Suri Cruise, the daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, made her singing debut in the latter’s new film Alone Together. Suri apparently performed the cover of Blue Moon that plays throughout the film’s opening credits. Alone Together is a love drama written and directed by Holmes, who also acts with Jim Sturgess in the film. In response to her daughter’s musical debut, Holmes told Yahoo! Entertainment that Suri is extremely talented and that she likes guiding brilliant people:
“I am constantly looking for the best talent.” So I inquired. She’s really gifted. She said she’d do it, so she did, and I let her do her thing. In general, that’s how I direct. ‘This is what I believe we all want — go do your thing,’ it says.
Holmes also informed the newspaper that her daughter’s on-screen musical performance is not her only one, as she has also offered her voice to sing for the forthcoming film Rare Objects, which was filmed last year:
“She did sing in the film ‘Rare Objects,’ which we completed last autumn.” Aside from that, she’s a 16-year-old girl in high school.”

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise married in 2006 and had their daughter Suri the following year. The couple divorced in 2012, and Holmes was given custody of their kid. According to reports, despite having visitation rights throughout the divorce, Cruise does not see his daughter very frequently.
Tom Cruise’s connection with his daughter Suri
Suri, the daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, was born on April 18, 2006, the same year the couple married. Prior to her birth, the Mission Impossible actor informed Barbara Walters that he had purchased an ultrasound equipment at home so that he could view his daughter every day. The American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine made a statement opposing the idea at the time, since purchasing an ultrasound machine at home without a prescription was illegal in the early 20s. The hospital apparently received the equipment after Suri was delivered.

Following Suri’s birth, Cruise told 20/20’s Deborah Roberts that the delivery of his daughter was “spiritual”:
“It was everything we hoped it would be… It was spiritual in nature. It was quite effective. It was beyond words. What words are available to you? It’s something I’m continually analyzing and experiencing.”
When Holmes and Cruise divorced in 2012, the former received custody of their kid. That year, the Jack Reacher actor was also photographed with his daughter in Disneyland, which was their last public appearance together. Tom Cruise launched a $50 million defamation lawsuit against Bauer Media in 2013 after its publications allegedly suggested he had abandoned his daughter. The actor was even more outraged when questioned whether Holmes sought divorce “in part to safeguard Suri from Scientology,” a contentious religious practice. He stated:
“There is no need for me to shield my daughter from my faith.”
When the attorneys inquired whether Holmes had left Cruise because of his involvement with Scientology, he allegedly said:
“Did she really say that?” Yes, it was one of the claims.”
According to TMZ, Cruise reportedly addressed Holmes and Suri for not following his faith at the time. If this is accurate, his daughter is “suppressive,” a phrase commonly used to describe persons who quit the Church of Scientology and are “shut off” from their close family members who continue to practice Scientology.
When Cruise and Holmes divorced, the former was granted visitation rights to see his daughter 10 days per month. He was also ordered by the court to pay Suri’s educational and medical costs, as well as $400,000 in child support every year until she turns 18. According to many accounts, the star has subsequently been estranged from his daughter.
