Holmes has primary custody of the precocious teenager from her six-year marriage to Top Gun: Maverick action star Tom Cruise, which ended in 2012.

Worryingly, the 60-year-old Oscar nominee hasn’t been photographed with his youngest son in a decade, despite his custody arrangement allocating “10 days a month for visitation,” according to us weekly.

Some speculate that Tom’s alleged estrangement has to do with Katie and Suri ‘disavowing the Church of Scientology’ and devotees not associating with SPs.
