Introduced to the world on the cover of Vanity Fair in 2006, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' daughter Suri has become one of the most well-known celebrity children.
Following Katie and Tom's divorce in 2012, the 18-year-old has been largely kept out of the spotlight - making a rare few public appearances alongside her mother in the years that followed.
Speaking on her commitment to keeping Suri's life out of the public eye, Katie told Glamour, "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."

While she may not be walking the red carpet, Suri has continued to shine in the entertainment industry as a singer, with Katie revealing that her daughter's vocals featured on the soundtrack of her two most recent films, Alone Together (2022) and Rare Objects (2023).
"I hope she always does something on my films. I always ask her, but both of those experiences came out of the same sense of what I love about our industry... it comes out of love for me to include someone who I love dearly," Katie told Glamour, adding, "It was very meaningful to me to have her there because she's my heart."

Prior to her most recent interview, Katie last commented on parenthood in 2018, telling Modern Luxury,"I think the most important thing in my life is giving my child the childhood I want her to have. That comes first."
"When I'm not on set, I'm being a mum. I'm doing mum stuff. When I go to an event, I leave at 10 pm because it’s really important to me to be a mum that is dependable."
