What Happened Between Tom Cruise And Suri?
Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise were married for five long years before they got divorced. Their only daughter Suri also got involved in the messy divorce.

Katie Holmes got sole custody of Suri and Tom Cruise agreed to pay $400,000 a month for his daughter’s expenses till she turns 18. Cruise also pays for Suri’s “medical, dental, insurance, education, college and other extracurricular costs.”

Did Suri Ever Want To Meet Her Father?
Having no contact with her father since the age of five, Suri has no interest in knowing Tom Cruise. A source even revealed, “Suri does not know her father anymore and she has not spent time with him in a decade. She does not go to see his movies and he has no part in her life.”
Now that Suri is applying to colleges, she is looking forward to studying fashion at Fordham University in The Bronx, New York. However, her father has no part in this either. Katie plays a strong role in her daughter’s life.
At the time of their divorce, Katie filed the documents citing ‘irreconcilable differences‘. But Cruise had no idea of this and did not see this coming. There is one other factor surrounding their divorce. Tom Cruise is a devoted follower of the Church of Scientology. And reportedly, Katie Holmes refused to join the church. This also played a factor in their divorce.
