Tom Cruise has reportedly not seen and kept in touch with his daughter Suri with his ex-wife Katie Holmes for over 1,000 days. While the "Mission Impossible" actor blamed his busy schedule for this, several reports claim that Scientology is the reason behind his failure to take care of his own child.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes may have called it quits a long time ago but the former couple will remain connected because of their 10-year-old daughter, Suri. A recent report from In Touch claims that the "Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation" actor has not seen or spoken to Suri for 1,000 days, reports Celeb Dirty Laundry.
The 53-year-old actor admitted to not spending enough time with Suri in previous interviews; however, he explained that this was because of his busy schedule. Back then, Tom maintained that while he does not see his daughter all the time, he still manages to stay in touch with her through text or phone and video calls.
This has all changed, however, as an insider told the publication that Tom no longer communicates with Suri.
"They used to Skype and text, but that trailed off drastically," the source said. "He uses his film commitments as an excuse, but the truth is that doesn't hold much weight with Suri anymore."
The publication notes that Tom Cruise has ignored his daughter Suri for 1,000 days because of a rule in Scientology. The Church reportedly dictates that its members avoid speaking to those who are not members of the same organization, even if they are their own family members.
While Tom Cruise appears to be skipping on his parental duties because of Scientoloy, it appears that his ex-wife, Katie Holmes is doing a great job at being a mother. According to MailOnline, the 37-year-old actress was recently spotted attending Suri's dance recital despite the raging bushfire just miles away from their home.
Holmes was spotted out with her 10-year-old daughter along with her parents to attend Suri's dance recital. Katie Holmes has been taking full custody of Suri since her split from Tom Cruise in 2012.
