A week earlier, Tom Cruise did not attend his biological daughter Suri Cruise’s high school graduation.

Paparazzi captured the moment action movie star Tom Cruise (61 years old) wearing a gray-white short-sleeved shirt and jeans, smiling brightly as he left the helipad.

Meanwhile, Connor Cruise (29 years old) wore a black hoodie, gray pants, sneakers , a baseball cap of the same color and sunglasses. Unlike his father, he looked serious and quiet.

According to witnesses, in addition to Cruise and his father, there were several other anonymous guests on the trip.

Tom’s move with Connor comes at a time when he is facing criticism for lacking an important celebration in his daughter Suri’s life.

A day after missing his 18-year-old’s graduation from LaGuardia High School, the Mission Impossible star chose to party with Taylor Swift and other celebrities at the singer’s Eras Tour in London. Tom was spotted laughing and chatting with the pop superstar’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce.

Meanwhile, Suri participated in the graduation ceremony with her mother – Katie Holmes and other students.

However, it was no surprise that Tom Cruise did not attend his daughter’s big day. The reason was that they had been apart for many years, so their father-daughter relationship had gradually faded.

In March 2023, a source exclusively confirmed to Page Six that the Top Gun star was “not involved” in his daughter’s life, something he previously admitted in a lawsuit due to his ties to the Scientology sect.

When Katie Holmes (45 years old) announced her separation from Tom Cruise in 2011, she and Suri no longer participated in any role in the Scientology sect – which is controversial because it does not allow believers to associate with non-believers.

However, because Connor – Tom’s adopted son with ex-wife Nicole Kidman – is still a member of the Scientology sect, he can still spend time with his famous father.

Previously, in November 2018, Nicole Kidman revealed Connor and her sister Bella Cruise’s decision to remain a follower of the Scientology sect.

“They’re adults. They can make their own decisions,” the Moulin Rouge star told Australia’s Who magazine at the time.

“They both chose to become Scientologists and as a mother it’s my job to love them. I’m an example of that tolerance because I believe that no matter what your child does, they need love…”, Nicole Kidman added.

Nicole Kidman is now married and living with Keith Urban after divorcing Tom Cruise in 2001.
