What do you mean it ’s not 2006 any longer ?
Tom CruiseandKatie Holmes' daughterSuri Cruiseis off to college, and I’m off to the store for a new box of Kleenex.
It seems like yesterday that TV starlet Katie and action star Tomhad a baby. It was 2006, and Tom reprised his role inMission: Impossible 3,and I had just graduated from high school.
It was the days of Tom jumping up and down on Oprah’s couch, and life was simpler.
Now, Tom and Katie are no longer together,Oprahno longer has a couch on TV, and that baby on the way has graduated from high school.
In a now private TikTokvideoshared to a classmate’s account on May 20, Suri hinted at her future college plans with “commitment day.”
The 18-year-old graduate was overwhelmed with joy as she seemingly announced which university she would attend.
The TikTok video was captioned “LaG commitment day.” Suri and classmates wore sweatshirts announcing where they planned to go to college, and Miley Cyrus’s “I’ll Always Remember You” fromHannah Montanaplayed in the background.
If you are aDawson’s CreekorRisky Businessfan like me, just know that Joey Potter and Joel Goodsen’s baby is their age and will be off to college soon.
Overall, Suri remains out of the spotlight, but in an April 2023Glamourinterview, her mom said she does love working with her daughter when she has the chance.
“I hope she always does something on my films,” Katie said, talking about Suri’s involvement in her filmsAlone Together(2022) andRare Objects(2023). “I always ask her. But both of those experiences came out of the same sense of what I love about our industry, which is, you have these projects and you become a family with people. And it’s this safe, beautiful, creative space.” Suri sang vocals in the opening credits ofAlone Togetherand provided vocals for theRare Objects.
But aside from behind-the-scenes collaborations with Mom, Katie is balancing how much to “protect” Suri from the spotlight.
Congratulations, Suri!
Even though you ’re prompt me , fourth dimension is flying by .
