Suri Cruise has a ‘non-existent’ relationship with her father Tom Cruise‘s children, Connor and Isabella, according to sources who claim that she has not responded to their repeated attempts to make contact over the years.
The teen daughter of Katie Holmes, 45, who now prefers to be known as Suri Noelle, has a famously fractured relationship with her Scientologist father, 61, who was not on hand to mark her recent milestone 18th birthday.
Now, insiders have revealed that Tom being exiled from his daughter’s life has also resulted in estrangement between his adopted children and Suri.
‘They haven’t had contact in a decade and there are several reasons why,’ a source exclusively revealed to DailyMail.com.
‘First and foremost is the church of Scientology. Suri’s father and brother do not associate with her because of their devotion to the church, so why would she have a relationship with her siblings?’

The insider also added that Isabella, 31, and Connor, 29, previously felt ‘outcast’ at times due to the fact Suri is Tom’s biological child.
‘Secondly, there is some jealousy from Connor and Isabella when it comes to Suri because she is Tom’s biological child,’ the source continued.
‘They are grateful that they were adopted but having no relationship with their mom, her family, Suri and that entire circle has made them feel outcast.’
However, it hadn’t always been the case as the insider dished that Connor had previously been close to his younger sister before lines were drawn.
The source explained: ‘Connor tried to have a relationship with Suri as they were once close, but their relationship is now non-existent. He doesn’t try anymore. Isabella has never been close with Suri.’
Though it seems like hope is all but lost when it comes to Suri rekindling a connection with her father and siblings, some believe Tom might attempt a rapprochement.
Actress Leah Remini, who defected from Scientology, warns that Katie needs to watch out, saying: ‘I’m sure [Cruise’s] master plan is to wait until Suri gets older so he can lure her into Scientology and away from her mother.’
Time will tell if the pair can ever reconcile following the wedge between the father and daughter whose relationship first splintered in 2012.

When Suri turned 18, DailyMail.com learned that the aspiring fashion creative has no plans to approach her dad – with a source stating at the time: ‘Tom does not exist to her.’
The insider explained: ‘Suri will not have any contact with her father, despite being 18, and even if he called, she would not answer.
‘He does not exist to Katie or Suri, and his daughter does not want to rely on him for anything. She feels that she has one parent and that is her mother.’
Now that she is 18, all remaining ties with Tom were severed because he is no longer required to pay child support to Katie – which had been a reported sum of $400,000 a year.
In contrast, Tom has a close relationship with Connor and Isabella, whom he adopted during his marriage to ex-wife Nicole Kidman in the 1990s.
It has previously been reported that, although the former couple were awarded joint custody of the children in their divorce settlement in 2001, the two eventually chose to live with their father.
They continued to be raised in the controversial Church of Scientology, in which Nicole had no part after her split from the Mission Impossible star.
The duo’s close relationship with Tom, led to an alleged rift with their mother and they have not been seen in public with the Moulin Rouge star since 2007.
It is a claim that Connor and Bella deny, while Nicole has previously spoken of her ‘unconditional’ love for the pair, in light of their ‘choices to be Scientologists.’

Back in 2014, Connor said: ‘I don’t care what people say. I know that me and mum are solid. I love her a lot. My family means everything.’
However, when Connor married his Italian wife Silvia Zanchi in a Scientology ceremony in 2019, his mother was notably absent from the occasion.
It was reported at the time that Tom had prohibited his son from inviting Nicole to the occasion because of her status as a ‘suppressive person’.
‘First, Tom would never even consider inviting Nicole to Connor’s wedding because she’s considered a “suppressive person” by the church — and, second, he doesn’t want her there,’ a source told Radar.
And when Nicole was awarded a prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute in April, her eldest children did not attend.
While Bella liked an Instagram post from her mother about the gong, Connor did not publicly acknowledge his mother’s accolade.
In her book Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology, ex-Scientology member Leah Remini claimed that Nicole had been labelled a ‘suppressive person’ or ‘SP’ by the church after leaving.
In a previous interview she also claimed Katie has been brandished with the same label.
‘Scientology considers Katie a suppressive person which is an enemy and therefore Tom believes, like all Scientologists, that he can’t be connected to Suri,’ she told the Adam Carolla Show in 2020.
Ron Miscavige, the father of Scientology leader David, who himself renounced the religion, previously told DailyMail.com that there is a ‘toxic’ policy of ‘disconnection’ operating within the church.

Connor is a private person who lives in Clearwater, Florida, in a home within a Scientology community.
He seems to be passionate about deep sea fishing and often posts photos on his Instagram account proudly holding up his catch of the day on boats.
Among Connor’s other hobbies are golf, and he appears to enjoy days out on the course with his friends, according to his Instagram profile.
In 2021 he started an Instagram profile, Connor’s Meat Shack, in which he shows off tender, slow-cooked joints of meat that he has cooked.
Elsewhere, Isabella – who goes by Bella – lives in London with her IT manager husband.
