This agreement also includes covering additional expenses such as medical, dental, insurance, and educational costs, as well as college fees and extracurricular activities.

Born in 1962, Tom Cruise has earned the nickname “the ageless man” in Hollywood, thanks to his youthful appearance, which has hardly changed over the years.

Suri Cruise: From Hollywood Princess to Private Life
Born in 2006, Suri Cruise was once dubbed “the princess of designer brands” due to her lavish childhood. However, as she has grown older, Suri has embraced a simpler lifestyle. After her parents’ divorce, she has led a largely private life, shielded from the media spotlight by her mother, Katie Holmes.
One key reason for Suri’s private upbringing is to keep her away from Scientology, the controversial religion Tom Cruise is deeply involved with. Suri is said to have distanced herself from her father, and reports suggest that she has even dropped his last name, using her mother’s middle name instead. Whether she uses “Suri Noelle” as a stage name or if it’s her real name remains unclear, but this change has attracted public attention.
