Why Tom Cruise may view his daughter Suri as a 'potential trouble source': Amid rumours the pair haven't spoken in 12 years, ALISON BOSHOFF reveals the very strange world of Scientology and why its rules could be blamed for extraordinary rift


When Tom Cruise 's daughter, Suri, stepped out last weekend in New York on her 18th birthday, it was truly surprising to see just how much she looked like her famous father.

The question of what sort of relationship Cruise has with Suri — he also has two older children, Bella and Connor, adopted during his marriage to Nicole Kidman — is a riddle wrapped in an enigma and there is no clear answer. Last summer a source close to the actor told this newspaper he kept in touch with his daughter via Zoom and phone calls, and denied they were estranged. Indeed, Scientology is infamous for discouraging believers from maintaining relationships with those outside the religion and has been routinely blamed for estranging its devotees from non-believers, some of whom they dub 'Suppressive Persons'.
