As of this writing, it's unclear if Suri has planned a bigger celebration, but her wholesome outing with a friend has us praising Katie Holmes for her down-to-earth parenting skills. (It’s not what I wanted to hear!) But somehow the little girl above — who was so famed in infancy — is about to turn 18 on April 18! Ahead of her milestone birthday, the notoriously private teen was spotted in New York City. And we have to wonder if this rare public outing was part of some birthday celebrations with the friends she met up with.

Suri Cruise Is All Grown Up After 18th Birthday as She Steps Out With Mom Katie Holmes in NYC

In March, the Daily Mail reported that she is “applying to schools all over the place.” But her mom Katie reportedly wants 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 said. Last year, we celebrated Molly’s 4th birthday on a cruise and I turned another year older while sailing on the Carnival Breeze. And in recent years, birthdays have also meant traveling for our family – in particular, cruises. The teen looked so joyful walking around SoHo in New York with her friends, reveling in one of the first sunny days of spring.

It is rumoured Cruise’s Church of Scientology prohibits him from seeing “non-believers”, which includes Suri and Holmes. Holmes’ choice to leave the faith is reportedly part of the reason behind the pair’s divorce. As of April 2024, Suri Cruise is still living mostly away from the spotlight. However, with an apparent knack for singing, it seems Suri may one day make a return.

Suri is thought to have celebrated more over the weekend with her mom, while Tom was pictured in London at another milestone birthday party. Holmes is relatively private when it comes to offering glimpses of her daughter on social media (and rarely shows her face), but seems to make exceptions for her birthday. Holmes is known to be intensely private about her personal life, especially when it comes to her daughter. But in 2019 for ELLE UK's December cover story, she opened up about how the pair "grew up together."

As the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown continued, Holmes wrote a piece for Vogue Australia's November issue, explaining that the unusual year allowed for more introspection and quality time with her daughter. She later posted another image, which showed Suri from behind, donning a pink-and-white floral crown. As for Suri's dad, Tom Cruise, he most certainly won't be joining in on the birthday fun for a couple reasons. Despite the dreary weather, Suri didn't let a little rain wash out her big day ... She happily chatted away with her pal while under the shelter of her pink umbrella.

On April 18, Suri Cruise celebrated her 18th birthday, officially stepping into adulthood. While many other teens are eager to have big parties or gatherings for this milestone occasion, the young talent opted to ring in the special day with one of her friends. In a photo obtained by Backgrid, Suri and her unidentified companion are shown walking the streets of New York City with what appear to be presents. The youngest Cruise was also dressed in a stylish and laid-back denim-on-denim ensemble reminiscent of '90s fashion.

With French toast covered in cereal, colorful pancakes and meeting the characters from the books, this special breakfast is always a big hit with my girls. From cakes to special gifts to decorating your stateroom – there’s nothing better than sailing the seas for your special day. Back in March, Page Six reported that the “Top Gun” actor, who is involved with Scientology, hasn’t seen his daughter in years and has almost zero part of her life. “What has been really important for me with my daughter, because she was so visible at a young age, is I really like to protect her,” she told Glamour at the time.

As for Katie, she chose a pair of dark denim jeans with a green long-sleeved shirt for the outing. According to the Daily Mail, Suri is reportedly applying for college to study fashion. The high-profile relationship of her parents Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes made Suri’s birth in April 2006 one of the most publicised celebrity events of the entire noughties. And speaking of Dr. Seuss – the Green Eggs and Ham Breakfast with The Cat in the Hat and Friends is a fun way to celebrate a birthday.

"As challenging as things have become for him and his daughter, he still loves her," the insider said. In the photo of Suri Cruise on her birthday, the freshly minted 18-year-old is a carbon copy of her mom, Katie Holmes. While walking down the street with her friend, she looked low-key and casual, wearing jeans with an oversized denim jacket and some celebratory pops of pink. She and her friend both appeared to be carrying birthday gifts in hand as they smiled for the camera. Suri showed off just how caring she is, sharing her slightly-too-small pink umbrella with her pal. "Hobbies such as sewing, painting and writing became new hallmarks of satisfaction and having had time at home to just be," Holmes wrote at the time.

She was spotted out and about in the Big Apple on Wednesday, clutching a charming bouquet of pink carnation flowers. Sporting an all-denim look, Suri appeared to be gearing up for her big birthday celebrations, miles away from her father Tom Cruise. Up until now, she was legally a minor, and Katie preferred to keep her daughter away from the spotlight. However, the Coda actress shared a rare childhood picture of Suri to her Instagram in May 2021 in honor of Mother’s Day at the time.

Suri has been thinking about her future which could include going to a fashion college in New York. But, more importantly, the father and daughter reportedly haven't had a close relationship since 2012. Suri had a gift bag in hand during her walk around town, suggesting the celebrations were already underway. It remains to be seen if there will be any larger festivities later -- she leads a pretty low-key lifestyle -- but ya gotta figure her mom Katie Holmes has something planned for such a big birthday. Back in 2006, pop culture enthusiasts were first introduced to the only child between the "Dawson's Creek" star and Tom Cruise.

The former Dawson’s Creek star previously opened up about being a famous parent to a young child during a 2017 interview with Town & Country. While noting that this “business is so unstable, and you never really know where you’re going to be,” Katie explained how she made sure to protect Suri’s childhood.
