With Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’s daughter Suri Cruise turning 18 soon, many have wondered what the celebrity kiddo will do when it comes to her reportedly estranged relationship with her father. While many think nothing will change when Suri becomes a legal adult in the US, some think Tom may take some drastic measures to get her on his side.

In a resurfaced interview with the New York Post (which was reshared by the tabloid site Marca recently), former Scientologist and Troublemaker author Leah Remini said she believes Tom may try to get Suri to join Scientology.

“I knew Katie when she was in (Scientology) and she seemed very indoctrinated into Tom’s world but as time went on, and I understood why she did what she did to protect her daughter… I’m only assuming that there’s some type of agreement to protect her daughter,” she said about why Holmes may have left the controversial Church.

However, Remini dropped another prediction: “I’m sure his master plan is to wait until Suri gets older so that he can lure her into Scientology and away from her mother.”

In April 2024, Suri will be 18, which will not only mean that she’ll be an adult, out and about in her next life step, but Cruise’s monthly support payments may stop. It’s been reported that the Mission Impossible star’s child support payments are reported to total just over $33,000 per month, totaling around $400,000 per year.

Many speculate that this may be what starts a conversation with the estranged father-daughter duo, especially since Tom never left Scientology (despite some thinking he left for Suri). Remini, along with many others, thinks Tom has a plan to get his youngest child into the Church of Scientology with him, but Holmes could step in to nip it in the bud.

For those who don’t know, Holmes welcomed Suri, now 17 years old, on April 18, 2006, with her ex-husband Tom.
