a manner of speaking), Cruise would have to shell out even more — closer to $70,000. But thanks to his endeavors in Hollywood, most notably his long-running role in the "Mission Impossible" franchise, we're guessing tuition will basically be pennies to Cruise.

Will Katie have to contribute?

Tom Cruise's monthly child support payments are reported to total just over $33,000. That might be a drop in the bucket for him, but it surely comes in handy for Katie Holmes and Suri. The "Dawson's Creek" actor isn't destitute by any means, but still, Hollywood has seen much less of her over the years than it has of her ex-husband. For the most part, Holmes has stepped back from acting in both movies and television. More recently, she has taken to writing, directing, and producing films, such as her 2023 adaptation of the novel "Rare Objects." These days, she has also moved her talents to the stage, starring in the play "The Wanderers" in 2023.

The "Batman Begins" actor has also held several guest roles and agreed to numerous endorsement deals. We've seen her campaign for everything from Coach to Olay. Additionally, Holmes wasn't only the ambassador for Alterna Hair Care from 2013 to 2017, but was co-owner, too.

Holmes has sold some of her real estate, like her Los Angeles home in the star-studded region of Calabasas. She prefers to live in New York City with her daughter Suri, where they can enjoy the museums and theaters. Despite her business endeavors and property holdings, her net worth is estimated to be less than 5% of Cruise's, $25 million to his $600 million , making it probable that the doting mother won't have to pay up for Suri's New York fashion college tuition. We'd like to think she can have her cake and eat it, too!

Tom Cruise Agrees To Pay For Suri’s College, Medical Expenses After Age 18

Posted: October 5, 2023 | Last updated: October 5, 2023

• Tom Cruise has agreed to continue covering his daughter Suri's expenses, including health and college, even after she turns 18.
• Despite not having seen Suri for over a decade, Tom has been paying $33,000 per month in child support.
• Tom's net worth of $600 million explains why he is willing to take on the financial obligations of paying for Suri's college.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ daughter Suri is nearly 18-years old, which in many cases means that child support payments end. But it appears the actor has already agreed to cover Suri’s expenses beyond her legal birthday, including those related to health and college.

When Tom and Katie split in 2023, it only took them weeks to finalize a divorce settlement and custody arrangement, which seemed to give the Dawson’s Creek actress primary custody of their daughter. Tom allegedly hasn’t seen Suri in over a decade following the divorce.

Nonetheless, he’s been paying a reported $33,000 per month in child support (equalling around $400,000 per year).

But their divorce and custody settlement apparently also requires Tom to pay for their daughter’s beyond her 18th birthday, including those related to health and education.

Suri is expected to start college sometime next year when she turns 18 in April. There have been reports that the teen wants to study fashion in New York, where she resides with her mother. Tom will reportedly have no say in where she attends, despite having to foot the tuition bill.

Tom has a significantly larger fortune that his ex-wife, explaining why he was likely so ready to take on the financial obligations of paying for Suri’s college. Tom Cruise’s net worth is reportedly $600 million , while Katie Holmes’ net worth is approximately $25 million .

Tom and Suri allegedly have no contact, though he financially supports his daughter. However, that may change, as it’s been reported that Tom may be distancing himself from the Church of Scientology .

It's been speculated that Tom’s religion played a part in his divorce from Katie. Rumors suggest she may have agreed to stay silent about what she knows of the mysterious religion in exchange for Tom providing for their daughter while agreeing to be a minimal influence in her life. To this day, Katie has never publicly discussed her marriage to Tom nor her involvement in Scientology. She’s reportedly been raising Suri Catholic , even sending her to a private school.

Tom has two older children, Isabella and Connor, with his other ex-wife Nicole Kidman, who has also been hesitant to speak on Scientology. Their children remain active members of the church, with Isabella even promoted to an Auditor in 2019 . The graphic designer credits the controversial religion for saving her life.

So far, Tom has not responded to rumors about him quitting Scientology or where his relationship stands with his youngest daughter.

The NYC Private School Suri Cruise Reportedly Attends (& It Isn't Cheap)

Suri Cruise, the daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, became one of the world's most famous children, thanks in large part to who her parents were. However, it was also because there were so many rumors and tales surrounding her birth and upbringing. Because of Tom's relationship with Scientology, there were rumors that Holmes had to give birth in total silence . It was because of this mythology that the world became fascinated by Suri and the kind of life she would lead .

After Tom and Holmes split in 2012, Holmes essentially raised Suri alone, with Cruise reportedly distancing himself from them. In 2014, Holmes spoke to People about the difficulties of working as a single mom. "Am I enough? Am I doing enough? Have I seen her enough?" Holmes said. "Guess what? You're not enough, she hasn't seen you enough, you're horrible: That's how it can feel sometimes."

But Holmes has certainly made the best of it and raised Suri in New York City with as much privacy as possible. Part of this New York City life included Suri's schooling, a choice that had to be made carefully, factoring in her privacy and security. So Holmes ended up picking an exclusive private school for her daughter's education.

Suri Cruise attends Avenues in Manhattan

Katie Holmes enrolled her daughter Suri Cruise in Manhattan's Avenues The World School, a private school in Chelsea. Up until the age of six, Suri was homeschooled, but Holmes later made the decision to enroll her daughter in the elite New York City school in 2012. Initially, there were rumors that Holmes was going to send Suri to the Convent of the Sacred Heart Catholic School in New York, but the news later broke that they had chosen Avenues. 

