Tom Cruise's Awkward Answer About Father's Day Sparks Questions About His Relationship With Daughter Suri
Tom Cruise's personal life has been shrouded in mystery, from his dating life to his bond with his kids. Everyone has questions about his relationship with his and Katie Holmes' daughter Suri Cruise, and now, more than ever, people want answers.
In case you missed it, earlier this week, an E! News journalist asked Tom: 'Father's Day is just around the corner. What would an ideal Father's Day look like for you?' And his response has people talking.

Tom Cruise's Second Act Keeps Getting Derailed by Scientology
In a truly awkward turn of events, Tom responded by saying, 'You know…' before trailing off and shaking his head while looking into the distance. He added, 'Just having fun, man. Making movies, big adventure, having a good time.'
Welp, how vague. You can see the proof for yourself in the video they posted HERE!
Now, YouTube users instantly commented on this awkward moment, calling out Tom for his reported estrangement.
One user said, 'A simple question about Father's Day and he can't answer it. He has gotten to a point where all he can talk about is movies and his love of movies. What about being a parent, Tom? There was a time when that was important to you. Sad for this man.'
'Wow kudos for the interviewer for finding a way to approach his father controversies, usually his questions are pre screened,' another added. '…I wish more interviewers could confront this sleazy guy about the unethical things surrounding him.'
While Holmes and Tom have never publicly commented on whether he is, in fact, estranged from Suri, it's widely reported on, and insiders have even spilled the beans about it.
Former leading Scientologist Karen De La Carriere previously told DailyMail that while many think that there are a lot of rules that prohibit Cruise from seeing Suri, it's just one major rule that she believes to be the case.
'Katie was deemed a Suppressive Person and Suri, by extension, a Potential Trouble Source,' she said. Chances are, you've heard about Scientology referring to some outsiders as a 'Suppressive Person,' which basically means someone who does suppressive acts against the Church and is dubbed an enemy for it. A Potential Trouble Source is basically a step below a Suppressive Person, it's basically someone linked to a Suppressive Person who may indicate they'll be an enemt ot the Church as well.
This was backed up when DailyMail also asked Cruise's former security detail, Brendan Tighe, about it. 'So long as Suri sides with her mom, there will be no contact with her dad,' he said.
'But what about his two kids with Nicole Kidman (another ex of his who left the Church and became a Suppressive Person)?' Well, the reason he talks to his adopted children, that he shares with ex-wife Kidman, is that they're both Scientologists (with his daughter Bella as a high-ranking one at that).
For those who don't know, Tom has three children in total. He and Kidman, with whom he was married to from 1990 to 2001, adopted two children: Isabella Jane 'Bella' Cruise and Connor Antony Cruise.
Then, he and his ex-wife Holmes welcomed Suri on April 18, 2006, and they were married from 2006 to 2012.Best of SheKnows

Nicola Peltz And Brooklyn Beckham Reportedly Hire Prince Harry And Meghan's Lawyer Amid Family Rift
Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham have reportedly hired the same lawyer used by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to help them with their "reputation management." This comes amid reports that the young couple bonded with the Sussexes over similar experiences with their in-laws. Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham have particularly been in the news lately as their relationship with David and Victoria Beckham has become more strained. According to the Daily Mail, Nicola and Brooklyn are growing concerned about the various reports about them on the internet and are trying to protect their reputation. This has seemingly led the duo to hire British solicitor, Jenny Afia, who works for Schillings law firm. The Duchess of Sussex is said to have also given a referral after Brooklyn and Nicola met the US-based royal and her husband at a party in Montecito, California, in early May. Sources now claim that the lawyer's appointment has prompted "much amusement," as David and Victoria Beckham are allegedly not on good terms with Harry and Meghan. Another source elaborated more on the latest development, noting that Nicola and Brooklyn took the "drastic" decision due to recent headlines about them. "You couldn't really make it up, first Brooklyn and Nicola cosy up together and realise they have quite a lot in common, and then all of a sudden they have enlisted the help of the Sussexes' long-serving lawyer," the source told the Daily Mail. They continued, "Nicola and Brooklyn are getting fed up of stories running they don't like. Nicola likes to control everything, and they have taken this rather drastic action." "For the Beckhams, the irony isn't lost. They fell out with Meghan and Harry after they accused them of leaking stories – they were furious and Brooklyn knows that," the source added. "The two couples are very close indeed." Three weeks ago, the Sussexes had an intimate dinner party with Brooklyn and Nicola in Montecito, hosted by Brian Robbins, chief executive at Paramount Pictures. While the event raised eyebrows due to the ongoing tensions within the Beckham family, it was confirmed that the plans were made before the public fallout between Brooklyn and his parents, David and Victoria. During the dinner party, Meghan reportedly felt a strong sense of empathy toward Nicola, as both women have experienced similar challenges navigating strained family dynamics under the spotlight. A source told The Sun that during the dinner, Meghan and Peltz shared a heartfelt conversation, bonding over how they've "been positioned in the media as home-wreckers — the women to tear apart their husbands' families." "Meghan had a lot of sympathy for her, and said there was shared common ground," the insider revealed. "They didn't meet in relation to recent developments and headlines, but it was an honest but very welcome coincidence." David and Victoria once shared a close friendship with Harry and Meghan, even attending the couple's royal wedding in 2018. They reportedly went so far as to offer Harry and Meghan use of their Beverly Hills home as a private retreat not long after the royal wedding. However, the relationship between the two couples has since cooled. According to reports, tension arose when Meghan allegedly suspected Victoria of leaking personal information to the media, a claim that created significant friction. A source told The Sun that Meghan voiced her concerns to Harry, suggesting Victoria was the source of a leak. The source noted that Harry reached out to David in an attempt to clear the air, stating: "Harry is very protective of Meghan, and decided to deal with the matter head-on, by directly contacting his good pal, David. Harry was very polite, but obviously, it was a pretty awkward exchange, and David was mortified." Recently, a video of Brooklyn and Nicola riding a motorbike sparked concerns. A source told the Daily Mail that Brooklyn's appearance in the video was alarming as he is privately known to detest being filmed, and would only do it if he had to. In the video, he was seen riding a motorbike with Nicola, seemingly showing he's siding with her in the bitter feud with his family and would do anything for her. "My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you're the most amazing person I know xx me and you forever baby," Brooklyn wrote in the caption of the clip. This has now raised suspicion among his loved ones as his parents fear he is under Nicola's control. "Brooklyn is now being referred to as 'the hostage.' He is in a situation where those who love Brooklyn fear that he is being controlled by Nicola, and it is heartbreaking," an insider close to the situation told the news outlet. "Videos like this are just not what he does. He will be dying inside," they continued. "He's soppy and he's a romantic, but that video just isn't him. He hates all of that stuff, so you have to wonder if Nicola was behind it."
