On August 5, Suri Cruise, daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, was seen visibly upset while walking through the streets of Brooklyn, New York. The 18-year-old was photographed by paparazzi with her hands on her head, shedding tears after hanging up a phone call. The details of who she was speaking to or the reason for her tears remain unknown, but sources close to her hint it may be linked to relationship difficulties.
Possible Relationship Strain with Boyfriend Toby Cohen
Suri may be facing relationship troubles with her boyfriend, Toby Cohen. The source revealed, “The two haven’t been able to see each other recently, and Suri is navigating a challenging time in her relationship.” This speculation follows paparazzi photos taken on June 27, which captured the young couple in an affectionate moment, enjoying their time together in public.
Just a month before this incident, news broke that Suri had entered a relationship with Toby Cohen, a high school friend, sparking media buzz. The pair made their romance public during the LaGuardia High School prom in New York, where they didn’t shy away from paparazzi, openly displaying affection. As the summer unfolded, Suri and Toby took advantage of their time together before both set off to universities in different states—Suri enrolled at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she’s pursuing studies in fashion, while Toby chose Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts.
A Life Shaped by Distance from Father, Tom Cruise
Despite her famous parentage, Suri has remained estranged from her father, Tom Cruise, for over a decade. The last recorded meeting between the two was in 2013, just one year after Tom and Katie’s high-profile divorce in 2012, which ended their six-year marriage. Since then, Suri has primarily been raised by her mother, Katie Holmes, who has openly shared her dedication to her daughter’s growth and well-being.
This June, during her high school graduation, Suri made headlines by officially using the name “Suri Noelle,” dropping her father’s last name. This decision was partly to honor her mother, symbolized by adopting her middle name. The shift further highlights her independence and close bond with her mother, who has often spoken about Suri’s emerging sense of self.
Katie Holmes on Suri’s Growing Sense of Style
In a rare interview, Katie Holmes praised Suri’s distinctive sense of style, saying, “She has her own fashion flair.” Holmes also shared a humorous detail about her daughter occasionally sneaking into her closet for inspiration. This lighthearted comment gives a glimpse into their close-knit relationship, as Suri begins to find her own voice both in her personal life and her fashion choices.
While Suri’s relationship with Toby Cohen and the reasons behind her public tears remain under speculation, her journey into adulthood—marked by a strong sense of independence and a mother-daughter bond—continues to capture public attention. As Suri embarks on her college journey, fans and media alike will likely continue to follow her path and personal growth with interest.
