Suri Cruise

Katie Holmes has provided fans with the rarest of sightings.

Her ex-husband, Tom Cruise, spending time with the former couple's daughter, Suri?

It's been a very, very long time since Tom Cruise last paid a visit to his youngest child.

In fact, some sources claim Tom hasn't seen Suri in over five years.

Tom Cruise is one of the most baffling public figures in history.

He's the poster boy for an organization that's been accused of brainwashing, human trafficking, and using slave labor -- yet somehow, in this post-#MeToo era, he remains one of the most highly-paid stars in Hollywood.

It's been seven years since Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes got divorced.

It may be hard to recollect at this point, but there was a time when TomKat captured the public's imagination as effectively as Brangelina -- and their split came as just as big of a shock.

Hollywood history is filled with whirlwind romances that were followed by abrupt, mysterious breakups.

But you'd be hard-pressed to find a situation more bizarre or enigmatic than the divorce of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

One of the sadder ongoing stories in modern Hollywood is that of Tom Cruise and his non-existent relationship with daughter Suri.

Sources familiar with the situation say Cruise hasn't seen Suri in years.

Tom Cruise doesn't garner many headlines for his movie work these days, but his personal life?

Well, that's a different story entirely...

Katie Holmes was once a high-profile actress whose fame seemed inescapable. A lot has changed over the years.

But what matters most is that she has her daughter, Suri, who is super adorable and the greatest treasure in Katie's life.

Tom Cruise has what appears to be a pretty clear mission in front of him.

But will he choose to accept it?

As far as we know, Tom Cruise hasn't seen his daughter Suri in nearly 5 years. 

Suri is now 11 years old. Unless they've had secret meetings that no one knows about, that's about half of her life.

There is very little about Tom Cruise these days that isn't perplexing.

The weird Scientology stuff, the fact that he's still cast in roles for guys half his age, what's going on with his butt, and his unexplained estrangement from his daughter.

Suri Cruise has reportedly not seen Tom Cruise for years. She's photographed with (and by!) her mom, Katie Holmes, all of the time.

We've talked before about how this is probably part of a long-standing agreement between the parents, and likely for the best.

Though he ranks among the most secretive stars in Hollywood, Tom Cruise has been unable to hide certain unsavory aspects of his private life from public view.

And we're sure it won't come as much of a surprise that many of the skeletons in Cruise's closet are related - directly or otherwise - to his involvement with the Church of Scientology.

This might be for the best, but that doesn't make it any less sad.

We're all familiar with allegations that Tom Cruise hasn't seen his daughter Suri Cruise in years.

Tom Cruise gets a lot of hate for a lot of things.

His movies, his strange behavior, his unwavering allegiance to Scientology.

There was a time when the name Tom Cruise conjured images of a megawatt smile and a stack of phone books to make him appear less Hobbit-like in stature.

These days, of course, when we think of Cruise, we're more likely to imagine the Sea Org members chained up in his basement or the ultra-luxurious spaceship that they're scrambling to finish building in time for the second coming of L. Ron Hubbard.

Forgive our excitement in the headline above.

But we think you'll understand when it comes from in just a few moments...

Katie Holmes has always kept her daughter, Suri Cruise out of the public eye, but she's been surprisingly more open about her of late. 

It's definitely a good idea when you consider how many young stars have very public meltdowns in their later years. 

Suri Cruise hung out with a few loved ones over the weekend.

No, the group did not include her famous father.

According to at least one recent report, Katie Holmes is pregnant with a baby, courtesy of Jaime Foxx.

We cannot verify the accuracy of this claim, however.

According to a controversial report in August, Tom Cruise has not seen his daughter in three years.

Is this really true? We cannot confirm or deny the rumor.

There is nothing cuter than a child snuggling up to their mother, as Suri Cruise has demonstrated.

It's one of those rumors that at first seems too ridiculous to be true.

But as weeks, months, and then years go by without any official denial it becomes impossible to think it's not rooted in some sort of fact.

It was only a matter of time before she decided to go into the family business.
