Katie Holmes Sets the Record Straight About Daughter Suri's Finances

Katie Holmes is feeling so rosy about her gift.

After all, the Dawson's Creek alum couldn't help but gush over the lovely birthday surprise that her and ex-husband Tom Cruise's 18-year-old daughter Suri Cruise gave her.

"I am so grateful for all my blessings," Katie wrote on her Dec. 18 Instagram Stories alongside a snap of the blooming purple rose bouquet, "especially my daughter."

There's no doubt she was feeling the love on her 46th birthday. In fact, she shared birthday tributes from loved ones on her Instagram Stories, including an adorable behind-the-scenes throwback photo of Katie from the iconic '90s TV show. She wrote, "This picture is from a birthday I celebrated on the set of Dawson's Creek."

Katie—who was 20 when she starred in the show alongside James Van Der Beek, Joshua Jackson and Michelle Williams—looks back at the time fondly. So, it was no surprise that the Batman Begins star is excited for Suri to enter this chapter in life.

"I remember being this age, this time of beginnings," Kate told Town & Country in August. "It's exciting to learn about yourself, and I loved that time, so it makes me happy to think about it like that."

She's also so thrilled that Suri—referred to as "Suri Noelle" at her high school graduation—began her first year at Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania.

"I'm proud of my daughter," she said. "Of course, I will miss the close proximity, but I'm really proud of her and I'm happy."

While Katie shares rare glimpses into her and Suri's personal lives, choosing what is shared has been a majority priority.

"What has been really important for me with my daughter, because she was so visible at a young age, is I really like to protect her," she told Glamour in April 2023. "I'm very grateful to be a parent, to be her parent. She's an incredible person."

While Katie—who recently set the record straight on her daughter’s finances—isn’t sure where Suri’s future will take her, she was grateful to see the teen make her singing debut in the opening credits of her 2022 film Alone Together.

"I hope she always does something on my films," she told the outlet. "I always ask her. But both of those experiences came out of the same sense of what I love about our industry, which is, you have these projects and you become a family with people."
