On June 19th, 2024, The Daily Mail published a set of candid paparazzi images of Suri Cruise on her prom night. The now 18-year-old daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes was dressed to the nines and snuggled up to her boyfriend, Toby Cohen.
Suri was photographed outside of the Ascent Lounge in New York City, not far from her high school. She wore a corset-style dress with a floral print and maroon piping. She also wore a top that showed off her bust. Her prom date was all over her in the photographs, which also included a number of Suri's classmates/friends.
The following day, both Suri and Toby Cohen were photographed again on a walk in Central Park; this time engaging in some major PDA. Most fans in the comment sections on The Daily Mail were irate that the paparazzi would capture and sell images of the 18-year-old making out with her boyfriend. But others, much like in the comment section of the images from her prom, took their grief out on Suri's absent father.
The details of Tom Cruise's estrangement from his third child, Suri Cruise, are unknown at this time. According to Hello Magazine, they are likely due to Katie Holmes and Suri's desire to leave The Chruch of Scientology . Tom is a devoted member of the church and has been taught to distance himself from so-called "suppressive people" who criticize the church.
While Suri Cruise's mother, Katie Holmes, wasn't present at her prom, fans are well aware of their close relationship. In contrast, Tom Cruise was last seen in London, flying helicopters, and shooting his next movie. The fact that he was absent from Suri's prom (as well as the majority of her life), really angered fans in the comment section on The Daily Mail.
Here are some of their comments, which included praise for Suri's removal from Scientology:
- "And yet he walked away from her. Definitely not a father."
- "The real hero in her life is her maternal grandpa & ace lawyer… he outmaneuvered all those Sct lot and got his girl out."
- "Turned out well despite her terrible father."

Suri Curise's life is drastically different than those of her famous parents, Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise.
However, some fans actually defended Tom Cruise against those criticizing him in the comment section. They pointed to the child support payments Tom pays Katie every year. Others claimed that fans weren't given all sides of the story and therefore shouldn't cast judgment on Tom.
According to Hello Magazine, Tom Cruise paid Katie Holmes $400,000 per year in child support payments . This ended when Suri turned 18. The funds covered her education, medical, dental, and other costs.
Regardless of the difference in reactions to Suri Cruise's high-profile outings, the vast majority of the fans in the comment section praised Katie Holmes' mothering:
- "What a lovely young lady, so happy and enjoying life and her friends! May you have a glorious, productive, healthy, and happy future. Your mom gave you a brilliant start!!"
- "Mom did an excellent job."
- "Pretty girl. I'm so glad her mom got her away from that nut job and that cult. Nice. Maybe she'll have a normal, happy life. Going to the prom is a good start."

Despite being caught in the middle of her parent's public divorce, Suri Cruise chose to handle things in private.
As Suri went into her prom, she stopped to take photographs with a number of friends and their dates. All the while, she was been photographed by a sneaky group of paparazzi. The very next day, Suri's privacy was invaded once more when the paparazzi caught her and Toby kissing in Central Park. These were the first two times Suri Cruise has been seen with a boyfriend.
Fans in the comment section remarked that Toby looks similar to Suri's father Tom. But almost all of them were disgusted at how the paparazzi invaded her privacy. This is what they had to say:
- "Just STOP. She is a young woman living a private life trying to find her own way. How invasive and unfair this is to her."
- "Seriously!!! Somehow I feel very protective of her and I don’t want the paparazzi stalkers to do to her what was done to Britney, Justin Bieber, Lindsey… just waiting for a scandal. Pushing her into angry anxiety where she breaks. Leave. Suri. Alone!!!!"
- "So invasive and inappropriately zoomed in. Please leave her alone and let her enjoy her life. She’s not a celebrity."
- "Leave. Her. Alone. She didn’t sign up for this."
- "Good grief, far too intrusive! Whoever took these pics should be ashamed of themselves! Paying for them - even worse."
- "Leave her alone, seriously. shes living a normal life and doesn't want any of this press. just because shes 18 now doesn't mean shes fair game. youre just gonna scare that boy off - and any other boy that comes along."
- "Young love. They are just darling. Please let them enjoy their moments in privacy."
