Tom Cruise’s Scientologist kids Connor and Isabella ‘don’t exist’ to his daughter Suri Noelle who has cut off ALL contact with them – as insiders reveal the truth behind the siblings’ fractured relationship
Suri Cruise has a “non-existent” relationship with her father Tom Cruise’s children, Connor and Isabella, according to sources who claim she has not responded to their repeated attempts to contact them over the years.
Katie Holmes’ teenage daughter, 45, who now prefers to be known as Suri Noelle, has had a troubled relationship with her Scientologist father, 61, who was not there to celebrate her recent 18th birthday.
Now insiders have revealed that Tom’s banishment from his daughter’s life has also led to estrangement between his adopted children and Suri.
“They haven’t been in touch for 10 years and there are different reasons for that,” a source exclusively revealed to DailyMail.com.
“First of all, there’s the Church of Scientology. Suri’s father and brother have no contact with her because of their devotion to the church, so why would she have a relationship with her siblings?”

Sources tell DailyMail.com that Scientology played a major role in the rift between the 18-year-old and her siblings Connor (left) and Isabella (right).
The insider added that Isabella, 31, and Connor, 29, have felt “left out” at times in the past due to the fact that Suri is Tom’s biological daughter.
“Secondly, there is jealousy between Connor and Isabella when it comes to Suri, because she is Tom’s biological child,” the source continued.
‘They are grateful that they have been adopted, but because they have no contact with their mother, her family, Suri and the rest of the circle, they feel excluded.’
However, that wasn’t always the case, as the insider revealed that Connor was already close with his younger sister before the boundaries were drawn.
The source explained, “Connor tried to have a relationship with Suri because they were close at one point, but their relationship is dead now. He’s not trying anymore. Isabella was never close to Suri.”
While it appears that hope is lost that Suri can reconnect with her father and siblings, some believe that Tom will make an attempt to reach out.
Actress Leah Remini, who has turned her back on Scientology, warns Katie to be on her guard, saying, “I’m sure [Cruise’s] “The master plan is to wait until Suri is older so he can lure her into Scientology and take her away from her mother.”
Time will tell if the couple can ever reconcile, after the father-daughter relationship first hit the rocks in 2012.

When Suri turned 18, DailyMail.com learned that the aspiring fashion designer had no plans to approach her father. A source said at the time: ‘To her, Tom doesn’t exist.’
The insider explained: ‘Suri doesn’t want any contact with her father, despite being 18. And even if he called, she wouldn’t pick up.
“He doesn’t exist for Katie or Suri, and his daughter won’t rely on him for anything. She feels like she has one parent and that’s her mother.”
Now that she is 18, all ties with Tom have been severed, as he no longer has to pay Katie child support, which previously amounted to a reported $400,000 a year.
Tom, on the other hand, has a close bond with Connor and Isabella, whom he adopted during his marriage to ex-wife Nicole Kidman in the 1990s.
It was previously reported that despite being awarded joint custody of the children in their 2001 divorce settlement, the former couple ultimately chose to live with their father.
They continued to grow up in the controversial Church of Scientology, which Nicole no longer attended after divorcing the Mission Impossible star.
The duo’s close bond with Tom is said to have led to a rift with their mother, and they have not been seen in public with the Moulin Rouge star since 2007.
Connor and Bella deny this, while Nicole has previously spoken of her ‘unconditional’ love for the couple, in light of their ‘choice to become Scientologists.’

Tom and Nicole were awarded joint custody of the children in their divorce settlement, but the children ultimately chose to remain with their father and remain members of Scientology.
In 2014, Connor said, “I don’t care what people say. I know my mom and I are solid. I love her very much. My family means everything.”
When Connor married his Italian wife Silvia Zanchi in a Scientology ceremony in 2019, his mother was noticeably absent.
It was reported at the time that Tom had forbidden his son from inviting Nicole to the occasion, due to her status as an ‘oppressive person’.
“First of all, Tom would never consider inviting Nicole to Connor’s wedding because she’s considered an ‘oppressive person’ by the church. And secondly, he doesn’t want her to attend,” a source told Radar.
And when Nicole received a prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute in April, her eldest children were not there.
Although Bella liked her mother’s Instagram post about the gong, Connor did not publicly acknowledge his mother’s award.
In her book Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology, former Scientology member Leah Remini alleges that Nicole was labeled a “suppressive person” or “SP” by the church after she left the church.
In an earlier interview, she also claimed that Katie has been branded with the same label.
“Scientology views Katie as a suppressive person, which is an enemy, and so Tom, like all Scientologists, believes he has no connection to Suri,” she told the Adam Carolla Show in 2020.
Ron Miscavige, the father of Scientology leader David, who has himself renounced the religion, previously told DailyMail.com that there is a “toxic” policy of “closure” within the church.

Connor is a private individual living in Clearwater, Florida, in a house within a Scientology community.
He seems to have a passion for deep sea fishing and often posts photos on his Instagram account of himself proudly holding up his catch of the day in boats.
Connor also enjoys golfing and going out on the golf course with his friends, as can be seen on his Instagram profile.
In 2021, he started an Instagram profile, Connor’s Meat Shack, where he showcases tender, slow-cooked cuts of meat he’s prepared.
Elsewhere, Isabella, who goes by Bella, lives in London with her husband, who is an IT manager.
