Katie Holmes has raised her daughter Suri as a single parent, but it’s not been without a helping hand from her close-knit family.

The Dawson’s Creek actress is a doting mom-of-one to the teen she shares with her ex-husband, Tom Cruise.

However, it’s clear Katie’s family have strong genes. Not only does Suri look a lot like her famous mom, but a number of the other Holmes women – including Aunt Holly.

Katie’s four siblings

Katie – who is one of five – has three sisters, Holly, Tamera and Nancy, and a brother,  Michael Jr. too and posted a throwback photo of them on Instagram.

Suri has inherited Katie’s raven hair which all three siblings sport, but her facial features also strongly resemble those of her aunt Holly.

The decision to move to Pittsburgh will be bittersweet for Katie though, with her having raised Suri as a single mother in New York City following her divorce from Tom.

While Katie is incredibly protective of Suri, she has previously given several insights into her personality in interviews, including a sweet glimpse into their mother-daughter relationship, and what kind of personality traits Suri has.