Welcoming children from nursery through 12th grade, the private school has some steep tuition.  E! News reported in 2012, at the time of Suri's enrollment, the tuition was approximately $40,000 a year plus an additional $2,000 for fees and technology. As of the 2023-24 school year, the tuition at Avenues was $65,850 a year, according to their website . 

Part of Avenues' culture is that students are required to wear uniforms. When she first enrolled, Suri was photographed on a New York sidewalk walking with her mother in her kilt, polo shirt, and knee-high socks, per Us Weekly . The uniform was actually a plus for Holmes, as she didn't want Suri to stand out from her classmates. "She wants Suri to fit in and be more of a normal kid," a source told Us Weekly of Holmes' decision. A uniform would definitely help her blend in with her class.

Suri Cruise is looking at colleges already

It's amazing how quickly kids grow up. While Suri Cruise got to attend Avenues The World School in New York City, the Daily Mail reported in March 2023 that she was getting ready for college. Suri reportedly has her heart set on fashion school and Tom Cruise is going to pay for her tuition, even though he's been estranged from his daughter for a long time. The payment requirement was stipulated in Cruise's divorce settlement with Katie Holmes. However, Cruise has no say in where Suri attends college.

"Suri is applying to schools all over the place," an insider told the Mail. "[Katie] really does want her to stay in New York so they can be close to each other. Katie takes great pride in her but is also extremely overprotective." The source added that. Holmes is reportedly feeling overwhelmed by this next step in Suri's life. So it's the end of an era for Suri, as she readies for this next phase of her academic life. Plus, fashion school would be a great chance for creativity after all those uniforms at Avenues!

When it comes to famous celebrity kids, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’s daughter Suri has made her mark in more ways than one. Currently living in NYC with mom Holmes, Suri has been a subject of fascination since the moment she was born — but then again, that’s what happens when you’re the kid of Tom Cruise. When Cruise and Holmes had a dramatic split in 2012, Suri’s life was changed forever as she and Holmes moved across the country and severed ties with Cruise. Facing more paparazzi attention than ever, Suri’s formative years were undeniably tough — but all the while, she’s grown up beautifully from a fashionista toddler to a mature, accomplished teen.

Cruise and Holmes’ relationship (and subsequently, Suri) got as much attention as it did largely because of Cruise’s association with the Church of Scientology, whose influence Holmes was reportedly trying to escape when she filed for divorce. But Holmes fleeing to the East Coast only intensified the paparazzi attention around them, and Suri’s mom knows it can’t have been easy for her daughter .

“We were followed a lot when she was little,” Holmes previously told Instyle . “I just wanted her outside, so I would walk her around to find parks at, like, 6 in the morning when nobody would see us.”

While all that attention might have made some kids want to run and hide, Suri embraced it, waving at the paparazzi cheekily and marching to the beat of her own drum. “She came out very strong —  she’s always been a strong personality,” Holmes added.

Now, Suri is soon about to enter the world of college and looking more like mom Holmes every day. Here are a few things you should know about this remarkable young lady.

A version of this was originally published in April 2020.

Her Name Has a Special Meaning

Suri means “Princess” in Hebrew — a fitting name for this rising star.

She’s Studied Ballet & Guitar

Suri Cruise has been taking ballet her whole life, and dad Tom used to drop her off at dance lessons. She also briefly studied guitar, but dropped the classes over conflict with the teacher.

She Went to Private School Avenues in Manhattan

Avenues is an elite private school in Manhattan where Holmes enrolled her daughter. Tuition costs $56,000 per year.

Her Shoe Collection As a Kid Was Worth $150,000

Suri’s wardrobe in her early years was a thing of legend, with all the wealth of Cruise and Holmes behind her. She was once named “Hollywood’s Hottest Tot” because of how frequently her style was mentioned in the news, and reportedly had a wardrobe worth $3.2 million — $150,000 just in shoes.

She Loves Broadway Shows

One perk of having moved to the East Coast? Suri has all the access she wants to her favorite broadway shows, and thanks to mom Holmes, can usually get backstage too. So far, she’s seen Finding Neverland, Cats, School of Rock, Kinky Boots, Dear Evan Hansen, and more.

She Lived With Dad Tom Cruise Until She Was 6 Years Old

Suri lived with her mom and dad until she was six years old, arriving six months before their Nov. 2006 wedding. When Holmes filed for divorce in 2012, she was awarded primary custody of Suri with visitation rights granted to Cruise, and she’s lived with her mom ever since.

She’s Almost As Tall As Mom Now

While we may still picture Suri like this at times, there’s no denying the teen is growing up! On a recent shopping trip in NYC, Suri and mom Holmes were spotted side by side (see Daily Mail photos here ), and Suri looks just a few inches away from her mom’s 5’9″ frame .

She’s A Big Animal Lover

In early 2022, Suri adopted an adorable puppy. She’s been seen walking the little pup around, looking as happy as can be.

She Adores Fashion

Per DailyMail , Suri has a wardrobe reportedly worth $5 million, further showing her love for fashion.

She Has Musical Talents

For the past few years, Suri has hinted at her affinity for music. In fact, for the film Katie directed called  Alone Together,  Suri sang “Blue Moon” on the soundtrack, and she’s considering majoring in music in college, per DailyMail .
