Her first name means "princess" in Hebrew, and given the fascination the paparazzi have for her, that doesn't seem to be a coincidence.
Suri, daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, has focused the attention of the tabloids and other scandal presses since her early childhood.
If her parents – divorced today – sometimes found themselves somewhat helpless in the face of such pressure, the actress intends to sound the death knell for this excessive media coverage.
“What is very important with my daughter, since she has been so exposed at such a young age, is to protect her,” she confided
to Glamor US
, magazine in which she is interviewed at length this month.
Suri, now 16, is still photographed at each of her appearances.
Nothing seems to have changed since the 2000s… Apart, perhaps, from her mother's vigilance, which has increased over time.

A precious creativity in the eyes of the actress, who claims to have "very lucky to be a mother, and especially her mother".
“Suri is an amazing person,” she praises.

I propose to him every time, ”she confides.
Before adding, moved: "It's a proof of love for me to include someone I love so much."
A fusional relationship, sheltered from Scientology beliefs
Katie Holmes, who has been raising her daughter alone since her divorce from Tom Cruise in June 2012, had already shown concern for the future of her child… For a reason that also cost her her marriage: the actor from
Top Gun
(1986) is a follower of Scientology, a sect which prohibits - among other things - staying in contact with anyone who does not adhere to the precepts of the movement.
As soon as the American decided to leave the Californian Scientology Church, her ex-husband cut ties with her daughter… with whom he would have had no contact since.
Legal documents, released at the time of their split by
TMZ
, made it clear that Katie Holmes did not want her daughter to be subjected to joining the cult.
She had also obtained sole custody.
And even if today, Suri is gradually taking off, her mother is still just as present.
“It means a lot to me to have her by my side, because she is my heart,” she concludes.
