Katie Holmes and her daughter Suri Cruise have a huge reason to celebrate today (April 18) as the teen turns 17.
Fans will no doubt be amazed at how fast time has flown as Suri will officially enter adulthood next year.
The Alone Together actress has a close bond with Suri, while her famous father, Tom Cruise, is reportedly estranged from his daughter.
Katie is yet to acknowledge Suri's birthday on social media, but will likely be celebrating behind closed doors as she strives to protect her privacy.
While the mother-daughter duo have cause for a party, it seems unlikely Tom - who is busy filming Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two - will reconnect with her after all these years.

That doesn't mean that Suri hasn't inherited any of her dad's talents though. It appears she is following in the footsteps of both of her parents - whose first date was April 18 2005, one year before Suri was born - and stepping into the limelight.

She also featured in her mom's previous directorial, Alone Together, and she sounded just like Katie. Suri sang "Blue Moon" in the opening credits for the film, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2022, and was mentioned in the dedication once again at the end.
